Re: AbiWord website re-design

To expand on that, here's what my view of the site as it exists and what
I'm planning for the sake of better organization(some of the more
obvious stuff is implicit, like the 'Download' section having links to
download Windows and Linux versions):

 From my perspective, I think a minimalistic approach would work best,
as far as updating the site in the future -- keep a sensible
organizational structure and use version-control to update portions of
the site.

I've installed WordPress and played around with it a bit, but I don't
think it or any other CMS can really provide much in the way of benefit
in this case, other than having a easy/built-in commenting system.

This weekend, I'm going to really buckle down and get this thing done,
because it's honestly been too long coming and I need to salvage my
reputation here(:p), but I'm wondering if you guys would be okay with
editing source html source and committing it every and now and then to
update the site.
