The JOS website is about to undergo a re-organization to hopefully make the website much more friendly to newcomers and to help focus attention on current jos status, jos information, and making sure jos looks like an active project (you would not believe how many people think the jos project is dead).

Please check out a preview of the JOS website proposed look at:

http://jos.sourceforge.net/

This is a look-a-like mockup and does not contain any functionality. I mainly want feedback on the idea of using a Yahoo-style directory organization and if the page layout and categories seem reasonable. The content of most of the pages are really quickly cut and pasted in there from the wiki and will be fleshed out much better with the released version (especially the getting started section...). The missing functional parts include:

• Automated member list
• Working wiki (using the http://sourceforge.net/projects/sfwiki )
• Page annotation for web pages(see the annotated manual at http://www.php.net for how this will work)
• Automated package-name reservation system
• Automated jos sub-project listing system (to track and organize all the various software projects related to JOS but not part of the kernel/os itself (like the Jext editor).
• Automated jos news system (hopefully eventually getting to the sophistication of something like www.slashdot.org)

Thanks
