Juhana, do you realize that this is only a test page that shows how a
phpnuke-based portal is structured.
There is no LAD stuff on the site yet !
The menu itemas can be totally customized (colors etc too).
No one does need to register to comment the stories (ala slashdot) or to post
in eventual forums.

I partly agree with you on the "final vote".
I think we should try to set up some test page (phpnuke) filled with LAD stuff
(eg the one with the prominent link to the mailinglist info (or better what is
LAD) or alternatively a text explanation) and then see how it looks.

We want a portal that represents both the developers community as giving users
access to the LAD stuff too.
A sort of one-stop ressource.

no advertisements (have you read my previous mail)
but if we want we can advertise other opensource audio projects. (ardour,ecc
ecc)
folks, thoughts about the issues raised by Juhana ?
I think the final site will need a second round of votes in order to be
approved.
So meanwhile we will experiment a bit until every nitpicker will be satisfied.
cheers,
Benno.
