Hi,
overlooking the current mess in www + the mass of *.kde.org domains (some
 have even own cvs modules) I would like to know if it wouldn't be possible
 to clean that up a "bit". ;)

My proposal would be:

a) move the applications homepages to www/apps/"appname" + make the
"appname".kde.org domains pointing to that + create a index in www/apps which
shows what application are around there with links

b) move ALL *.kde.org subdomains into www/areas/"areaname" + make the
"areaname".kde.org domains pointing to that (and again index)

c) move ALL internationalisation pages to www/i18n/?? (or
 www/international/?? or even seperated www-?? modules)

d) let all this pages (after we have our new design ready + xhtml conform)
 use the templates located at www/templates to get one corporate identity
 look for the whole kde web sites (but that is AFTER we have done the first
 hard restructuring)

e) use <base href="http://www.kde.org"> (and let the *.kde.org domains not
change the docroot, only redirect them to the given subdirs, which will make
links consistent to the base url, which might be set different (like
www.kde.?? for the translated websites which will get a document root set to
www/international/?? or www/i18n/??)

Would that be possible ?

BTW., would be nice to get a common suffix for the pages that are written in
php, should we use .html (as now on www.kde.org) or the more comment .php
suffix (if .php should be it, please change that the server accepts
index.php), the includes will get .inc.

P.S.
Please constructive answers, no flames ;P
This mail goes to kde-core-devel + kde-www and the sysadmin(s), please feel
free to forward to any other people involved in the www stuff.

cu
Christoph
