I agree, but I think we should have at least one page in English [&
probably some other language(s)] that talks about Arabeyes: who we are,
our vision, what we do, our project and contributions, ...etc. and I
don't think that this would be so hard to do. I can write the text for
an English and a French version if needed.

Salam,
(I think this ought to be in admin, but I'm posting here for more
visibility)
(if this seems too long, skip to the last two paragraphs)
some time ago we discussed that we need a new website, we talked about
having a new website for Arabeyes. It was decided that we use drupal to
build a new website (and there was even a design for the website).
But times have changed, Arabeyes now has nothing to do with how it was
envisioned by its founders. Recently, I found the arabeyes handbook [1],
and as you can see, Arabeyes isn't functioning like this for some time
now. (tbh, it wasn't like this when I joined Arabeyes nearly 6 years
ago.
What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't try to reproduce the current
structure of the website, but rather to have something more modern, and
more like some other free software projects.
One free software site that I liked is elementary [2]. (and I think a
more modern Arabeyes should function the same way). They are using
drupal as well.
So my suggestion is to collect the different uses that exist for the
current website as well as things that are needed and aren't possible,
and get a minimal website up and try to update it incrementally.
My vision of a minimal website would be something were we can post
announcements (and have comments), and it only needs to have Arabic
content (english may be useful later, but I think it isn't very urgent).
Are there other things you would see as essential to the launch of the
new website?
Regards,
Abderrahim
