Hi Thiago, I would **like** to see the website redesigned so that community can grow and change as it needs by singularly using the Wiki. Once a major release (ie. "1.0.0") is made, it may behoove us to document these things on the main page. However, until then, any work up to that point should likely only exist on the Wiki.
With this website locked down and not necessarily matching what the wiki has up, this makes the IoTivity project look seriously disorganized. This may also create issues for end users who put time into practicing the wrong documentation. It's a real scenario where an end user may simply walk away from IoTivity due to frustration. All contribution work (including all steps up to actually contributing) can change & will change. This model where any developer who make a slight change must contact one of a handful of people to broadcast their changes is not scalable, and isn't even working currently. Please re-consider the avoidance of re-designing. Perhaps we can add a new column "Wiki" and we can provide some quick links that people whom are absolutely brand new should look at first. Also, as said above, any concrete documentation for a major release could certainly exist on the main page of Iotivity.

Hi Joey I can't remove two of three main columns of the iotivity.org homepage. That would seriously compromise the design of the website. Instead, let's update the content linked from https://www.iotivity.org/documentation https://www.iotivity.org/get-involved Just let me know what you'd like to see showing up there and I'll make it happen.
