IMO if we don't advertize info-lilypond, we should junk that list. :) ... I'm not arguing that we /shouldn't/ get rid of info. The current webpage supports RSS, so if we dump the news items into RSS, then people could get their instant notifications that way. > It would be nice to have "subscribe to lilypond-user"/live chat > buttons and so de-clutter/split/easify contact.itexi Yeah. > Oh, I think we should keep the search box, and have it on every > page, possibly top right under menu? We have a search box on the website?! :o_O Wow, so we do. A user for 8 years, and I had no idea... anyway, we should definitely do that. Hmm... if we go with an icon-home-button, then we might even have enough horizontal space to put it in the top-right of the menu itself.
