I think that content and image are two separate issues. The community
can project a more professional/modern image using FOSS tools - and gain
2 things a) a better image and b) prove that FOSS
can look as good as a asp.net site or better and be cross browser
compatible.

Me. Always been me. (Well, ever since Linux.org.il stopped pointing to
IGLU's site.)
And what are your thought of what you want to do with this domain name?
Exactly what it is right now -- to be a portal to sites that do a
better job than we can. By this, I aim to give all community sites and
service providers equal representation, so that nobody would feel
we're hagging the domain. In fact, I've always stated this at [
http://www.linux.org.il/about ].
If I understood Danny correctly, his sentiment is caused by the fact
there's no 'single point of contact' for Linux on the "official"
domain. Indeed, Linux.org.il doesn't give out that feeling. However,
if we flip it around, that'll be misleading to make the community
appear different than it really is -- loads of loosely-connected
projects who do not report to each other and do not adhere to any
common planning, and turn out with stuff we all use day-to-day. Red
Hat or Oracle web sites may radiate this 'single point of contact'
feel to increase their business, but we shouldn't feel any inferiority
complex regarding the big boys and their sites. (You know, the kind of
sites which emphasize outside-leading links -- cause, why would you
want to go anywhere else?).
BTW, surprisingly, even though the site has low goals and requires
little investment in content, I've hardly had contributing authors
coming up to me with an informative two-paragraph piece in Hebrew on
their favorite distro.
