A professional looking presentation is about making the community more
credible.
The site is just one tool among many - you wouldnt show up for an sales
presentation to a large account wearing sandals/socks and a t-shirt.

Hi Ilya, Amos,
For what it's worth - The current site is consistent, both in it's content
and in it's execution, with the intent of the original registrant of the
domain. Much of the content that we have had on the site over the years
has migrated to other sites that can do a better job - the sites that are
linked to on linux.org.il and this is a "*good thing*. Slick graphic
excution does not have any added value for this site. Getting iglu.org.il
back online does.
Shanah Tovah,

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.
