hg-website todo (how you can help)

[David Soria Parra]

As promised in the announcement here is a short list of what's going on
at the hg-website project and how you can help to improve it.

At the moment were 1-2 persons working on it, which is not much, and we
need your help to do a proper website.

Technical stuff:
  We are using django at the moment. If you know django, there is a lot
  of stuff to do. We need proper download handling, i18n, etc.
  The most important thing here at the moment is a proper download
  handling with a fallback mechanism. If you browse with windows and
  want to download mercurial, the page should get you the last available
  windows binaries. There is currently no fallback if the windows
  binaries are not recent (e.g. current release is 1.1.2 but latest
  windows builds are 1.1.2).

Non technical stuff:
  Small improvements:
    The page currently features showing random 'tips&tricks'. If you
    have a nice trick to share that fits into 4-5 lines, go for it.

    Grammar. Most of the page content was written by non
    native-speakers, therefore if you know english well we would like to
    get improvements and fixes for that.

    We are planning to add random quotes from mercurial users
    (prefereable from big projects like mozilla, etc) if you can compile
    a list of those quotes, that would be great.

 Bigger improvements:
    We a currently lacking a lot of content. Quick Starts, Migration
    guides (svn->hg, git->hg, etc), guides to extension usage, etc.
    Most of that is available in the wiki and can be adopted from there.
     
    - SVN Migration Guide
    - Mercurial for beginners

    The file text/structures.txt give you a good overview.

 For sure, comments and suggestions are always welcome
