[Gate-users] A new web site for GATE

[Nils Krah]

And right away some more thoughts:
  
​
  
Unclutter the Documentation page. Specifically, point to the current user guide on readthedocs and move all the other further down in a section "previous user guides" or similar.
  
  
Put a shortcut to readthedocs in the shortcut box on the righjt. ​
  
​​
  
​The "Physics-list selection and recommendations" section of the page should actually be part of the user guide, I think. Or is there a good reason to have that explicitly on that page?
  
​
  
​And, sorry for the ignorant question, is the userwiki still in use? I thought it was superseeded by readthedocs? If so, the links should be removed or marked as obsolete and made less prominent. Stone me if I am missing something. ​
  
​
  
​The Howto and FAQ are actually the same thing ->  merge. And how about including them in the readthedocs documentation? That would centralize information and make it more maintainable (via git/readthedocs).
  
​
  
​The table of Gate-modelled systems is a nice overview. I would move it to the "Publications" section of the website because it mainly points to the respective publications and not to the documentation of the systems.
  
​
  
​That's it.
  
​Thanks for the energy and effort your are putting into the website. Easy to criticize, but much harder to put in place and maintain.

Maybe one could include a custom google search box where the user inserts the keywords and the "site:lists.opengatecollaboration.org" is automatically prepended?

Remove the sentence "If you have a question, it is quite possible that it has been asked before, and that the answers and discussions about it are stored in the GATE-users archive system." - it is redundant and the archive system is of little use in my opinion because of its poor structure. A custom google search seems better.
