Oh thanks, I'd forgotten! I've adjusted the page, see what you think?

Yes... I was thinking about this. I agree about the blog posts, and I 
agree about putting general project info on the Trac wiki. I mean, much 
more use could be made of the Trac wikis....

Yet, on reflection, firstly, kforgeproject.com site is top in Google 
search for "kforge"....

And secondly, in my analysis there is still a value in having a 
collection of pages that cluster the concerns of a software project in a 
familiar form. That's pretty much as we have it on kforgeproject.com:

Home/News Page
Get Involved/Community Page
Documentation Page
Download Page
About/Features Page

It's a very common pattern, the nicest software project websites all 
share these elements, and I think the KForge project is stronger for it. 
I've added a link from the club page to the project website.

So if we do want to change it, perhaps we can do the blog posts as you 
suggest, use the Trac wiki more. But if we don't like the current 
website, then rather than just removing it, we could reformat the 
content to look like these:
http://appropriatesoftware.net/domainmodel/Home.html
http://appropriatesoftware.net/provide/Home.html

It would be nice automatically to republish OKF blog posts about KForge 
on the KForge project site, but could we link to a tag on the main blog 
for now?
