I wouldn't mind doing some work on this, but only about 3 hours per week or so, cause I have very few time.
Maybe you could send me a more detailed version of what must be achieved and how I can help on it.
It would be good to start redoing / adding stuff on the site.
Best Regards

<PRE><FONT COLOR="#737373"><I>Hi,
Sorry for not using the momentum of the BlenderConference for quick
reactions and ideas... currently the dev team is in last stage of the
new release, I lost time due to server errors, and of course had to do
more folluw-ups after the conference. Not even mentioning all other
things I've been ignoring because of conference work. :)
I'll track mails here though, but have to leave initiatives for
discussions to others a little while. My main quick reaction would be
to not wait for others to decide on 'official' issues (such as
certificates) but start thinking of small actions you can already do
yourself. For example, I've handed out over 30 accounts on
blender3d.org cms already, for people who are interested to maintain
parts of the site.
We're currently still seeking someone to help upgrading/maintaining
tutorials. Also pages for educators (downloads, links, mentioning this
list, etc) would be nice.
Jono still didn't manage to get an account on this list though... we've
been suffering disk errors the past week, hopefully that's solved now.
(Jono, did you retry?)
Anyhoo, just say so and I'll make accounts in cms for you!
