Before supporting a move to Drupal I would still like to see prototypes
of the GRASS frontpage, download page, and since it's already begun the
screenshots page implemented. How will the final product look?

One thing I think is critical is that the changes are monitored in some
sort of SCM with change history including author, date, and commit log
message. Does drupal give access to change history?


Personally I prefer the exactitude of the 'vim' + raw html approach,
and don't like presenting a blog-like page style for a project
homepage. But I look forward to seeing what the Drupal prototype will
look like, or 3rd party examples, and hope my worries can be relieved.


Having said that I am all for lowering barriers to entry to allow more
helpers to contribute. But raw HTML is not very hard, and Markus's nice
CSS setup ensures a consistent and pretty look.
