[pycsw-devel] new website development

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Tom,

This is a very good idea for all the reasons you mentioned.
+1

BTW, I am preparing an HTML5 presentation for FOSS4G 2013 and I am
wondering where this would live and be maintained.

If the web-site code lives in a new git repository, then I guess it would
be natural to add resources there, right?

Best,
Angelos
