[Qgis-developer] New website

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

I can only confirm Alexandres opinion.
In fact, i gave up using qgis.org as a starting point for anything, but  
directly use google search for "navigation" cause i will get lost anyway.  
And i think i'm already quite experienced within the qgis ecosystem ...  
but newbies?

What is more dynamic stuff? An example for me would be announcements on  
news or changes from core developers or plugin authors. And only a per  
mille of the user subscribe to or read the mailing lists where those infos  
could be available. Would love to see such things on the start page and  
not buried within any outsourced system. I bet this would downsize a lot  
of user requests.
