Octave web update

[Mike Miller]

All,

Does anyone have any ideas on the status of the Octave web redesign
that was started by Wendy a year and a half ago [1]? Looking for
opinions, plans that were talked about at the time, what else needed
to be done before it could be used…

I think it's a great update to the web site, and it would look really
good if it could be launched at (roughly) the same time as the
upcoming 4.0 release!

I am interested in helping to move this forward (when I'm not looking
at audio and build configuration bugs for 4.0). To start, I'll host
what we have so far so people can look at it, and work on easy fixes
(broken links, missing pages, missing text, etc).

I'll follow up here when I have the site somewhere public, but I
wanted to get some early feedback and see if anyone remembers the
project at the time and what needs to happen before we can use it.

Especially jwe, since I suppose you're the one who updates the web
site now. Any special considerations with how the web site needs to be
deployed on gnu.org? Is it, or can it be tied to a version control
repo (auto-build-and-publish on hg push)?
