noticed a huge amount of mails on this subject this morning and its good 
to see many idea's, please allow to  me to be the first to introduce a 
mockup, i did this in the last hour so its far from finished but at 
least its an idea.

Lets see what we have already and try to keep it simple and make use of 
the right tools for each specific task, at the moment there is a great 
wiki with good content. Have used it myself once and its easy to 
contribute new content.

wiki.linux-vserver.org

maybe someone might be willing to give some thought on the layout of the 
data structure as it is displayed on the wiki frontpage only with up to 
date finished content to make sure a first arriver can more easily find 
what he (or she) is looking for.


====maybe also ====
a simpler page
<code>
explaining the wiki syntax
</code>


forum.linux-vserver.org

are we willing to support this??
the mailing list is great but many new users prefer a forum to ask for 
support and can browse the subjects without having to sign up first when 
investigating various visualization techniques, the benefit of an active 
forum is that it clearly indicates an active community and that would be 
a good sign. Also the most frequently asked questions would give us some 
clear idea on how to improve the documentation.
a simple phpbb installation would be sufficient for this, i could set 
this up later.

www.linux-vserver.org

the front page of the project, i have setup a simple wordpress example 
on http://test.songshu.org (just set up the dns so be patient if it does 
not resolve at once) not finished and needs some more work to make it 
slick (have to go now for social obligations so will work on that tomorrow)

maybe we can set up a colour scheme idea for all Vserver sites?
maybe get some nice artwork to go where the flower images are right now 
or loose the headed images all together.
(anybody creative for designing the image(s)?)

Home
the frontpage right know is reserved for "big" announcements, maybe a 
nice job for Bertl to do a bi-weekly or so update when import things happen

About
some content from wikipedia right now but it should have some more 
simpler explanation, think of appealing to a CEO with nice pictures.

Distro Support
a list of all distro's that lead to a small page of that distro in 
wordpress explaining that "it is supported" or "don't worry its simple 
to patch" with a link to a distro specific landing page on the wiki 
giving some practical installation instructions for each of that 
distro's release.
(maybe we can find some people making/updating these distro wiki pages)

Vserver Hosting
a page like this http://linux-vserver.org/VServer_Hosting , maybe 
linking to a page in wordpress for that specific hoster, for example, 
dreamhost might even be willing to pay for an "advertisement" page like 
that instead of donations as they mentioned earlier.

as said before this was just an hour work so far from complete but its 
an idea.
