Hi Rob,

We may have a job for you already :-)
The "upstream project" from us is the linux-distros project in
eclipse.org, currently populated mostly by redhat/fedora guys.
They have been most helpful to us and we have every incentive to help
them as much as we can as well.

Alexander kurtakov, one of the Fedora/linux-distros guys has told me
that the thing they need most right now, is
someone to make a decent website for the linux-distros project.

So, since eclipse sites are in PHP/CSS and since you are our resident
PHP expert, I thought to propose this task to you.
It is both likely that you are going to do a better job than they will
and you are also freeing valuable time for them to work
with us on hard packaging problems instead.

If you choose to accept this "mission", know that the php framework
eclipse uses is called "Phoenix",
it is documented here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Phoenix_Documentation

Also quoting Nick Boldt:
"it's pretty easy to use -- you define attributes on the $Nav object,
then dump a bunch of PHP
out to the page andit renders your stuff wrapped w/ Phoenix purpleness"

Finally here are some good locations for copy+paste'ing :-)

/cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/gef/
/cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/pdt/

(both at eclipse.org)

So, what do you think? Would you be willing to help with this?

Cheers,
Pantelis
