From 352fee7b5cdaa8bc362b5888cc3158429a3e7860 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Ellenberg Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 22:59:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Web page update How about dropping as much sf links as possible from the index page? I attached an updated geeqie.org/index.html. Re-arranged a bit, only kept the direct link to the lists.sf subscribe page, dropped all other sf links, added two ML archive links, and re-worded to be more "proud" and self-confident. It has been eight years since the fork from GQview, that should not be the one distinct point to make. Rather, (cl)aim to be the best image viewer. Sometimes it's not enough to be good. Sometimes people need to also notice it. --- web/index.html | 95 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/web/index.html b/web/index.html index 83cf147e..2fe499ce 100644 --- a/web/index.html +++ b/web/index.html @@ -1,9 +1,10 @@ - Geeqie Image Viewer - - + Geeqie Image Viewer -- Main Project Page + + +

Back in 2008, Geeqie has been forked from the GQview + project, because it was not possible to contact the GQview author and only maintainer.

+

Geeqie has quickly integrated existing patches, and keeps moving the development forward.

+

We had this project on SF for a long time, then moved to + Gitosis when SF decided to bundle malware with downloads.

After the closing of Gitosis we moved to this place here, to have a stable address for the project. However, there are still many links to the old locations out there.
