Hi, I'm JT and these are my thoughts on community, content management, Plain Black, and WebGUI.

In an effort to make WebGUI.org more appealing to new users and more engaging to existing users, and easier to find the information you want for all users, we're doing a massive redesign of our community site. 

I've attached a couple of sample screen shots to this post, but you can find a complete site showing you what the navigation will look like for all sections over at the official discussion thread for the redesign.

The site is in need of a redesign. It hasn't been updated since we split off webgui.org from plainblack.com over a year and a half ago. But this design isn't just about making webgui.org prettier. It's mostly about making it more usable to the people who use WebGUI. We need new users to be able to find out why WebGUI is so cool. We need existing users to be able to more easily find the information they're looking for. And because our user base is made up of a large community of non-technical users all the way down to very technical programmers that is a difficult task to achieve. 

To make sure we've achieved it, we're soliciting your feedback before we start making any changes. We need your help to make this a successful update. Please take a look at the new design, and leave feedback over at the official discussion thread about the redesign. This is your chance to really get involved, and make sure that we're on the right track to serve your needs. Thanks in advance for taking the time to look it over and give us feedback.

The clear separation and labels "For the desginer" and for the "Developer " are I think perfect. The for "the community" is ok but people do not think of themselves as "Community".

It's coming. Some other projects got us strapped down for a while. But  
we're back to working on it again. Best I can do is tell you that it  
will be available shortly.
