[RULE] RULE Project Website Help

[Henry Hartley]

I'd like to volunteer to do some work on the website but don't
really know where to begin.  A few things I noticed (in no
particular order):

* Typographical errors in pages - This includes stylistic /
  word order issues.  While some of these are quite minor and
  of no real consequence, it seems like a good idea, if you
  want to appeal to business people to make the site as
  polished as possible.

* Broken links - For instance:

  - The link to the WIKI from this page:
    <http://rule-project.org/article.php3?id_article=42> has:
    <http://http//wiki.fair.no/bin/view/Software/RULE> as
    its href which (for obvious reasons) doesn't work.

  - On the "How to contribute to the web site" page
    <http://rule-project.org/article.php3?id_article=53> it
    says, "Download the text version of the home page to see
    what I mean."  It's not obvious, from there, where to
    download the text version of the home page.  I downloaded
    the entire site archive and found the text versions of the
    files but it wasn't obvious that this is how you get that.

  - Links to http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/rule/ go to
    an empty directory.  Have them moved or are those links
    out of date?

  - Other links get 404 errors.  

* Miscellaneous oddities - From the main page, click on
  "Download" in the main menu.  You get the download page at
  <http://www.rule-project.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=3>.
  This page has links to two other pages, 

	Download RULE installers, or the whole website
	Sunday 18th April 2004 by M. Fioretti

	RULE: ISO and boot images
	Sunday 22nd June 2003 

  The first of these links to
  http://www.rule-project.org/article.php3?id_article=2 which
  talks about what files are available for download but has no
  actual links.  Odd.

  The second seems to have the same information provided in a
  slightly different format but this time there are links.

  On those pages it says, "We also offer daily dumps, in HTML
  and text format, of the whole website, for easier offline
  browsing:".  Two problems:

  - The file linked to from there <rule.mirror.en.tar.bz2>
    seems to contain the web site as it was on 9 October 2004,
    seems like the daily cron job isn't working (or the link is
    not pointing to the right file.  Is there an up-to-date
    site archive?  

  - Saying "daily dumps, in HTML and text format" sounded to me
    like separate html and plaintext dumps.  That doesn't seem
    to be the case.  Maybe that's just me.

* The site implies that RULE can be used to install Fedora Core
  and the installation instructions mention that a few times.
  Then, however, it talks later on about RH 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0
  with no mention of 9.0, FC1 or FC2.  If we're going to
  encourage the use of RULE, the docs need to be up-to-date.

Anyway, I'd like to help.  I'm not God's gift to the web but I
have some time and interest.  What do I need to do?
