Hi!
If you are willing to make one then post a reply here

I did make a few websites but I didn't do the artwork for most of them, it got supplied to me.
I can do a li'l graphics too though but my expertise is on HTML, PHP, MySQL, that kinda stuff.
Anyway, sites I've done(most of 'm in Dutch, so you prolly won't be able to read 'm )
http://www.countryside.nl/ (design wasn't done by me at all, actually I quite dislike the layout but the site was created before I got involved and redid the whole thing, but the owners liked the layout and wanted it to keep that way)
http://www.terpelan.nl (My design, graphics got sent to me)
http://www.pointpro.nl/clit/ (Mostly my design and my graphics, home-made forum software in there )
http://145.99.221.202/~eggie/ (My design and graphics, still in development though).
If you would want to look at it, I could make a website and some graphics and stuff and then ppl can see if they like it?

Everybody doing stuff .. :/ I think it would be nice to have like... 0.2 out before you do anything drastic like this? What if Sawyer finds out and disagrees with the project? It would be a waste of cash and labour of you ask me.

Sawyer can't do much about it since he doesn't own the rights to the code.
Anyway, that's a risk we have to take. The faster development goes, the more different the code will be from the original work.
And building a website isn't that much of a job anyway, a lot more time has been spent on the project already so I don't see why not.

The project just feels so unorganised to me.
One guy is making installers without conferencing with the programmers what it should contain, another one supplies a 'louncher', as he calls it himself, and in my eyes, he only supplies it just so 'he is part of the project'...
Now you're saying 'I can build a website', but I think it would be so crappy to have to tell someone 'Hey I made new source, edit your website'. Instead, there should be a website owned and administrated by the developers.
(and yes, I know it's opensource)

And who says that wouldn't be possible?
And besides, I didn't propose the website, a website was requested.
Anyway, the website could also be used to keep track of all separate projects around OpenTTD, like the installer and the launcher and language-packs and whatever might pop up and thus making it more organised.

It just doesn't seem logical to me.

A. I hate content management scripts. They tend to look awful
B. I know all about dynamic websites, I am currently placing the final touches on the Zetorpedia part of the Zetorpedia...

Well then, when you said
Of course the admins would be able to upload and add to the site themselves without anyone interfering.
it didn't make much sense did itNow you're saying 'I can build a website', but I think it would be so crappy to have to tell someone 'Hey I made new source, edit your website'. Instead, there should be a website owned and administrated by the developers.

I was trying to give arguments why I think the project is unorganised.
Before anyone starts working on a openttd.org or .com or whatever website, the people wanting to be a part of it at this time should basically have a meeting on IRC or something (Too bad chirho has taken L to #openttd) and discuss it all again.
Things are so chaotic at this time.

Nothing wrong with that. But that doesn't mean we should do itGoneWacko wrote:I was trying to give arguments why I think the project is unorganised.
