Making websites for gnome-apps sexier



I dare to claim that the websites for various gnome-apps needs to get sexier. Right now it's a bit hard to find information on how to start hacking on your favorite gnome-app. This might lead to people intersted in contributing to a project, don't have a clue where to look. Some projects have websites on www.gnome.org/projects/, some of them are nice (the evolution site is fantastic), but some are really unmaintained and are in desperate need of updates (like the nautilus website and the one for g-conf).
The other day I came across the new gedit website 
(www.gnome.org/projects/gedit) and it was really nice.
It included how to get the software both via ftp and via CVS for those 
interested in hacking. It also included some nice screenshots and a 
short description of the software.
I also discovered that it was really easy to alter the gedit-site to 
make it fit for other projects and gave the nautilus website a try...se 
here for my results: http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/nautilus. Hopefully 
it will be up on the main site in a couple of days.
So, in order to make it easier for new contributors, I suggest that a 
lookover of the sites in www.gnome.org/projects and that sites that not 
look that good gets this small facelift.
I volunteer to make some of the work, but hopefully someone else are 
willing to do some work too. It's really easy anyone with some knowledge 
of html and it'll take a couple of hours for each project, tops.
