Hello,

I'm watching this list because I reported a website-defect quite some
time ago and stayed on the list because it is very low-volume and find
this discussion both interesting and important.

I strongly second both points from Carlos.

And I will further share my opinions and thoughts on this discussion
when I find time to do so, maybe at the weekend.

In short:
- The Firebird-site should definitely switch to a CMS that supports
Firebird as a backend, for (at least to me) obvious reasons.
- There should be an "official" forum, because many people don't know
how to use or don't want to use mailing-lists.
- Firebird needs a more appealing website to attract potential users.
Users judge the quality of a product by the website to quite a large
degree.

Regards,

Daniel Albuschat
