Yes it looks good to me.
There was one interesting thing written that raises a question, but I
will start a new thread for that as it more relates to where the
projects go.

Hi Mesar and Michael
Your posts are very timely as the new site is basically finished. I'm
very happy with it and I think it is really cool. Look at
http://liblouis.github.io
It is 100% static and can be edited off-line with any editor you wish.
All the content is in plain text (textile but you can also use
markdown). Naturally you can use images, tables, etc (but all in plain
text). It includes the news, on-line documentation, the tar balls and
a section with links to the various code repos, issue trackers and
related projects. So for example to upload a new release just add a
file with the news entry, add the tar ball and update the downloads
page (all locally). Then commit and push. That's it. Github has some
post-commit hooks that will generate the HTML from the plain text,
update the site and serve it. Brilliant!
The great thing is that this is a web site for both liblouis and
liblouisutdml with links to BrailleBlaster. It is entirely static, so
if Github ever decides to drop support for Github Pages it's easy to
move away, so we are in no way locked in.
Also it is done using the Twitter Bootstrap CSS, so it should look
good on a desktop, tablet or phone.
We could in theory also redirect our domain liblouis.org to this site,
which would probably wise from a security point of view, but this is
optional.

Will the website that you create enable us to do accessable bug
tracking?
No bug tracking is not included. The site is entirely static. There
are links to the existing bug trackers.
What were your reasons for not wishing to go with it?
I really like the idea of a generated static web site that I can edit
locally.
This means that anyone that has commit access could help with
updating/improving any
documentation that we might place on the website/ship with liblouis.
Anyone can fork the repo for
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis.github.io and improve it. If the
stuff is good we'll give them commit access.
Thanks
Christian
