Website Analysis and Design

This is where the discussion of business vision, scope, and user stories will converge into an outline of the website redesign.

proposal by a.l.e

• multilingual (en, de, fr, nl, es, it, pt, ...); how to manage the workflow?
• as little content as possible (the real content should be in wiki.scribus.net and docs.scribus.net)
