As far as I know the survey is close so it makes sense to remove the link/text from the home page.

Pasky has provided me with write access to git-homepage.git and to test
the setup I have applied this change, which seemed to have been overlooked.

Pasky, maybe you can update git.or.cz and perhaps also remove the link
from the front page of repo.or.cz? :)

Pasky, Jonas,
I cannot enter IRC at the moment so I'm sending here a note with my proposal.

I recently got interested in drupal and I wondered whether it would a
good idea to try to play in a sandbox with a drupal installation and
somehow compare the actual static homepage with an alternative drupal
based portal.

What do you think?

Regards,

  to be honest, I'm kinda sceptical. It's not really clear at all to me
what added value would drupal bring, and there're plenty of downsides
(mainly around various additional maintenance costs) to balance out.

  I probably wouldn't be able to tend for a drupal installation
personally, since I barely get time to maintain even the current
simplistic web page.

  (But it isn't required that *I* run the homepage.  :-) And I certainly
wouldn't want to stifle "innovation".)
