What about some kind of overall color scheme? something like Green = cAos 1 or 2 Red = CentOS 3 Blue = CentOS 2
On the main page, show the latest announcement for each distro with it's color coded icon beside it. These could include errata announcements which are issued more frequently than other distro news (for CentOS 2/3 anyway).
Each distro can then have a color coded info & faq page.
I am in favour of a completely separate website for CentOS , at www.centos.org , obviously linked to the caosity website.
This is the only way IMHO to avoid the current confusion.
Hopefully donavan is ready to start work on it :)
I think another thing we should have is a 'migration centre' which can help people decide what product and procedure to use to upgrade from various distros.
Something along the lines of: RedHat 7.2 -> reinstall with CentOS-2 -> reinstall with CentOS-3.1 -> reinstall with cAos -> live update to CentOS-2 RedHat 9 -> reinstall CentOS-3.1 -> live update to CentOS-3.1 RHEL 2.1 -> live update to CentOS-2 RHEL 3 -> live update to CentOS-3
And I am sure there are more. For each procedure, instructions and pitfalls etc can be listed, perhaps with community feedback etc.
Great idea - just needs someone to put it all together ....

Especially making a bigger difference on the site between cAos and CentOS 3 would be great (the way the site is designed). I also regret to not find any information on google groups about that. It's so sad.. Isn't it possible to post your e-mails to google groups (open a new channel for centos, etc..) ?
In all cases, thank you for all, I'm very pleased to use CentOS 3 and try to make it known by others !
Hope this will help..
