Also Dite (BitSapphire) gave me access to at least forum theme folders via FTP .. so i'll able to work on the theming ... once UI etc is published ...

valzav maintains the faucet; if something is broken probably fastest to PM him.

@vikram (does paging work?)
Need help? Read How to Register a BitShares Account
don't think so. you have to auth with social networks, so it's probably too hard to set up.
Any chance we could get a link somewhere to the original "BitShares - A Peer To Peer Polymorphic Digital Asset Exchange" paper? I'd like to read it again, but the only link that I could find is a dead one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=313873.0Thanks!
If anyone wants to collect old content I can see about creating a general Archive section or something at some point. But for the time being most legacy content is low priority for me.Dan or Stan might have copies of some of the old documents/papers.

The docs dot bitshares subdomain is gone, if nothing else at least redirect the whitepapers to their new home as that is something many Internet sites have active links for.All nullstreet journal newsletter pdf links are broken, are they removed or have they been relocated... link?

The forum software is managed by bitsaffire I think? So maybe it's not possible.

No RSS feed for blog posts?
how do you intend to attract savers? Like people looking for a secure interest bearing investment? If there's a way you should highlight this

Github link now redirects to the old bitshares.org page? I really love the new design and information structuring, bring it back!
Big Money audience: "industrial-grade financial smart contract platform" is a great hook.Top line of links/puffs though I would have thought should be "Decentralized Asset Exchange"; "High Performance and Scalability"; "Collateralized Bond Market". I don't know but whatever will ensure that the key audience is hooked.. they may not scroll down that webpage that looks like every other webpage unless there are enough hooks on first glance.
Quote from: vikram on June 09, 2015, 10:28:17 pmWe hadn't planned on it, as the site is focusing on BitShares as a smart contract platform with many features, not just the exchange feature.Smart contracts are not even on the website, are they?

Also, I wonder if there are opportunities to make statements from partners and players in FinTech - ones that lend credibility.. "BitShares 2.0 made me say 'Wow' - Janet Yellen." etc.Perhaps more important than our opinion, is getting the reaction of those new investors you want to engage.. test the water with a few big players who might be intrigued - Barclay's blockchain accelerator and others who are up to speed - and see if that website answers all their questions and perhaps get quotes on the back of their feedback.I'd replace "Email me when it's ready" to subscribe for alerts and progress updates.. and then keep those interested engaged over time.and later perhaps integrate the wallet or a demo video. Different people like different methods of communication. The walls of text perhaps need "quotations" in bold that shout out the tldr; .. but there is a lot of content which is great for those with the time to read it.
Will an asset price ticker or some kind of price information be on the home page to help reinforce that this is an actual exchange?
What's the reason you guys chose to move the website to github hosting?
