 - a clear difference between developer and gamer related webpages, so
   that one can go to the page and just download and play the game,
   without figuring out first, what all the million downloadable files
   mean

 - description of the game itself should be completly rewritten and
   should be independet of Lemmings, currently we just say 'a lemmings
   clone', which means nothing to somebody who hasn't played lemmings

 - the page should tell cleary that this in an open project, why
   people can and should contribute, see also:

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=612&group_id=2184

 - clear difference between the GNU/Linux and the Win32 versions in
   the download area, a simple table might work here. The currently
   download page contains simply far to much info. Source versions
   should be on a seperate page.

 - a much more detailed game intro should be provided and a real game
   manuell, see:

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=667&group_id=2184

 - the look of the page should be similar to the game, the
   http://pingus.seul.org/redesign should only be taken as a
   prototype, button images should be redesigned.

 - contact and bug-tracking addresses might need to become more
   obvious, mailing everything to pingus-devel could be a good idea,
   something like:
   "mailto:address@hidden: [Pingus Support Request]"

   Even so a seperate mailing-list (pingus-users, pingus-support?!)
   could be a good idea, since it might be hard to figure out if
   people are subscribted to the list or need a CC if the subject of
   the mail is changed.
 
 - in general I want the page to be easy to understand by newbees, but
   also to make it easy for contributors to find what they are looking
   for.
