Umbrello already had a useful website[umbrello-website] when I became project manager, but I tidied it up to make it XHTML compliant (and thus accessible to any web browser) and have added some features to it which enhances its usefulness to people interested in the project.
A "Current Releases" box on the front page gives a quick notification of the latest stable and development versions.
A Developer's Resources page with links to useful information such as the generated documentation from the programme sources, the daily CVS tarball produced by Sourceforge and comments and patches submitted by developers.
The Frequently Asked Questions page has helpful hints to developers and users. I generally put any topic which occurs more than once on the mailing lists onto this page.
The download page contains links to all the latest official and third party packages as well as instructions on checking out the sources from CVS, the complementary install page has instructions for installing including help sent in from users who have solved some problems.
The front page contains a general description of the programme and UML and the project news to let browsers quickly familiarise themselves with Umbrello.
I grant all developers access to the website, but in practice few changes have been made except by myself. Despite this the website is an essential communications tool both with the public and other developers.
