==== Website 2014 ====
  * Must have different subsites:
    * www.drumgizmo.org: This is the main site aimed at the DrumGizmo users
    * developer.drumgizmo.org: This is primarily meant for the development team of DrumGizmo
    * wiki.drumgizmo.org: A wiki containing all sorts of information relevant to the DrumGizmo community

=== www.drumgizmo.org ===
Main website. Contains all functionality relevant for the DrumGizmo users.
  * Front page: News about DrumGizmo, relevant for users
  * About: What is DrumGizmo, explained in a simple language with no unnecessary tech mumbo-jumbo
  * Get DrumGizmo: Download DrumGizmo releases for Linux / Mac / Windows, including git for the adventurous.
  * Forum: Main place for DG users to discuss projects and DrumGizmo in general
  * Drumkit exchange: Allow registered DrumGizmo users to download and upload DG drumkits.

=== Thoughts ===
Should it be a requirement for users to register in order to download drumkits? Registering should be extremely simple.

Drumkits gives a great incentive to register, and afterwards the chances of an active forum is greatly increased. Plus, we can have an opt-in newsletter.
