On Nov 3rd, we'll be presenting an application to NLnet for further development of coop cloud tooling. The website should be up to date for that process.

There's been a lot of work done to modernize the website over at https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/new-website-jekyll-theme . There's still a few blocking issues before that site can go live. For the time being, I've brought over a few ideas from the new website (especially the structure of the homepage), copied some data from our wiki, imported some READMEs from gitea, added some elements that people have been asking about (like making our managed hosting providers more prominent), and frankensteined together a landing page that gets readers to the important information as quickly as possible.

In the medium-term, the goal would be to move these pages to the new site as well.

Drastically Shrink Homepage 8c7057c5a3

Following [Sutty's
format](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/new-website-jekyll-theme),
 replace the out-of-date intro
 with two simple links.

Also added a "managed hosting" link in the footer,
 due to popular demand

quick-and-dirty Managed Hosting page 0b8c1a95fa

Copying info from [the wiki](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/managed/)
 into a slightly nicer-looking table.

The wiki page should be removed after this is merged.

Write evergreen copy 491f4451ce

Several pages are accessible from the homepage,
 and contain generic information which rarely changes.
 This commit copies information from:
  - https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/proposals/federation/
  - https://git.coopcloud.tech
  - https://docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/managed/

Update Community Description 7f5b9c833f

I couldn't find anything in the existing docs,
 so I added some of my own words here.

Also! I would really like to import the cloud_srv.svg image from the new website, and render it next to the homepage blurb (when the screen is wide enough). But the svg doesn't render correctly in tags. We could ignore that and add it later, or we could just use hero-server.svg. But I think the site would look a lot better if we include the new picture.

Amazing @amras, I heavily riffed off of this and have pushed some changes. Sorry to do this all fast and shit, nothing is set in stone on my side and everything can be edited once more. I think we have improved teh site. I'm sharing my insights into the copy in the new website channel. Let's merge this shit 💣
