Many of us have been saying that bitcoin.org should focus more on the open source project and technical aspects. Let's put those words to the test. I certainly prefer a more apolitical bitcoin.org myself.
Agreed.
bitcoin is an open source software project ...how many other OS project pages do you see with "Press Centers"? The thing was an interesting idea, if a little pretentious, and quickly got turned into a "big microphone" for political hobby horsing ... get rid of it.
Lets' keep bitcoin.org focussed on the s/ware, technical and even avoid financial. Linux.org doesn't have sections on how it is changing the world, yet linux does. bitcoin.org should be completely apolitical, like the s/ware tech. itself .... just covering the full range of clients and technical development in the space is a huge job for such a website already. I'm not even sure it should take upon itself the job of educating newcomers or any kind of public outreach of that nature, since it is easy to link to those efforts.
There is nowhere, except diverse wiki pages, that are concentrating on keeping a solid bank of documentation on the core technology ... this is correctly bitcoin.org mission imho. Provide a framework for development of the tech., everything else is fluffery and can be linked to outside groups.
Edit: if powerful groups start developing alternate clients, wanting to push s/ware changes into the core, etc, as has happened with linux kernel, bitcoin.org is going to have it's hands full just keeping up with that
