As you know, i am a teacher in "IUT de Saint Martin d'Hères.(France)"
An IUT is like a school.
This is not a company, but like a company, human problems are importants:

http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/kicad/ (and 
http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/ for download files) is my main 
site because it is an official site in the IUT,
and Kicad *must* be hosted here (I use it at work).
There is on this serveur only stable and full versions , and it is also 
used by my students (in fact kicad was written for them).
This site is easy to maintain for me and this is the prefered 
"personnal" site.

As a teacher in IUT, i am also at a researcher at LIS now called GIPSA 
(this is a research laoboratory)
http://www.gipsa-lab.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/ is the official GIPSA 
site for kicad.
This is not a server, there is here just a Web page.

You must consider these 2 sites as a part of my work:
just like a company must have an official site, even if it also use a 
sourceforge site.

The last site:
http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/ is an obsolete site but i 
have no control on it.

http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki is useful because volunteers can work 
on it.
No problems to have official releases and snapshots on sourceforge, but 
a volunteer is needed to maintain them (i cannot make all the work).
Mainly, this also involves info updates on sourceforge pages.
I know there are volunteers.

These differents sites on sourceforge were created by volunteers, not by 
me (this is not a problem for me, just the proof kicad has some 
enthusiasts users).
So i do not intend to remove or change these sites.
These volunteers must work together.
But once again, i cannot make all the work

Just guys who created this sites must be aware the links to "my official 
site" or "author's site" must be
http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/kicad/

Specially on kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki i am unable to edit the "english 
Kicad homepage", and the obsolete link must be updated
