NO!
The Wiki Page is VERY important. Any Project whether a Software Project or
any kind of a Project needs a good documentation and the Wiki is a
collaboration area where the community could actually document whatever
they need and improve it by time. I have created that area and anyone else
can login with his/her Launchpad account and edit these pages.

The Website will be usefully ONLY for:
1- Windows XP Users
2- Worldwide to spread the word

The Wiki is our base, members of the project and the whole community.

Let's make sure we know these basic things :)

So, I think it is important that we develop the site.

This is WHY I am asking you to keep it as simple as possible :)

Isn't it ironic that amjjawad knows nothing about website programming? :D
I know some HTML stuff but basic (I can deal with blogs for example but
never made a website).

It seems we are talking apples and oranges here.
I was trying to say:
Write the text that will be used so someone else can translate it.
Otherwise, if there is nothing to translate, then it is pointless to ask
for help in this area ;)
