1. gnome.org subsites
This document deals with the partitioning of the GNOME websites & subsites. It has two parts, the first one being a consolidated map of official sites and subsites, and the second a complete listing of GNOME official sites, dead or alive.
This document combined with the GnomeWeb/WgoScope define which GnomeWeb/UseCases are completely solved within www.gnome.org and in which sites are resolved all the rest. The map of official sites is also used to define the GnomeWeb/Navigation. See also Important Websites.
2. GNOME websites map
2.1. gnome.org subsites
A map of GNOME subsites will be placed somewhere at www.gnome.org. Here we define which subsites can be linked from that map. Implementation details such as sections, sorting, text descriptions or design will be discussed later.
The list will be refined as far as we approach the 2.18 release and the sites accomplish the (today only proposed) guidelines.

2.3. Regional sites
These sites should not be the translated versions of wgo but real local websites with own content. The names should probably be in English and the original language/writing (see also GnomeWeb/RegionalSites )
Most of the sites are outdated, they should at least clean the homepage to qualify for being listed at wgo

2.5. When a site should be listed here
Let's agree in the conditions to become a subsite directly promoted at www.gnome.org
- It is an official GNOME site.
- Exception: we might list sites of projects in which GNOME has a key role but they must be visibly differentiated
- It has identity on its own, it's not just a priviledged section of another site
- It is and updated, living site
- It follows the basic design guidelines:
- gnome.org subsites must have the common GNOME navigation bar
- Regional sites with own domain need to be maintained by a recognized GNOME group and feature the official GNOME logo with a link to wgo
- Other sites with own domain need to be related to a recognized GNOME project and feature the official GNOME logo with a link to wgo
- It has a homepage friendly to first time users jumping from wgo
- Product websites/subsites won't be listed here since they have the GNOME Products page. Probably a link to projects.gnome.org (currently wgo/projects) will do
3. Full list of sites

No particular order, needs reviewing, and affiliation info (who runs it). Tries to be exhaustive.

3.2. Regional sites
Local websites (domain-alphabetical order). They are responsibility of the UserGroups, not the GNOME Foundation.
http://www.gnomebangalore.org/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://bg.gnome.org forwards to http://gnome.cult.bg/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://br.gnome.org/ [hosted on Gnome machines]
http://www.gnome.cl/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://www.gnome-ev.de/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://planet.gnome-ev.de/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://es.gnome.org/ [unmaintaned?] and http://www.gnomehispano.org [brand new site, in its early stages]
http://fr.gnome.org/ (alias of http://www.gnomefr.org/ and http://www.gnome.fr/) [hosted on Gnome machines]

http://it.gnome.org/ [hosted elsewhere, under reworking]
http://gnome.or.kr/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://gnome.org.ru/ [hosted elsewhere]
http://www.gnome.se/ [hosted elsewhere]
3.3. Software sites
Should we start listing also the sites of GNOME applications. They are also managed semi-independently, some are hosted in the GNOME servers, some elsewhere, some are clearly official, some are unclear, some are updated, some outdated... but all of them affect the image of GNOME and gnome.org
See http://www.gnome.org/projects/ , this is what we have got by now. See also GnomeWeb/GnomeProducts
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/ - Perl bindings
http://www.pygtk.org/ - Python bindings
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/ - Java bindings
http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/ -- has a WGO URL, but looks like a separate mini-site.
3.4. NOT GNOME
Third party sites that are not part of the GNOME project. To avoid confusion.
3.5. Other
List here a website if you are not sure to which category belongs to.
http://irc.gnome.org - not web, only IRC server redirect
