Hi Pavlov!
We hoped also that the tide of the "bloated info" came back during these latest 10 years...and we didn't have any luck :) Otherwise we wouldn't have spent too much work on the new ReactOS website.
We've replaced the "Screenshot" to a "Gallery" link, which I personally think it is much better. Try to find the "Gallery" in the older one ;)
Legal links are coming, but to mention some we've added a legal link needed by the German Law (that we didn't include in the past).
For us sadly asking people to join us is not "gratuitous" but a serious need as we don't have any support of companies. We're the first ones willing to remove the "Help us fundraising", "Join us"...but sadly we're probably one of the biggest open source projects out there without any kind of support but the Community one.
Btw, it is planed to create a "hide the slideshow" via button or once registered.
On the other hand, the current information quality ranges from newbies to high skilled developers, while the old information one was just focused to (and understandable by) developers. Density is not synonym of quality, and our old site had tons of info and pages duplicated, with some of them just reachable through one link. The new site pretends to ease the contact for newcomers while greatly increase the level of the info as you move deeper. The fact is that the new site links to more Wiki articles, and have more info than the old one. Stats say!Just under its proper category.
Thanks for your feedback.
