The website hasn't seen a major change in roughly a year. Does our current layout still work? Anything to change?

Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details.

=== Migration ===

Include:
 * data migration, if any
 * redirects from old URLs to new ones, if any
 * how users will be pointed to the new way of doing things, if necessary.

== Test/Demo Plan ==

It's important that we are able to test new features, and demonstrate them to users. Use this section to describe a short plan that anybody can follow that demonstrates the feature is working. This can then be used during testing, and to show off after release. Please add an entry to http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Coverage/NewFeatures for tracking test coverage.

This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.

== Unresolved issues ==

This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.

== BoF agenda and discussion ==

Use this section to take notes during the BoF; if you keep it in the approved spec, use it for summarising what was discussed and note any options that were rejected.
 Code in lp:~kubuntu-website/kubuntu-website/kubuntu-theme-v2 for appearance
Code in lp:~kubuntu-website/kubuntu-website/kubuntu-screenshot-viewer for screenshot module.
=== Text Changes ===
 * Text on wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu should be replaced with something interesting.
