I work with the maintainer of Symphony and it is still "alive".

Perhaps you could find a volunteer with a little time to just add a list of packages and functions available from the live image to the Web site?

That would help the distro collectors to decide if this is interesting or not.

Distrowatch has a partial list here: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=symphony

Symphony showing up on the front page of HN was a total surprise to me today. As a sole developer my focus right now is on the new build and next month's release. I agree that the site is way to sparse and could be much better (it was thrown together in one evening) but focusing on the site would only take away from the limited time I have available to work on the distro itself. If after the January release I am able to get a few more developers involved I would love to improve the site, documentation and community around the project.

Get a volunteer on it. Someone who wants visibility and to develop some documentation skills. You stay with the main focus. Your HN exposure has convinced me to try the iso!!

Absolutely. Right now I am heads down to get the new rewrite released in January. Then the focus will be back on building the community, bringing on some more volunteer developers and putting together good documentation.
