[opensuse-marketing] Updated welcome?
I think maybe we should look at redisigning the welcome thingamabob. Particularly helpful could be to add the opensuse-guide.org there so that people know it exists. Frankly so much of our resources are so scattered, that a bit of effort to coalesce them would be immensely helpful to new users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

I think you mean www.opensuse.org? Yes very necessary in my eyes.

That should be the main focus. I miss direct links to Twitter, Facebook, Videos, etc. I would also like to see more efforts towards different groups of users. We currently concentrate on new desktop users. I think it should be easier to find Milestones/Betas, Tumbleweed, etc. Additionally the "Discover it" link is not really helping people to understand how to learn more about openSUSE. This is just my quick ideas I have been thinking about since quite a while. I think we should ask for more ideas on opensuse and/or opensuse-project. -- Bye, Stephan Barth SUSE LINUX GmbH - Novell Technical Services GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuremberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

+1 AFAIK a redesign is planned, so I stay tuned... There were also discussions about kicking SUSEGreeter and create a website instead of it. See: https://features.opensuse.org/312754

+1 SUSEGreeter, thats what its called. I think it should be kept... but be made a bit more useful. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Well, I don´t see any reason to keep SUSEGreeter when a website is much more dynamic. BTW, I often make the experience that SUSEGreeter is very slow. This really sucks on virtual machines...

I was actually thinking the thingy that pops up after a fresh install. But the Website could use some redesign. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
