This topic is of interest to all openSUSE contributors, so the choice of mail list. Statistics are important, as they let us know where to focus efforts to improve wiki and distribution. http://en.opensuse.org/Special:PopularPages http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Statistics 1. Main Page (855,498 views) 2. Portal:Distribution (428,440 views) 3. Package repositories (236,467 views) 4. Portal:11.3 (236,428 views) 5. Additional package repositories (226,989 views) 6. Derivatives (222,337 views) 7. SDB:Live USB stick (208,982 views) 8. SDB:Download help (138,494 views) 9. Portal:Documentation (125,758 views) 10. openSUSE:Browse (113,149 views) Main Page (855,498 views) Lead in number of views, but having it as a home page in the browser can create bigger numbers views then actual number of visitors. Never changing page is not the best presentation of wiki and distribution. It doesn't show dynamic of the project which is lately increased few times. Items that never change are used in regular propaganda to bring boredom and force people to migrate elsewhere. The other extreme is too high dynamic of changes that force people to learn basic navigation on every visit and push them to the sites with some predictable elements. I don't know what is absolutely the best, but we can try to have: Left: as is, static list of links - learn once and use many times Center top: very short intro to the project (not necessarily exactly what it is, but catchy few words. Center: news; one to two lines with links to actual articles, images (quality) Right: fast access to the most popular articles which is changing slowly over the time Portal:Distribution (428,440 views) The largest number of visits has page with information about distribution. How people make to this page would be interesting to see how important are links in the Main Page, and how many people used side bar that is available from any page. Package repositories (236,467 views) Obviously people are interested in software, and how to get it. Page is somewhat confusing. It lists repos that are included by default. It has type of repo as basic division (oss, non-oss, debug, source), and openSUSE releases as secondary, while we refer to release as a first in many other places. Using release as base is better as underscores that release should be treated as whole, separate unit, from another release. Portal:11.3 (236,428 views) It looks good. It would be interesting to see how people came to this page. Knowing the path visitors used to find the page should help to improve browsing. Lesser clicks is always wise idea. Additional package repositories (226,989 views) It looks good, but the listing that will list all repos per release would benefit users. It will make life easier for new users that want to add repos to the release at hand. Derivatives (222,337 views) It is interesting how popular is "something different". Sort of the topics is a bit strange, needs some thinking and fitting in the wiki visitor workflow. "Build your own" as a first topic? That should be logical step if you can't find anything that fits you. SDB:Live USB stick (208,982 views) It is obvious that "Live USB stick" is very popular method to install distro. Price drop for USB memory sticks, and no problem booting with recent computers makes them attractive replacement for many users. Problem is that page is quite hard to read after many additions. Improvements should be split between "SUSE Studio Image Writer" for windows, making all iso files hybrid and the article itself. SDB:Download help (138,494 views) It looks good, the only improvement is to give explicit link to http://software.opensuse.org very early on the page. Portal:Documentation (125,758 views) Yes, people look for paperwork to read. It needs a bit of maintenance, otherwise looks good. openSUSE:Browse (113,149 views) Popularity of this page tells that many visitors want overview. They either got lost, think there is something missing. Page should be named "Site map" and openSUSE:Browse should be redirect for compatibility with old-en.opensuse.org. Of course that there is much more material for thoughts below the first 10 pages. For instance: 11. Screenshots (112,501 views) should give very good impression as many are looking there to find out will they install it or not. 16. Wine ( http://en.opensuse.org/Wine ) with 96,705 views, indicates that many users are trying to run windows applications. Migration instructions are on position 160. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_migrate_from_Windows which tells they are not source of information that leads to Wine page. http://en.opensuse.org/Application_equivalents is No. 119. so that is not the source of interest for Wine too. In one word, Windows users have very little help to migrate to openSUSE, and they are the largest group of computer users. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
