RE: [SLE] Comments Please? New Linux Site.
- From: Jostein Berntsen <jostber@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
It looks nice and it seems that both functionality and design has been taken
care of. A couple of things could be nice to have there:
- It should be a page with About info with information on you and the missions
for the site as well as the actions that will occur there. Important is to
emphasize interactivity, news and community features if it exist. There are
many Linux sites on the web, does this have an unique mission/vision? Is it
only migration from Win or is it more?
- Is it a living or a static site? If the first, put words like news, updated,
products and other on the front page.
- Many users comes to sites looking for information and news, others come for
tutorials, reviews and applications. What can this site give to the user?
Just some thoughts, hope it might be helpful as input.
