Hi all, In advance of Thursdays openSUSE Conference Workshop on the topic[1], I'd like to share with you all what I've been working on for replacing/improving software.opensuse.org My main goals have been to reduce the technical complexity of the current page (which often struggles under the heavy load of release days) while also doing a much better job of reflecting the offerings provided by the opensuse project and providing clearer help to users. You can see the current progress at https://software.opensuse.org/newsite/ The page is built using Jekyll, you can find the source at https://github.com/sysrich/new-software.o.o This email is a 'RFC' in two senses - not only am I keen to see Comments on the progress so far, but I would greatly appreciate Commits to improve what I have so far before this goes into production. The main thing that is desperately needed before I feel this new site is viable as a replacement for software.opensuse.org is a translation solution. I have been evaluating Polyglot [2] which seems to be a viable solution, but due to limited time and an inability to translate any other language, I would really like help getting it implemented. You may notice the absence of the software search (besides the link in the top right hand corner). This is intentional. Attendees to the openSUSE conference can see my talk on Saturday at 11:00 [3] to understand why I think we should be de-emphasising the software search, and in addition to my personal opinion I am hopeful that Thursdays workshop will open doors to other solutions to the problems with the current package search. Looking forward to what everyone things, happy hacking - Richard [1] https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSC16/program/proposal/788 [2] https://untra.github.io/polyglot/ [3] https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSC16/program/proposal/958 -- Richard Brown openSUSE Chairman Phone +4991174053-361 SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
