Excellent :-)
I've been working on getting get-o-o into a page that helps people understand the distributions, not just download them.
Definitely a good idea! I'm just wondering: What's the difference between https://get.opensuse.org/ and the download pages on https://software.opensuse.org (referenced from our main website opensuse.org)? Shouldn't one of them be replaced by the other one?
I became kinda worried, albeit inspired, that we were going into the wrong direction after microos.opensuse.org became a thing.
So on a separate branch I started revamping some of it to better represent the distros by themselves: https://github.com/openSUSE/get-o-o/tree/hellcp/revamp
I really like that, I always found it confusing to have MicroOS and Kubic as part of the Tumbleweed download without any further explanation.
And this is what it currently looks like (it's highly subject to change depending on discussions):
Kubic Overview https://i.imgur.com/py0pbuH.png Kubic Downloads https://i.imgur.com/xmsG91V.png MicroOS Overview https://i.imgur.com/MjZQAlB.png MicroOS Downloads https://i.imgur.com/OymKYR4.png
I really like that we have a dedicated download site instead of a link to a Wiki page. However there will have to be a reference to the Ignition / Combustion / cloud-init documentation, as all of the images will require configuration - just providing the image file itself will probably lead to frustration if the users don't know how to use them...
I do want to also have a set of points for Kubic (and Leap), but I haven't gotten around to adding them> Some people indicated to me that while this style of download may work perfectly fine for Tumbleweed and Leap, it's gonna be (and visibly already is) a nightmare for Kubic and MicroOS. There are a few ways I'm considering fixing it, but I still would appreciate feedback if you have any.
At the end of the day I want those pages to function as a combination (and replacement) of Portal:$distribution pages, the current get.opensuse.org pages as well as marketing material, informing the user of what the point is to begin with, and so we have single clear place for informing the users of everything that goes on with the distributions without having 10 different places for it.
So the plan is to get rid of both https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS and https://microos.opensuse.org/ (same for Kubic) and put all information onto the download page? Cheers, Ignaz
