in advance: can you please fix your email client's wrapping? It's really hard to read your emails.
I guess having 79 characters per line doesn't work too well, changed it to 72
Thanks, much better now.
Hm, that whole story is a bit frustrating to be honest.
I haven't seen the mockups yet you mentioned earlier in this thread. So I had to start somewhere out of the blue which is quite pointless when there are things around being already half finished.
But now you're coming around the corner with a 90% copy of the current landing page. All in all you gave it different fonts and made the colours more eye burning but kept the unclear overall structure.
Attribute the eye burning colours to the awful colour palette openSUSE has, which instead of enabling more interesting designs causes everything to way too bright
The worst part is that this is how the colours were supposed to be used, despite not being fit for the purpose (at least that's how they appear to be used in marketing materials).
So why not unclutter it and use one or two main colors? It's not like we have you use every tone given from the palette as if it was the holy grail.
Eh, this particular green gets worse the darker it gets, it's certainly less eye burning, but that's not helping it look any better.
And despite the fact that it is a 90% of the current landing page, it fixes all the issues that the current page has in my opinion: * Links more to external resources instead of relying on the landing page itself (software-o-o already explains the differences between distributions, why duplicate, news-o-o already has all the news, why duplicate, contributions page will have all the details about contributing, why duplicate)
Sending people from A to B to C with always different layouts. That is so wrong. I'd prefer any duplication instead of this navigation mess.
All of those places do, or already have plans to move to new navigation bar/footer with chameleon migration (except OSEM), It's the same navigation for this very reason. We certainly can't avoid not linking elsewhere, so why not link everything externally, especially since that's where the content already is.
* Gives more space to projects other than distributions * References to openSUSE as us, not them * Mentions community more
If we want to fix the way openSUSE Distributions are presented to people, we should need to do it in one place, not two or three (there is also some stuff on the wiki after all).
Please re-read your first bullet point. You're dissenting with yourself here now.
Nope, I'm repeating myself, I want one place with all the basic information you need on distributions, without the need to edit many of them to fit the current state. So moving everything to software-o-o seems like the most sensible way to do it.
Wait until when? Settling the foundation alone will take up to 6 months. But even leaving it out there's still not a single date or time span for logo and renaming around at all. Which means it will take 2-3 months at minimum until there is any final decision in sight.
That aside: changing color codes and switching logos is no rocket science.
It isn't, but I would hope all of this would be tied together. It's just a few years at most, we can wait :P
We agreed on the overall web presence being at best not satisfying. So why wait until the tasks are stacked?
We can already fix a bulk of it by forming a plan for fixing software-o-o's presentation of distributions, cleaning up wiki from useless stuff that is already said in other places, fixing OSEM to use the same navigation as existing openSUSE websites, stuff that might not be related to the main site at this moment, but would make navigating between websites easier and more informational.
