[opensuse] openSUSE merits a better home page
openSUSE merits a better home page than the current one [https://www.opensuse.org/] A recent article in Linux.com [4] explains << Initially openSUSE’s mission statement was to “encourage use of Linux & Open Source everywhere.” But, that’s no longer the heart and soul of openSUSE. OpenSUSE has evolved beyond just a Linux distribution project. They now cater to a totally different audience -- developers and sysadmins. So, openSUSE board members drafted a new mission statement: “Openly engineered tools to change your world.” ... >> << “... What we do essentially is engineering - we help in building packages, we help in testing and we help in delivering them. We care about the process.” said Brown. “At the same time everything that we do is a tool, OpenQA is a testing tool, OBS is a packaging tool, YaST is system management tool, even our distributions Leap and Tumbleweed are tools.” >> Now that openSUSE recognizes that it's main audience is a world of developers and sysadmins, the home page should show this with a style suitable for developers and sysadmins. The home page should be precise and unashamedly technical with just sufficient graphics; no twirling logos, no large pastel coloured rectangles. The home page should also be a tool, providing a crisp statement from the Chairman of the Board on why openSUSE+Yast is the best distribution of them all, and clear links to all the other tools from the top of the page. See Debian [1], DNS24 [2] and openBSD [3] for succinct examples of what can be done.
