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 table layout is really rough, and feels like a 'knockoff' of the new opensuse.org home page:
http://paste.opensuse.org/52857888
And with that, I shall threadjack.
I feel like there needs to be more holistic thinking about the web content. For example, "Install Tumbleweed" link on the homepage links to the wiki,
And from here I shall threadjack further, thanks for reminding me that this was going to be one of my hackweek projects https://hackweek.suse.com/14/projects/1492 why don't we move the more general discussion of web things that can be easily improved there.
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation
which is now redundant to
https://software.opensuse.org/newsite/tumbleweed/
although the 'new' page misses a lot of content - like 32-bit, PowerPC, and live images. We already have a 64-bit only distro in Leap; I can't agree with pushing the 1-arch-to-rule-them-all in Tumbleweed as well.
(I guess at least you've solved the issue of software.o.o pointing people to yet another Tumbleweed wiki page.)
IMO, I'd like to see the 'new' Tumbleweed, Leap, and Testing pages become part of opensuse.org, with _all_ the viable options presented, and leave software.opensuse.org to finding software.
