See attached screenshot with the first draft of the redesign made by Ken Wimer for http://yast.github.io/ It looks much nicer and more modern and it also makes obvious that we need to discuss something about the website's target audience and, thus, the best information structure. Originally it was targeted to developers (with the idea of keeping the user oriented information in the openSUSE wiki). 90% of the content was in the "get involved" page. Even the "modules" section was intended to be specially useful for developers. The front page was there just because we needed one. :-) But then we started to add more "sales" content into the front page, blurring the target a little bit. It's not that bad because is still clear that everything under the "get involved" section is targeted to developers (or contributors in general). In the layout proposed by Ken (it's just a draft), the subsections targeted to developers "getting started", "development documentation" and "processes and guidelines" are at the same level than the rest. It makes sense to make the information more visible at a first glance, not hiding 90% of the content behind the "get involved" link, but in my opinion that also means that we should change the front page content and style to make obvious that it's a developer's portal, not a product page. Unless we want it to be both things (I don't think it makes much sense for us, I would stick to developers as only target). I will meet with Ken to discuss next steps, so I'd like to hear everybody's opinion. Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH
