I think some of this information can be obtained from webalizer reports, which are at http://klecker.debian.org/webalizer/www.debian.org/ > How does the web group work with other groups such as the documentation > team and the security team? Well, we get along ;) What exactly do you want to know? > The first thing that caught my attention was the layout of the main > documentation page. How should that be handled? The DDP, i.e. the debian-doc list, is primarily responsible for the /doc/ddp web page, and most of the stuff that's linked from there. The security team is supposedly responsible for the /security/ pages but in fact they just supply the data and us web people make it into web pages (it just so happens that a security officer is also a web editor so this usually works perfectly). The stuff on the security.debian.org server is theirs, too, we just link to it. > When I write the report(s) should I make sure it gets copied to their > mailing list? Depends on what's the issue... Try to avoid mass cross posting, that tends to become a mess. You might want to post to -www first so we can determine what's for -www and what is not, and then you can post elsewhere. > Is it a problem to give you an organized list of issues rather than > individual bug reports?

That which causes joy or happiness.
