First of all: Thank you Frans for the feedback. > Have you read any of the earlier discussions on this subject in the list > archives for debian-www? Yes. > Your description is extremely broad and general Yes. It is a skeleton yet. > and looks to be aiming at a complete > reimplementation of the website and the wiki using a CMS. It is just the anaysis and some design, not the implementation. Please, keep reading. I think that there are lots of potential Debian users who don't make the switch just because they don't feel comfortable with its current web face. A web face that (IMHO) doesn't show them all of the resources they would have available if they use Debian. I am not the only one who thinks that there are problems regarding Debian's web face. This issue has been adressed by two candidates for this year's DPL election (both Gustavo Franco's[0] and Sam Hocevar's[1] plattforms mention it). Besides, Joey Hess mentions it into his anti-platform[2]). It's up to you (the debian-www team) to decide whether some changes (and which ones) are necessary into Debian websites in order to make Debian more attractive for newbies. My contribution to that would be a set of **suggestions** about it (and how to implement it). That's what I intend to accomplish in three months. The implementation (if any) would come after. But, if you can get a set of documents that could tell you -what could be wrong about your work; and -a possible way of improving, I think you have nothing to loose and everything to win. Regardless of whether you decide do it or not. > Cheers, Regards, Leandro [0] Gustavo Franco's Platform: http://www.debian.org/vote/2007/platforms/stratus [1] Sam Hocevar's Platform: http://www.debian.org/vote/2007/platforms/sho [2]: Joey Hess' Anti Platform: http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/my_anti-platform.html PS: As soon as I improve the skeleton of my proposal, I'll let you know. ________________________________________________ VHCS Webmail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
