After you pointed out, I saw it. Me and Holger missed the link you thought is highlighted. So your intension is not working as expected to some people. TBH, it's in gray area with long sentence, I didn't realize I need to look for one linked word there. I expected to see some footnote/reminder type pointer there. I expected link to doc/ in main list. Gray box should be there as supplemental info so people can be guided. > We also have a link to /doc when you click any of the "More" menu on > the front page. This is true but "More" page is totally irrelevant to our current discussion. People find "User Support" with "Getting help and documentation" in the front page and click into https://www.debian.org/support.en.html to see "help" and "documentation". So discussion is how to lead people reading "support" page to "help" and "documentation". > And if you search for "debian documentation" in a > search engine, you will be directly pointed to the right link. Let me skip arguing on this point. Let's think about consistent web page organization design within current Debian web site. I checked 6 similar pages linked from the main page. ## People Gray box is supplemental information (Not highlighted key information) as: Since many people have asked: Debian is pronounced /ˈde.bi.ən/. It's named after the creator of Debian, Ian Murdock, and his wife, Debra. ## Our Philosophy Gray box has "Social Contract". But more importantly, main text also has link to "Social Contract". By **repeating** in 2 places in a page, "Social Contract" is getting more attention. ## Get Involved, Contribute This is similar situation as "User Support". IMHO, in the section "Contribute", there should be a bulleted line something along "Contribute via sponsor" added to the list to give better idea for readers. ## Why Debian * There are several Gray boxes but their contents are all side story examples. ## User Support * Gray box contain key link embedded in long sentence. * Main text lacks link to doc/ ## Security Updates The gray box is summary statement. Key information links are all in main page. Osamu
