* One of my personal goals for this redesign is to give more visibility to community resources. Over the last 6 years, we've had a number of unofficial projects come and done great service for the community -- django people, several packaging indices, and so on. However, many of these projects have died on the vine. I suspect one of the reasons that these projects has died is that they've never really been considered first class members of the community, and so it's mentally easy to abandon them rather than seeking to hand them off to a new maintainer. The only place I can see in Giovanni's design for this sort of community content would be to bury it in the footer, or on a separate part of the community page.
I came to Django from the Rails community and while I prefer Django over Rails one thing I was disappointed with on arrival was I didn't know "where" the Django community was, still not sure I do. Maybe the django community is quiter than the Rails community is, but if I didn't actively scour the internet I would think the community is dead which is one of my evaluations of using a technology.
my 2 cents on the community aspect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
