Hi Thomas,
I already provided one of the links in my e-mail. Upon closer
inspection, it's the only link that didn't make it. I have an old
checkout here of the Jekyll frontpage, where there was a direct
'Development' link to text containing how to submit patches. It is a
pity to see that buried under a generic 'Documentation' > 'Developer' >
'Submitting patches'. It took one click before, now takes three, yet
it's one of the most important things for a project like this.
Stuff like this should be easy to find, if people don't know their way
around the homepage and only find it with a lot of digging, that means
it's very well hidden. More importantly, it means they just might say
'F it'. I just saw now there's also a link in the text body of the home
page, but that only adds to my point: such a link should be visible and
intuitive; at this point, it is not.
Thanks for considering this.
Stijn
P.S. Please use 'reply all' :-)

Hi guys,
I find the new frontpage to be rather messy compared to the old
Jekyll setup before. It had a ton of 'quick links' up top, which may
have looked a bit dense, but it did allow efficient access to crucial
information for possible contributors.
Someone was looking for info on how to send in patches (quite
essential, if you ask me :P ) and he didn't find the info. Neither
did I at first, I really had to dig and come up with this:
https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/the-source-code
Can we get some of those old links back on the front page?
Thanks!
Stijn
