This seems like a great plan, we should implement at least the top level very quickly so the website has a new look to go with the new release. -- *--v- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 v--* | | | debian-imac

Deliberate web site reorganization

I'm glad to see this being discussed, as I agree that the home page and the overall menu structure can certainly be improved. I think the proposed RFC design has a bunch of good points, but, when you design (or redesign) something, you need to put the cart before the horse. Are there basic guide

RFC: web site reorganization

There have been a few discussions over the past year about reorganizing the Debian web site. Additionally, a few recent problems with placement of items on the main page have pointed out that we really are in need of some changes. This mail is a RFC on a proposed flowchart. Note the word flowchart

Lagging DSA....
