[maemo-community] Fwd: Re: Site Proposal

[From: Tim]

Hi (top post),

As per the documentation that already exists on the wiki, I don't
feel like we need to force the designers to back up what they're doing
in text-form. But, that's just mho, of course.

Re: Further development of homepage... That's fine, as long as you
guys are comfortable with further pushing the deadline. Honestly, I'm
not necessarily stuck on any one design (nor, do I think, the
designers are). But, we did make a big deal about getting this
completed as quickly as possible.

So... As Andre and I discussed the next steps of the design process:
once a design is chosen, the next tasks would be delegated to Glaubert
(e.g., production aspects of converting it to an actual website). So,
maybe we should begin this process by asking Glaubert to take Andre's
current design and integrate some of his "better" features into it...?
What I mean is, is that our next steps would be to outline the changes
we'd like to see in Andre's design and ask Glaubert to implement them.

These
are really just early morning questions, so I'd love to get
Andre's and Glaubert's opinions as well as Andrew's and Dave's.

Oooh - this one snuck back in...

I had intended to have one page for "user" documentation ("Get help?"
pointing to Support) and one
page for "developer" documentation (from
the Development page). So I'd actually like to replace a
"Documentation"
link with a more general "Support" link. which would then be a direct
duplicate of the "Get help?" bubble (with the difference that it
would
be available all the time, and not just on the front page).

I'm unclear what Documentation will point at, and whether this will
need
to be yet another filter page to guide people through the various
mazes
of docs that exist.

Opinions?

Bugzilla is a developer resource, and a resource for getting help.
It's
thus included in both.

Yes - points to Community.

>    * Get Help (bugzilla?) - again, see above.

"Get help" is much more than Bugzilla - it will point to the Support
page (proposal for content, in need of feedback,
here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving_maemo.org/Support)

These links do not relate to the top menu.

>    * People (how is this distinct from community)

It's dynamic content taken from community - in the same way as the
highlighted applications are dynamic content taken from Downloads,
and
the news is dynamic content taken from News.

Cheers,
Dave.
