Our community is oddly troll-resistant. I think they'd rather ignore it
than fight. And it is holiday season, after all. Apparently, I'm the
only one stuck at home, working.
Habari currently falls into a weird niche, where its users need not know
why all the underlying code works, but they're likely to need to roll up
their sleeves a bit and get their hands dirty. As you've noticed,
Habari can be rough for someone who knows nothing about running blogs or
code or HTML, because it fits in that niche. It's most likely that it
remains there because it's difficult for its developers to step back far
enough to realize what they need to explain to the common person
installing it.
That said, it would be lovely to have someone on the front side working
to discover and implement (or pass on to developers for implementation)
what features/services would please common end-users.
A good portion of the issues you've described have to do with our
woefully incomplete addons directory, which is meant to house plugins
and themes. This will supplant the wiki and other listings as the
primary source of addons.
I'm happy to work with someone who is interested in enhancing Habari's
user-facing image, though my time is primarily spent in the coding
trenches, building Habari and using it for paying client work. If you
had some immediate action items that you think we could execute on to
hopefully increase novice user adoption, I'll help as I can, and I'm
sure other people would, too.
