A timeline approach would work well, I think. beuno and I discussed how that might work last week. The page already has many different timelines (latest bugs, latest blueprints etc). These could be collapsed into one timeline (although, oi, the query!). I don't think the current project page design is good for a newcomer to the project. For downloading a file, it's great. For getting involved, less so. When you say "someone who wants an overview of the project activity", who do you mean? It sounds specific, and I don't think I've ever had that use-case before. I think an interesting question about the project page is this: If we had wiki / web-hosting, how would this page be different? I'm still chewing over the answer. jml _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
