Hello, I am looking at http://wptest.gnome.org/. There has been a huge work done since last time I looked at it, wow! Here are a few quick comments,
In the front page, *For more GNOME news: *I would not point at planet.go in first place, especially for people discovering GNOME it might be confusing. I see planet.go more as "the voice of the community" than a news feed for everybody. Maybe we should point at twitter feed or the whole archive of the main page news, or? On the bottom links, *The GNOME project *I would rename "teams" to "The GNOME Community" the same way as "The GNOME Foundation". It would include also the people's map, traditional meetings (confs, hackfest), the https://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct, link to planet.go etc. So it is more *people* oriented than just a team list. *Products *I would rename "Applications" to "GNOME Applications" *Products / GNOME is free software *I would add a link to a page "GNOME is free software". The page would explain what is free software, link to GPL, LGPL and source code. *Resources *Wikis are used for so many things, I would rename "wiki" to "Live documentation (wiki)" I would rename "Code hosting" to "[Browse ]GNOME source code" I would not link to jhbuild, this is pretty hot for a high level entry. *Resources / User support *It think there should be a top level entry, in first place, for users only: "User support". I am a user, I am lost on jhbuild page, where should I go? Documentation, forums, ml, irc, bug reports, etc. The GNOME support portal [1], and the GNOME support Forums [2] are doing a pretty good job here too. [1] http://gnomesupport.org/ [2] http://gnomesupport.org/forums/ I am not sure who is behind and what is the relation between gnome and gnomesupport though i think they should work hand in hand (or foot in foot?) *News *overall I feel it is missing a place for general news on gnome. Another source for news is footnotes (http://gnomedesktop.org/) which used to do a pretty good job, though seems a bit down recently. Again, foot in foot work would be great! I would put identi.ca and twitter on the same line, as the content is identi.cal: "GNOME tweets at identi.ca or twitter" *On the language selection: *It is pretty neat :) though I feel it non obvious. map = language? is click-able? I found it by chance. Isn't it all the opposite of GNOME design philosophy? An arrow down would help. Or why not just a simple permanent language list? Another idea: why not keep this "underground" for developer resource links? And use the grassy middle ground for users, partners and press? (the separation line could be more like grass/soil with little stones and roots) * GNOME 3.0 Desktop* http://wptest.gnome.org/desktop/ I would simplify the first sentence as "Get things done with ease, comfort and control" *<P>aragraphs in general *would be much easier to read if line's width would be much shorter (like in newspapers!) therefore organizing paragraphs in columns or boxes. For example: http://wptest.gnome.org/get-involved/ I could make a more thorough review and also help on content if you like.
