[ Following the newsgroup renaming... ;-) ]
I think most people agree that www.mozilla.org is not as well-organised or
informative as it could be.
1) Many pages are not W3C HTML compliant (and I think this includes the
wrapper)
2) It's very hard to find what you want
3) Important information is missing (web designer docs, end-user docs)
This is because it has grown, rather organically, over the last three
years. The problems with doing something serious about it are as follows:
1) It's a very "big" problem (336Mb, 30,716 files)
2) Different bits of the website are owned by different people
3) Said people are very busy with other things
4) There is currently no grand plan as to how it should look
5) It's in CVS, so it's not quite as easy as moving a few files around
Doing something requires:
1) Working out _what_ to do - having a grand plan
2) Getting permission from all sorts of people to mess with their pages
3) Doing it (labour-intensive)
4) Checking the results (even more labour-intensive)
5) Cleaning up afterwards
I actually have no idea whether this _can_ be done, let alone whether
there are enough people with enough time to do it. However, it can't be
denied that it needs doing.
So, if this is something that matters to you, look at this message as a
"call to arms." Head over to n.p.m.documentation, and we'll throw ideas
around, and work out whether this can be done, and how to do it.
