Here you go...
- Get rid of the frames. These screw up a lot of stuff:
1. It screws up google results. E.g. googling for "openscenegraph
stereo" given me a top hit titled "OSGWiki - UserGuides.StereoSettings",
which sounds pretty good given the query. When I click the url the
correct wiki page is loaded without frames, but then gets reloaded after
a second WITH frames but with the OSG main page as content. This renders
google hits virtually useless.
2. Some links to external pages such as projects/products using OSG are
loaded within the content frame. E.g. Documentation -> User Guides ->
Blender (last one under "modelling packages")
3. You can't copy a handy url to save it, as it's always the same.
Therefore, bookmarking doesn't work.
- Please switch wiki's, this one sucks. Take something like mediawiki or
trac. Mediawiki has the nice feature of having discussion pages for all
wiki pages, where users can place comments on a page without polluting
the actual page text. It also provides fairly good search facilities,
categories for pages and good structuring of documents into sections. I
use it at work and like it. See http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
for what you can do with a little CSS and other customization.
Trac is nice because of its integrated svn and bug tracking. Although
this last one doesn't seem to be relevant.
- I always wonder why the mailing lists are not under the "Community"
menu, but instead under Support. I can see the reason for placing both
the mailing lists and professional support under the same page, but the
main community (in my view) lives on the mailing lists. Perhaps replace
Community and Support by 3 new menu's titled "Mailing lists",
"Professional support" and "Community"
- Unify the .org, .com and .net domains. Make 2 of these direct rewrites
into the third. It's confusing and annoying to have the different sites.
- A more stylish theme would be nice.
I personally think a better structuring of the content to make it more
accessible is the most important thing to accomplish. A better theme
would also be nice, but I always feel lost when I try to use the website.
