We were thinking of a new navigation visually structured design with more optic energy. Give us some of your ideas and we will create a proposal design. Together we'll find the solution in optimal form. The same way it goes with your needs in print design. We basically believe that the content must be the main thing on each page -- the design comes in second. We want it to be done so that everything is visible in text-only, and also that the blind users don't have too much trouble with it.

AW: website
As i guess you are using a mysql backend it would be quite easy to keep the existing design as a text only version and providing another enhanced version for other users? (only if you want to) But nevertheless surely the content has to play the major role. Enhanced does not mean an overload of graphics. It could e.g. be a version for 800x600 with a maximum graphic load of about 30k at the start page (where most of it will be cached and reused). As i said before if you want us to do the job, any guidelines you provide (e.g. for blind users) will be considered. best regards, Michael We basically believe that the content must be the main thing on each page -- the design comes in second.

Odd error when bookmarking www.debian.org in IE 5.5 and 6.0
There seems to be a very odd error when www.debian.org is bookmarked under Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and 6.0. Internet Explorer supports little icons next to websites in the favorites menu. Go to www.useit.com and bookmark the site and you'll see a little red and black NN logo in the favorites menu and on the URL bar. When www.debian.org is bookmarked a black icon with green and white squiggles (for lack of the better description) appears in those places. It looks really sloppy. While this might be a bug in IE, I have verified it on two different machines and two different versions of IE. I re-tested www.useit.com on both machines ant it worked fine. I think it would be great for a little swirl to appear their instead, but I suspect that would go against Debian tradition of maximum browser independence. Does anybody know why this might be happening? -Jeff

Bug#119368: www.debian.org: It would be nice to provide search for file on www.debian.org
Package: www.debian.org Version: 2002 Severity: wishlist -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux bug 2.4.0 #420 Mon Jan 8 22:54:30 CET 2001 i686 unknown Hi!

Proposal for the redesign of www.debian.org/doc/
Proposal for the redesign of www.debian.org/doc/ --- The current main documentation page does not support the (expected) goal of the user: * Find the needed documentation, quickly. * I feel there are several problems: Section 1: The first link on the page goes to the Debian Documentation Project. This is not what the users are looking for and does not deserve top billing. Section 2: While some of the desired documentation is linked here, there's a lot missing. The paragraph based format is very hard to scan. An off-site link to the Linux FAQ does not belong here. Section 3: The links to the Linux How-To's and Linux Documentation Project are appropriate. However, they are the largest and most prominent links on the page. This gives the impression that the Debian project thinks their documentation is not going to be of much help compared to the standard Linux docs. Section 4: While a link to support page makes sense here, an outside link to debianhelp.org does not. I would like to propose the following changes: Section 1: Short anchor link list of the general headings with short explanations. Section 2: Link list of the current and active debian documentation broken up into sections such as user manuals, administrator manuals etc. Use a list format with the document title linked in blue and a short explanation. The explanations should be from one to four sentences long. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the page. Section 3: Highlight the Debian Documentation Project. Note that more recent or obsolete documentation is available from this page. Also, advertise the fact that helping the DDP is one of the best ways for new users to help Debian. Section 4: Link list to the Linux how-tos and to the links documentation project in a format fairly similar to what currently exists. Section 5: Link to the debian support page. Move the link to debianhelp.org to the support page where it belongs. Note that both the debian mailing lists and debianhelp.org maintain archives, and that users should check the archives before posting new messages. Note: I'm not sure about the order of the last three sections. Suggestions anyone? If people think this is a good idea, someone will need to work up a proposed page for approval, and the DDP will need to be involved. Let's discuss this! -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
