Bug#819664: Re-organise the CD / download pages to make them more useful

Adrian Gibanel had some great ideas about presentation of derivatives stuff on the website, perhaps he has some about reorganising the 'getting Debian' section of the website. Adrian, the initial proposal and discussion is available here: https://bugs.debian.org/819664 I would drop mention of architectures and go with either the multi-arch only ones 64-bit ones or an auto-detection system based on User-Agent, JavaScript etc. I would encourage a review of how the getting/download pages for other operating systems (Windows/Mac/Android variants) and Free Software distributions work.

Bug#762255: Some thoughts
Hi. I actually started looking into this today to see how much work it would be. Some findings: Writing a parser for DLAs is pretty simple, you can reuse a lot of the stuff in parse-advisory.pl. If someone is interested, I can provide the code. The fun starts when you generate index.wml files. My thought was that DSAs and DLAs should be mixed together since creating a completely separate listing for them sounds silly. But it turns out that DSAs are sorted by number and not by date (why, oh why?) and to change that you actually need to touch get_recent_list (english/templates/debian/recent_list.wml). This function is used everywhere and has a lot of different calling conventions and a lot of weird special handling and is just a horror to touch. Maybe I will find some more motivation to look into it on the weekend. Regards, Frank

Bug#819664: Re-organise the CD / download pages to make them more useful
Package: www.debian.org Severity: important As pointed out in https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/201603301121.25333.lisi.re...@gmail.com , we may be giving links to download ISO images but we're not giving *any* useful information about the checksums and signatures for those images in pages like https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ As we're trying to educate users to verify their downloads more, we really need to do better here. For many (most?) people that page is already a wall of text, so just adding more stuff there won't help. >From other discussions with users in debian-user and elsewhere, I think we actually have *too many* pages describing how to download ISOs etc., and it's becoming a pain to keep up with them all and keep them all updated in sync. It's very easy for people to find outdated/misleading/confusing pages that put them off. So, I'd like to suggest a new, much simplified strategy: * *Remove* the direct link on the front page to the multi-arch netinst I'd argue that we *don't* need a direct link on the front page, and it's a dis-service to users who may download it and then not know what to do to verify etc. * Replace that link with a link to a simple "Download" page which gives *simple* instructions and links. This would be similar to what we have at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ , but we also need to re-org that page and make it prettier and clearer, add some graphics etc.: Download Debian === Debian is [ ... ] GRAPHIC 1 GRAPHIC 2 (picture of installer) (picture of desktop) * Download installer * Download live image ===== + (link to m-a netinst?) + link to favoured 64-bit image + link to 64-bit netinst + link to favoured 32-bit image + link to 32-bit netinst + more... (link to page with + more... (link to page with more architecture options, more architecture options, download options, etc.) download options, etc.) (CENTERED, in a box?) GRAPHIC 3 (picture of checksums / padlock etc.) * Verify your download (simple rationale and instructions, link to page with more details) GRAPHIC 4 GRAPHIC 5 (picture of USB stick)(picture of CD/DVD media) * How to write to USB * How to write to optical media === = (simple instructions, (simple instructions, link to pages with more link to pages with more details) details) * Re-organise all the other pages to act as the subsidiary pages mentioned here, removing the redundancy that's biting us and hurting users.

SSL Certificate error on debian.com
Hi, If you go to https://www.debian.com/ you get an invalid certificate error - as the certificate has been issued for debian.org, not debian.com The content seems to be the same though, so if they are the same sites, why don't you just 501 redirect all traffic to www.debian.com to www.debian.org? Just one line in .htaccess will do it - unless there are pages that are different on the two sites. As well as getting rid of the rather unfriendly security warnings (how many people leave when they see this?) it would also improve your search results, as search engines will see the two sites as duplicate content. Other than that, Debian is a great Linux distro! Regards Adam
