[Development] A face for the Qt Project
Dear community, The Qt Project is a huge effort from many people, and for the same reason, it's quite interesting to (1) Learn how to contribute and be part of it, and (2) Analyze the interactions of the many Qt modules. For people new to the project, contributing to Qt might be challenging, but I'm certain we all agree that being clear, and provide all the information in one place is crucial to at least enable them to do the first step. On the other hand, if you have been around for a while, you know that Thiago's blog has a good set of statistics [1] that helps a lot to get an overview of the current state of the project. With these two ideas in mind, it makes sense to use qt-project.org as the face of the Qt Project, highlighting the two previous points I described. I would like to ask the community, if we are in favor of using the proposal from [2] as qt-project.org. The goal will be to have this repository under our open governance, so anyone will be able to suggest changes, as we do in Qt. The idea will be not to duplicate content from https://qt.io, but focus on aspects related to contributing to the project. # About the implementation The page you can see on [2] was generated with Dash, a Python module based on Plotly [3], and the data comes from the meta qt5.git repository, including also the qt-creator and pyside-setup ones. The text you see on the left-side cards, comes from local Markdown files, so also it would be straightforward to edit them. I will upload the code if the community agrees to go forward, so then we could be able to create a public repository to keep this code.

I really like the idea and I think your implementation is very good at giving an overview of the community and how to get involved.

I didn't knew about Dash, this looks like a very nice python tool to work with. When you release the code, I could try to see if I could implement something similar for KDE.

Thank you for this initiative.The interactive stats provide fascinating insights, and having all the relevant resources on one page would help lower the barrier to contribution. Please also make this _prominent_. Currently, the "Community" page [1] is easy to miss on the main Qt website. The only places where I can see links are: * The footer section of qt.io * The very bottom section of the Developers page [2] Regards, Sze-Howe [1] https://www.qt.io/contribute-to-qt/ [2] https://www.qt.io/developers/ ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development

Hello everyone, Finally the repository is ready: https://code.qt.io/cgit/www/qtproject.git/ and the redirect is in place, so now when you visit qt-project.org you will get to the new page.

Re: [Development] A face for the Qt Project - Repository Request
Hello, I haven't get any critical comment regarding this being a bad idea, so I would like to take your +1s and continue with the next steps. I would like to request a new repository: Name: Qt Project Web Description: Repository for the qt-project.org website Responsible persons: Cristián Maureira-Fredes Repository name: qt/qtproject-web Once I can push the code there, we could solve the deployment and usage of https://qt-project.org Additionally, some of you have been highlighting many improvements and issues with the page, so in case you have more ideas or found more issues, let's use the QTWEBSITE project on JIRA: https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTWEBSITE Specially the component called "qt-project.org" https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20QTWEBSITE%20AND%20component%20%3D%20qt-project.org In the meantime, I will try to fix some of the issues you raised, and write down the others on JIRA, so we don't forget.
