[Elementary-dev-community] Keep the elementaryos.org updated
Hi guys, I think the elementaryos.org should be updated more frequently. Niel has passed away almost 3 weeks ago and the banner is still up? Why is not happening on journal side? I mean there are 20 000 people registered and I'm sure alot of the go on the daily basis to check for the news but for a quite some time now it has been looking like the webpage is dead. Any thoughts?

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Keep the elementaryos.org updated
Hey Mensur, as a member of the web team I can tell you that we indeed are working on a big refresh of the website, which unfortunately takes most of our time away from fixing things on the current site. I personally haven't touched it in months, but you are right and I'll put the standard banner back when I get home ;) And Cassidy who is the guy doing most of our journal articles just got to university and has a lot less time than he used to have, so help in that area is always appreciated, just send a email to pr...@elementaryos.org if you wanna help out.

There have been gaps of up to a month between journal postings, plus the answers section seems a bit slow at times (despite the large number of registered users). Some things that could be explored (in no particular order): 1. Push new web page. I know it's been under development for a long time. I expect it to improve on social/collaboration options beyond today's page. Ultimately, user participation would be key to distribute content generation. 2. Encourage more regular journal postings (~1/week?). Easiest would be to build a pipeline of postings and dish them out with a more frequent cadence. 3. Widen the scope of journal postings. For instance, including how-to, tips etc. If one looks at omgubuntu, there is a good number of different types of postings. 4. For Luna+1, elementary should consider releases with a narrower scope, so they can happen more frequently. For a project that is still nascent in many aspects, having an 18+ gap between releases doesn't help drive the image of a project that is dynamic and healthy. ttosttos -- On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 11:13 PM, Mensur Zahirovic linuxsaj...@gmail.comwrote: Hi guys, I think the elementaryos.org should be updated more frequently.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Keep the elementaryos.org updated
Hi fabian, I know that you guys are working on the new webpage, but i was talking about the current one available. Something needs to be happening more often on it. When it comes to news section.. I know Cassidy is busy but why not involve someone more?? Why not involve this guy who has this blog *elementary*luna.*blogspot*.com/ ? He writes very often about things which is happening in luna. Maybe he could contribute or someone else :)) Cheerz! ;) 2012/9/14 Fabian Thoma fab...@elementaryos.org Hey Mensur, as a member of the web team I can tell you that we indeed are working on a big refresh of the website, which unfortunately takes most of our time away from fixing things on the current site.
