Pages nearly completed: 1. http://website-editors.gnome.org/products/desktop - there is a TODO item of updating the list of apps. Any input from marketing on which apps we should highlight? Have we got information about which applications are more popular between our users?. If not, maybe is good idea to collect this info asking to our major distribution (eg. Ubuntu, Fedora and SuSe). A link to a complete list of applications could a good idea as well. I'm worry about some projects that officially are not part of GNOME. We should say that these are applications developed by the GNOME project, but there are more GNOME applications outside the GNOME project umbrella. 2. http://website-editors.gnome.org/products/desktop/why - content looks good, initial proofreading done, I can't think of anything to add 3. http://website-editors.gnome.org/products/desktop/testimonials - Just added new intro text, initial proofreading done. There is still a Call to Action for GNOME platform or download. Not sure what this means. I'd like to have photographs of happy faces using GNOME ;) Apart of journalists, we can add use-cases. For example, I work for the Andalusian government. Though I'm not directly involved in the deployment of Guadalinex, our GNU/Linux GNOME-based distro, I can approach to high level positions on the regional administration charged of the free software policy and IT stuff to get some information. The important thing is to define what we want to get. We have a nearly year by year report on presentations on GUADECs http://www.grancanariadesktopsummit.org/node/218 http://ajsa.net/GUADEC-2007-CGA.pdf This distro is used on these projects: 1) A large based depolyment on schools This year, they are distributing laptops with Guadalinex to the pupils http://capileiratic.blogspot.com/2010/01/escuela-tic-20-reparto-de-portatiles.html This is, by far, the biggest and most interesting project. 2) Deployments on public libraries 3) Deployments on internet centers for digital alphabetization 4. http://website-editors.gnome.org/products/platform - Added some new content here, please review. I think is good idea to add a GNOME stack graphic here, similar to the one we have on GNOME mobile [1]. It is important to state that these components are part of the GNOME project. GTK is our most, if not only, well known GNOME technology by the general public, we must give the message that we've got very fancy technologies ready to be used apart of GTK+. A testimonial part on the platform is important too. We can add some projects like Sugar, Firefox, Google Chrome, MeGoo (not too much information by now, but possibly there are GNOME technologies in the middleware. An the GTK+ is supported by the community, we are supposed to have received money for that), LiMo (tough I don't have too much info neither) to name a few. We need to convey an idea of success using GNOME technologies. [1] http://www.gnome.org/mobile/ Pages with no content: 1. http://website-editors.gnome.org/products - Any direction on content here? Currently there is none. In my opinion, our products a two: the desktop and the platform. 2. http://website-editors.gnome.org/products/submit - Will this be a form? What kind of content should appear here? -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: Website - Pending Content Tasks
Hi, 2010/2/22 Darton Williams dart...@gmail.com: Hi All, A couple of questions: 1. Are the projects listed at http://projects.gnome.org/ what we want to refer to on http://website-editors.gnome.org/products? Not yet. We still have to discuss what's the plan for GNOME apps in the new website. So, the initial plan for the Products section is to only talk about the Desktop and Platform. Have a look at the content table in the wiki: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/TwoPointTwentyseven/Content The content marked for 2.28 is the stuff we want in the first version of the website. Everything else can be worked out later. 2. Are there specific GNOME products we want to highlight or is this page meant to be a complete list, or both? Desktop and Platform. For the Platform, we could provide a good summarized overview of: http://library.gnome.org/devel/platform-overview/nightly/ Maybe Shaun and/or GNOME documentation team could help here? --lucasr -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I could put something together. It would help me to see the blurb for the desktop first, to get a sense of the tone. My experience is in technical documentation, not marketing copy. But I can usually manage to monkey-see-monkey-do. Are we only talking about the desktop platform, or are we trying to push other Gnome-based platforms? Note that I'm currently drafting a comprehensive plan for restructuring our developer documentation. This includes figuring out which pieces deserve to be mentioned in the Platform Overview. I've started discussions about this in the past, but we never come to any real conclusions. I mention this because I think it affects what technologies we should highlight on the products page. -- Shaun -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Hi Vikram, 2010/2/19 Vikram Dhillon dhillon...@gmail.com: I'll give the download page a final review and start working on the Latest Sources stuff. Any advice before I get working? Thanks. It seems that Darton is already working on the Download section (including the latest source page). Maybe you could focus on another part of the content? A final review on the Download section is welcome anyway. Assign yourself to the pages in the content table here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/TwoPointTwentyseven/Content Once you got a final draft or review, update the table and send a quick not about the draft to web and marketing list. Cheers! --lucasr -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
