I'd really love to have a newsfeed with a world-map of community actions.
Just like drupal has [1] (bottom of the page)

Paolo  I would suggest 1. To move the Go button to the same line as the search 
bar, making the bar a bit smaller, you may replace the GO with a loupe maybe, I 
believe you may just eliminate "Enter search terms or a module, class or 
function name." as the search bar is self explaining 2. To add a footer to the 
main template, you can use this part to add some information such as Contact 
Us, Copyright etc.3. Above the footer or in it you may add social media buttons 
for facebook and twitter, I believe you use those platforms4.  Maybe a slider 
of images that showcase some screenshots just like some commercial sites have, 
just to enhance visually the design and make it more pleasant5.

Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] New website: update

yes I was referring the old one, the new looks just a leaner lest messy one but 
I think it will work for now. What CMS are you using? 
I got a web designer friend who I can ask to give a few pointers, but probably 
this would be for the next months. I cant code so I can only give suggestions, 
I will see if I can get some advice for the website though I think something 
will be needed to be done when a new logo is selected or updated the old one

Hi Antonio,
thanks for your comments; are you referring to qgis.org?
We are building an entirely different structure, based on
http://documentation.qgis.org/2.0/html/it/index.html
Of course we still have many things to fix there.
Your comments and help on this will be much appreciated.
All the best.

Re: [Qgis-developer] New website: update

[antoniolocandro]

Paolo

Reviewing the website it seems you have two navigation menus, one at the top 
and one at the left. I would suggest making the only menu the top one

It seems a lot of the features there should be under a common page as it looks 
right now looks crowded, messy..not good for general users (not developers)

e.g.
Under support could have chat, bugs, questions and all community

I would have

Home
Support or Community
Events
News
Blog (Planet isnt such a descriptive name for persons not familiar)
About

the home page should showcase qgis, maybe visit a few websites you may like and 
borrow ideas

Finally a wireframe of your proposal, or a dev website for review would be 
easier to comment than text comments since we have to imagine how it would look

when making a website you first create the visual component maybe using 
inkscape and once design is final you code it

the site needs to be updated to 2013 standards

my view only, and I also find the current site horrible to navigate and get 
answers, looks more designed for coders than users

Hi all.
Back from a short meeting with Otto, Werner, Raynold, and Alessandro.
Main conclusions:
* we should move all the nerdy stuff to another section of the site,
quite separate (but readily accessible) from it
* as a consequence, the user website should be even leaner and
simpler, listing only the info really essential for the users
* we need to improve the current script to build up the website based
on current GH, so everybody can see and comment the results
* we need a suitable theme, but we can publish the pages with the
current one until we find a better one
* we *need help* on a small but important issue: adding links to the
table of content, in the form:

.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
:hidden:

website/download
docs/user_manual/index
docs/gentle_gis_introduction/index
http://plugins.qgis.org

works, but the resulting link has a label "None". Does anybody know
how to add a proper label to it? I tried with the normal rst syntax
`Plugins `_ but it does not work.
This is a stumbling block for the publication.
* in the meantime, we are migrating content.

Thanks to all.
