Skip navigation . Debian Website Round Table Proposal details: Abstract: The Debian Website is now several years old and has grown ever since. It contains lot of information and documentation. However, more and more people report that they don't find what they search or reveal this fact indirectly by asking for information available on the website on IRC, mailing lists or in personal conversation. (And I mostly speak of developers here, not of users where the problem might be even worse, I don't know yet) I think it should begin a discussion on wether we need to adapt the website structure and navigation to its current contents to enable more people to find information and documentation they need. I plan therefor to invite interested people to meet at debconf and discuss these topics. Some sub topics could be: how do we want to present subprojects and teams (CDD, Debian Women, d-i, ...). Some feel that they are hard to find on the page currently if you don't know where to look - can we improve the site navigation and contents so that new users can find what they search (ISOs, CD vendors) - the same for developers (as there is much more and more diverse information on developer-related information this is actually the more difficult task) - are there parts of the site that need heavy adjustements because of changes in the project and/or the web technologies in the past years I already held a brief talk at FOSDEM[1] about some of these topics and got quite positive feedback from users and developers (obviously more the latter at FOSDEM) that there is indeed need of changes. Similar experiences I got in a few IRC discussions about website topics. There is still a lack of a thourough discussion on debian-www@l.d.o on these matters (and I would like also to prepare some ways to get more feedback before FOSDEM, perhaps some email questionaire or web form). I wanted to initiate the discussion at the beginning of the year but got delayed by other jobs (like the release team, etc.) so this has to happen in the next weeks.
