When I still edited the old main page in an attempt to keep relevant information easy to access, somebody else broke its basic structure a few times in disagreement.

"Too many cooks spoil the broth." (Zuviele Köche verderben den Brei.) What had started as the Fedora Extras home page has turnt into a strange mix of content somewhat related to packaging, but despite its page title starts with an out-of-date section "For Users". One cannot edit this main page anymore without looking up the individual "sub-pages" at the bottom and editing them instead of the main page. The individual pages that are included in the table are full of unstructured unsorted information, e.g. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/MainPageDevelopers > > Nobody with expertise on creating > > quality web page seems to have the final say about it. > > I multiple times on the list proposed that we need one or two "wiki > masters" with Packaging knowledge that coordinate the different efforts > in Packaging/, PackageMaintainers/ and Extras/; but this is a volunteer > based project and nobody stepped up afaics (and it seems FESCo doesn't > care to much about it either these days). Historically, FESCo members have had to step forward and take some of the work-items on the agenda. Nowadays, there's a show of approval in IRC when somebody introduces eye-candy like a Wiki theme or a table-layout (which squeezes a page with 17 bullets into a narrow column), but the content itself is in a desolate state. _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
