Debian's is a disaster. With over 100 links on that page. I'll revert back to my favorite Einstein quote: "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction." And what I mean by that is that its VERY hard to say things in fewer words. Its very hard to keep the interface clean and concise. I just didn't want people saying "this should be on the front page" because that's what we did for the wiki. We need more things out of the wiki and into the main web repository. But careful thought needs to be given to what we're saying and what we're trying to do. That, unfortunately, takes a website vision that we just don't have. If everyone has a different opinion of what they think the website should be, we'll end up with a messy page that we'll have to re-do again. Unfortunately proper UI people are few and far between :( -Mike -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
