Cool -- I am quite happy with the result, even if I still have some small requests :) I do hope that we can do changes to it even after it goes live, right?
Sure, as is policy, I'll maintain the web site much the way Alexander maintains the Wine tree. Check out the website from CVS using the "lostwages" (I think I will keep it that name) module. Make your changes to the local files, then do a "cvs diff > patch.diff", then email the patch to: web-admin@winehq.com, with a subject of PATCH.
OK. What about: -- my Contributing changes I've email yesterday?
I'm ignoring them. :-) Some of them I have implemented, others I am keeping my way for now.
-- I suggest we get rid of "How to Install Binary Packages" from Binary Downloads, and point people to the HowTo. There's more stuff to it, and that's the place to document it.
Sure. By the way, thanks goes to Frank's World for the how to. I still think it needs more fleshing out. A patch is welcome for that page.
-- similarly for "how to extract a file" from Source Download. It would be nice if we can add a table or something to it to make it a bit more consistent
Send patches.
-- the biggest sore spot in the site is Bugzilla. The reason is that just browsing the menu the user expects a consistent behaviour (the box to the right to change), and we have that with one BIG exception: Bugzilla. And it's not a small exception: in a big flash, everything changes: page layout, headers, color scheme. Every time I click by mistake on it, I'm startled. Suggestion: create a front page that behaves uniformely with the rest of the site (like we did for Documentation). That will at least allow for a pleasant browsing experience.
I agree here. Until I update bugzilla to the web site theme (E.T.A. Never), a placeholder page will go in. I'll possibly copy some bug entry help to that page as well.
