== Improving the current layout ==

=== What's wrong about the current maemo.org layout? ===
'''List issues here:'''
* Navigation is a little hard to...navigate.
** Certain user-centered items should be prevalent and easy to use (e.g., Downloads, News, Documentation).
*** Downloads page(s) could be better organized (takes notes from user-centered software sites like [http://www.versiontracker.com VersionTracker.com], or even something [http://www.mp3.com completely non-software-related]).
** A lot of the subnav stuff (Roadmap, Lists, Bugzilla, SDK, IRC, etc.) could be removed from the main page and placed in a Developer-centric page.
* As discussed [[Talk:Task:Improving_maemo.org/community#Where_to_get_dynamic_content_from|here]], should the main page be more of an aggregated community-driven content portal?
* Many graphical elements are blurry. Is this a post-process issue, or is it inherent in the original artwork?

=== What works about the current maemo.org layout? ===
'''List positive remarks here:'''
* Main page News summaries are good.
* The idea of posting "The Pearl" is good. Should it just be called "maemo.org Download Picks" (or something)?

=== Proposals for creating a great maemo.org layout. ===
'''List proposals here:'''
* Rethink focus of maemo.org as a whole: Are Tablets for coders or regular users? (I think the latter.)
* Why not ''wikify'' the entire site? Midgard is great software, but going completely wiki would speak well of "openness."
* New color in [http://maemo.org/news/announcements/view/logo_contest_results.html new maemo.org logo] should be used.
* Make it a fluid layout.
* Make it more ajaxy. Use [http://jquery.org jQuery] or [http://www.prototypejs.org Prototype] (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ajax_frameworks something]) to create a clean, snappy UX.

-* Very finger usable in Maemo compatible devices.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
-* Specific layout for Maemo compatible devices Y/N? See the [http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=209927&postcount=6 ITt discussion].
-* The author/team of the winning logo should be invited to work on the redesign.
-* Less text only links and more icons in homepage and navigation. See [http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=209927&postcount=6 allameswerout suggestions in ITt].
