The concept of the existing maemo.org homepage is good and we should keep it. | The concept of the existing maemo.org homepage is good and we should keep it. | ||

| + | |||
| + | == Content organisation == | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are two aspects: content and its organisation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Content: Need to evaluate existing content for its usefulness for common use-cases. Need to ensure it is obvious when content is out-dated/deprecated. | ||
| + | ** Delete old wiki content completely - it is polluting Google juice, and confusing users who see it as new information | ||
| + | ** News page should include links to outside articles, blogs, official announcements, high-ranked ITT threads, etc. It should be a window on the highest-ranked Maemo time-sensitive content | ||
| + | * Integration with sub-sites and partner sites: | ||
| + | ** Midgard vs Wiki vs gtkdoc vs ... | ||
| + | ** Ask gronmayer to take site off-line, in favour of a really useful extras (we're getting there) | ||
| + | * Organisation: Existing content should be presented and linked to in a way that makes popular tasks easy, and unpopular tasks available through linking, and also through search (site search and web search). | ||
| + | ** We will reorganise information on tutorials, SDKs, and platform APIs so that the site user will encounter the most up-to-date information by default, and must dig a bit deeper to get out-of-date legacy information | ||
| + | ** Move to OS2008/tutorials, OS2008/SDK reference, etc... | ||
| + | ** Currently, OS2008, OS2007, ... docs are all mixed together in each category | ||
| + | ** Link to HTML reference documentation in favour of PDF | ||
| + | ** Promote useful wiki pages to http://maemo.org/documentation | ||
| + | |||
| + | We need to look at 3 things: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Clean page layout for all portal pages - pages must bring you easily to the content you're interested in, if you are in the most common use-cases | ||
| + | * Efficient search on website | ||
| + | * Web search indexing of Maemo content | ||
| + | * Ensure all outdated content is removed from the primary navigation paths of users interested in common use-cases. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Smoothing the introduction of new users to maemo.org == | ||
| - | + | * The development section should be organized in a simple, clear and centralized way to beginners. The following information is important and should be presented to the newcomers immediately they enter the development section. | |
| + | # Simple steps of getting started should be presented in a clear and definite way ,on a conspicuous area with color. for example: | ||
| + | ## Sign up a maemo account (link to register page) | ||
| + | ## Download and set up development environment.(link to detailed method page) | ||
| + | ## Create hello world application, Package and Test(link to several typical and simple examples,and useful links to advanced docs should be included) | ||
| + | ## Collaboration on maemo.org and Launch app on the download section (link to pages including usage of project homepage) | ||
| + | # Key features of maemo platform should be presented on the section page explicitly. | ||
| + | ## Free to develop and launch applications. | ||
| + | ## Powerful enough to create advanced applications. | ||
| + | ## Flexibility in programming (Gtk+/C,Python,Qt and etc) | ||
| + | ## Easy to port existing application. | ||
| + | # Wiki on frequent technical problems in programming(the how-tos part),and entry to developer's disscusion board(link to ITT's or a new one) to help newcomers to find solutions to difficulty and ask for help. | ||
| + | # All docs in a catalog with good classification for look up. | ||
| + | # Maemo's roadmap and history, technical news and announcement about maemo. | ||
| + | # Maemo app gallery and entry to experienced and recently active developers' tech blogs. | ||
