Thanks Gezim for your ideas about the wgo homepage. I have picked them and I have listed them at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/NewWgoStructure ("Homepage") together with some more ideas that were at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/LooknFeel We need to build a sensible proposal for the homepage with these ideas.

I think no one should need to scroll in WGO page
Yes, it would be nice to have a homepage without scrolls (for the rest of pages scroll is ok if needed, as Greg points out). Although it would be good to have a homepage worth to check frequently. I mean, not a nicely splashy, fully static homepage.
I think it should be separated into 3 sections, maybe using tabs and allowing users to change from "user" to "developer" to "business" (like http://www.suse.org does)
http://www.novell.com/linux/ provide tabs that, in fact, go to other subsites. We have the primary navigation doing this, even if it's not designed as tabs. In order to consider tabs for wgo sections we need to see first what we have in the wgo sitemap.
or using images (maybe kind of like http://www.redhat.com has the 3 images).
This is almost a purely layout design choice since those images don't identify sections but campaigns. Andreas Nilsson (who has been providing the big splash images in gnome.org) and others are fans of this graphic-block model. Myself I'm a little concerned about depending on designers to update web content, specially the homepage (and now the wgo homepage has an outdated splash image). BTW, we still haven't got a designer. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
