Re: Content Milestone - Mapping

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Paul:

Overall, I like the new proposal.  However, a fairly significant group
of people who use the GNOME website are developers who work on GNOME
or want to write a GNOME application.  Wouldn't it make sense to have
some more high-level or visible links to the most important developer
resources?  Perhaps a high-level page with links to things like API
documentation, release team information, GIT pointers, forums to get
help, information about how the community uses IRC, etc.  I'd think most
of this information is already on live.gnome.org, but it seems the
website should point the direction for developers.
