Re: Ideas for gnome.org

[Nuritzi Sanchez <nuritzis stanfordalumni org>]

I agree with whomever said we need to think about the redesign first. We need to figure out what the communication goals of the website and then go from there. 

For example the current website seems to have most of the following: 

• External: 
• Attract new users
• Attract new contributors
• Fundraising
  
  
• Internal: 
• Provide a place for contributors to organize themselves
• Keep the community updated on important updates
• Access important information about the Foundation or Project

These may be too many goals, or the wrong ones, but it's a place to start. Once we have our goals set out, we can reboot the experience to reach those goals.

I agree with Andreas, we had that solution before and it didn't really pan out.  It was huge relief to actually switch into wordpress at the time.  

Well, gnomeweb-wml also had some very specific pain points, in particular it's build system, that other static generators necessary won't have.

Fabiana mentioned over lunch that gnome.org uses wordpress a bit backwards in places. Some parts that belongs in the content, are actually hardcoded in the theme, and some layout things, that should live in the theme, are done in the content. So it would probably be good to clean that up as part of a redesign of gnome.org, if we decide to remain with the current system.
