I believe our webpages should be self sustained and understandable
without external parties.
Like by typing “ITP” in the “search” box on http://www.debian.org/
which leads to http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.*.html pages?
That makes me think we're performing quite good here.
If I look at the results at http://search.debian.org/?q=itp I roll my eyes and
go away, sorry. As much as I'm impressed^wsurprised the search does something
again, I'm totally unimpressed by those search results.
From looking at the summaries at http://search.debian.org/?q=itp one could
believe that "ITP" is about selecting a server close to Australia Austria
Bulgaria Germany Hong Kong Indonesia... ;-)
One might object that Accepted-Languages might get higher priority or
might even be used to limit the results. But that's another topic.
yeah.
cheers,
Holger, who is impressed by people pointing out something "is there" when
apperarantly people have problems locating that information. To me it seems
that this information is presented poorly, not that those people searching
are doing something wrong.
This is one of the problems with volunteer-driven projects IME. There is
little to motivate people to fix fiddly usability issues and it's much
easier to give a 'jobsworth' response. I used to think this was
deliberate, in order to create a bar (i.e. people who can't be bothered
to search for terms shouldn't be getting involved in wnpp issues),
personally I find this a bit 'sniffy'.
cheers,
tim
