Hello. I found out that the current www.alsa-project.org pages are not as good as they should be. They are next to nothing for non-developers (such as vendors) who yet don't know what Alsa is. Information is in wrong importantness order, and there actually is not a clear explanation what is the Alsa. A good page don't start with a ChangeLog of sorts!
I don't want write all the changes we need to do for the webpages. I even cannot do that because I don't have php3 system. So, would somebody copy existing pages to the temporary directory "www.alsa-project.org/new/" where we all together will incrementally rewrite the web pages? Thanks. My suggestions are following: The main page would contain the contents table (on left) and should describe (on right) clearly what is the Alsa project and what are the contact addresses. Don't expect people to join the mailing lists for contacting purposes. No other information. I would rearrange the content table as shown here; the most important information would come first. Press Vendor Call Search News Soundcards Download Documentation Mailing-Lists Bug Reporting (perhaps should be elsewhere) Applications Links I deleted the "new API" because it goes to Documentation page. I'm also considering Development page which would contain the devel materials. It looks like the devel material is now distributed around the webpages. If Development page would be added it would contain CVS source access, documentation for non-user API, devel mailing list info, bug reporting, ChangeLog of sorts, and link to SourceForge (which is now badly hidden under the main title (should be removed from there)). The vertical align of the contents table should be changed: valign="middle" --> valign="top" Then readers have greater changes to access the other pages without the use of the scrollbar everytime. I have not yet written the texts for the main page (or the other pages) but if this rewriting gets started, I will continue. Suggestions? ...and I don't want to hear the webpage is good enough now. It is worst of the kind --- think about vendors who are looking if Alsa is good enough for them.
