Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal Out of curiosity in response to various DPL inquiries about "how can I help Debian?", I've reviewed a bit the various pieces of documentation on the subject and compared it with what other distros do. A remarkable difference seems to be a "per-profile" organization of the available material, i.e. organizing the "how to contribute" page with a top-level distinction among, say: developers, translators, bug triager, artists, donors, etc.
I believe there is some value in such a distinction, simply because the users interested into helping out usually knows pretty well what they are able and willing to do. I hence suggest to reorganize the content of http://www.debian.org/intro/help according to the various profiles. Just for reference, here a few links to what others (random sampling, not necessarily representative) have been doing in that respect: - Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora (scrolling a bit down) - Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/community - OpenSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:How_to_participate Thanks a lot for maintaining www.d.o, Cheers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
