Take at look at this open-source package home page:
http://www.mt-daapd.org/
Its approach and content is completely conventional. All the
classics: Forums, FAQs, Documentation, etc...heck, even a .org :) The
visual and content focus of the homepage is clearly on the "latest
news", which is all the rage for home page design these days.
Howerver, there's not a single clue of what the software does.
I urge vigilance to avoid this syndrome on all OSAF software home
pages.
If not for our well-written news summaries, www.osafoundation.org
might be dangerously close to that threshold of not providing any
actual cluebies to the newbies either. The planned project-specific
home pages under development will have more detail and improvements,
which is good.
It'd still be valuable to push the "What's New at OSAF" subheader from
the home page down a bit and insert three sentences with The Big Idea
into that spot.
Anyone able to summarize Chandler, Cosmo, and Scooby up in three (ok,
four) sentences?
PS. Yesterday I had a brief vision of www.osafoundation.org using the
visual layout of the Chandler desktop, and you just click into
different collections :) Not yet, methinks.
