All of this is quite damaging to D's brand.
Even even though I'm not a webdev, I've been working in
growth for a
long time and these things matter. I don't know DDoc, and I'm
not sure
this is a very smart move. That raise the barrier to
contribute to the
website. The intersection of people that know webdev and DDoc
is just
mostly existent.
The time I can spend on this is quite limited due to SDC,
work and
personal life. Learning DDoc is just too big of a barrier.
Yet I can
provide support to anyone that is willing to help.
Last but not least, it wouldn't hurt to hire a designer to
have
something slick.
I agree with all this, especially the last part about Ddoc.
We've all said time and time again if ddoc wasn't used for the
entire site more people would help with it. Ddoc makes sense
for the documentation but not everything else.
I thought Sociomantic were re-designing and sorting the site
out?
The harder it is made for people to contribute the system for
fixations, the lesser changes are seen.
It bothers me so much to report a bug on https://issues.dlang.org
. The reason is that the password stops working for me. Firefox
saves the username and password. I try to use it after 2 months,
and whops, system says it isn't available.
Another issue is contributing the website's design. I reported a
problem on the forum that is about the title problem of web page.
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected] Still the problem will be fixed.
Now I am asking, IF I was to make some changes for web site's
look, and post a picture of them (CSS changes mostly), would it
be okay to discuss it here, and apply them in short notice? If a
change would take 1 week, that doesn't work. I am
offering help here.
