I have to agree on this point. I'm sometimes trying to bring up the archives for the mailing lists, as I access the web site from a myriad of computers (so bookmarking is out of the question). I find it hard to locate them, and sometimes I just want so see if there's anything new on a thread I written on.
For example, I click on "Developers" but it's not in there. I click on user guides, but not there again. Finally I click on "Get help" and there listed, plain and simple. It's just a bit confusing, as most of these lists are developer-centric. I liked the old design, where everything was listed on the side, as you could click through once to where you wanted to go. And shouldn't Gorm/ProjectCenter be listed under "Developers"? They're the development tools for developers. The news way of locating them is error-prone, and we seriously risk losing people's attention who may or may not be interested in the gnustep project. -- Christopher Armstrong <quineska AT__ gamebox dOT net> On Fri, 2005-09-16 at 19:04 -0700, Gregory John Casamento wrote: > All, > > I really have to express this bit of frustration... > > If I were a new, potential, user it would be very hard for me to navigate the > current gnustep.org site. > > I would find it very confusing that the "Downloads" section doesn't contain > the > current releases, but the links on the front of the page do (if so shouldn't > the other link be called "additional downloads"). > > I am constantly telling people to go the the site to show them GNUstep and one > of the things which always trips them up is "where can I read about > Gorm/ProjectCenter/etc etc." They always click on the link on the top of the > screen.
