there are a few things that would be nice and would make the openwrt.org home page more useful and informative.
first, as i mentioned before, fix the useless link labelled "Supported Devices" which simply leaves the reader on the home page. next, clean up the "Headlines" sidebar to truly represent up-to-the-minute news. at the moment, the top link there is "New Release Candidate", which describes the 8.09-rc1 candidate from back in november of 2008. that's useless news -- nobody cares. the same with the link to a new openwrt kamikaze release last august. clear the junk out of there. instead, there should be a *prominent* announcement of the upcoming 8.09.1 release. oddly, there's not a single mention of that anywhere on the main page. why not? that sort of thing should be *trumpeted* front and centre. instead, you have to pop over here: https://dev.openwrt.org/milestone/Kamikaze%208.09.1 to learn about it. openwrt should follow the lead of the fedora project, which has a big counter counting down to the release of f11: http://fedoraproject.org/ that's news -- it should be presented as such. finally, is there any interest in an openwrt twitter feed? if the openwrt folks wanted to toss out informative tweets on a regular basis, i'd definitely subscribe. possibly more thoughts later if i haven't alienated everyone by now. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
