I can only confirm Alexandres opinion.
In fact, i gave up using qgis.org as a starting point for anything, but
directly use google search for "navigation" cause i will get lost anyway.
And i think i'm already quite experienced within the qgis ecosystem ...
but newbies?
I think we should have a website as lean and clean as possible,
leaving more dynamic stuff to other media, and making it easier to
translate and maintain it.
This is a proposal.
What is more dynamic stuff? An example for me would be announcements on
news or changes from core developers or plugin authors. And only a per
mille of the user subscribe to or read the mailing lists where those infos
could be available. Would love to see such things on the start page and
not buried within any outsourced system. I bet this would downsize a lot
of user requests.

my intrusion, But I would like to give my opinion regarding the Website.
I might be also late to this discussion, but, As a user, one thing I find
quite disconcerting in qgis.org page is the fact that almost every menu
item send you to different site\page, breaking with the original layout
and
making it difficult to navigate in the site.
Therefore, IMHO, I think outside links should open a new browser tab
instead of redirect the user to a new site.

Hi all.

=======
Home page
[add main features, qgis server, web clients]
=======
* Download
* Plugins
* Manuals
* Sponsorship
* Case studies
* Commercial support
* Planet
* Bugtracker
* Contacts [includes Community]
* Mailing lists
* Chat
* Stackexchange
* local user groups (list, with links to their pages)
* user meetings
* developer meetings
* conferences (upcoming events)
* polls (probably we cannot do it in our new structure, and we'll
have to use an external resource)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This have been discussed several times, and I think we all agreed on it.
So if there is no further objection, let's start.
I'd appreciate if someone could take the responsibility for one or
more pages.
I'm going to work on git.
Thanks.
