Hi Martin,
We are talking around each other and actually agree, let me explain
what I meant.

As for the articles contained therein: I think that the content is
not really in our hands, nor should it be (or we'd call this list
something other than -artwork) :-)
I think the articles should be made by the doc team hand in hand
with the artwork team. Web pages are not documentation, the visual
appearance is as important as the content (IMO). Furthermore, the
visual style and content cannot be made separately, because it
complements one another (at least here, in a visual presentation of
a product).
The text in the articles, and the selection of articles is up to a
different team. The design and layout of those articles is certainly
our business.
Specific things that come to my mind when I look at the page:
If I compare ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu and xubuntu web pages, xu,edu
and ubuntu pages have a main page fully for the introduction to the
distribution. Xu, edu and ubuntu do all have a "Related projects"
box. Kubuntu does not. (OK, that's more about the content of the
page.)
Actually, I think that if anyone made it to this website, they have
at least some inkling of what to expect. Having current items
displayed shows, in my eyes, that things are "moving right along".
I do agree that a related projects box would be good though.
The "konqis" image is in my opinion completely redundant. It looks
more like an image from a fairy tale, not from a professional Linux
distribution. Maybe a screenshot on the main page would be more
informative?
100%
I think the titles and all font sizes could be adjusted to make the
page more structrured. The number of visual elements is very small
( no coloured wrappers for content, titles as images etc.) , the
white space looks more "empty" to me.
Definitely.
Martin
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Bye,
Ken
