Excellent work Talli and team!
a few questions/comments:
- If you are planning to use OpenACS 4, we are talking about implementing these changes not earlier than end of August. Is this right? maybe we can do something before then?
- I am not a usability expert, but since there is such a difference between the tech and not tech community, wouldn't it make sense to have a "role oriented" navigation? e.g. a top bar pointing to a "developers" a "businesses" instead of a general "community" section.
- fresh content in the home page is important and the "last postings" you propose is a great thing. The same with the rotative banners. How about adding a "developers" rotating banner? zope has the static one for digital creations.
- The list of OpenACS sites should be improved, the sites could maybe be classified by industry, and other info sucha as a description and traffic should be provided wherever possible.
- when you talk about the "What is.." section, I don't think we should try to have that many links, specially not to the forums. I would start with the 100 words description you talked about and then list the ways the toolkit ads value to companies/users/developers and finally a list links explaining the packages, whitepapers for businesses and straight links to the /doc of the package for developers. This list is already too long...
