I dare to claim that the websites for various gnome-apps needs to get
sexier.
Right now it's a bit hard to find information on how to start hacking on
your favorite gnome-app. This might lead to people intersted in
contributing to a project, don't have a clue where to look. Some
projects have websites on www.gnome.org/projects/, some of them are nice
(the evolution site is fantastic), but some are really unmaintained and
are in desperate need of updates (like the nautilus website and the one
for g-conf).
The other day I came across the new gedit website
(www.gnome.org/projects/gedit) and it was really nice.
It included how to get the software both via ftp and via CVS for those
interested in hacking. It also included some nice screenshots and a
short description of the software.
I also discovered that it was really easy to alter the gedit-site to
make it fit for other projects and gave the nautilus website a try...se
here for my results: http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/nautilus. Hopefully
it will be up on the main site in a couple of days.
So, in order to make it easier for new contributors, I suggest that a
lookover of the sites in www.gnome.org/projects and that sites that not
look that good gets this small facelift.
I volunteer to make some of the work, but hopefully someone else are
willing to do some work too. It's really easy anyone with some knowledge
of html and it'll take a couple of hours for each project, tops.
