Re: A few questions: Libre SoC, website, Rust

[Almudena Garcia]

Hello again:

I've just found this page, of Redox OS project, which can be a good reference about how to structure the webpage in a useful way.

https://www.redox-os.org/

It's a pretty simple webpage, mostly written in HTML, and maybe PHP. It includes a bit of _javascript_, but I think that It's perfectly possible to clone this style without the _javascript_ code.

The docs page follows a pretty simple (although beautiful, anyway) items organization, grouping most important things in a only page.

https://www.redox-os.org/docs/

And the "book" section includes a very useful reader, with a good interface. Each page seems written using Markdown or any similar marked languages, and the background improves the readability.

https://doc.redox-os.org/book/

This webpage could be a good reference to create a better Hurd webpage, with a simple interface without unnecessary "ornaments", which makes the beginning easier for the newcomers.

This type of structure makes it easier to find documentation, and other interesting information about the project, added to be "attractive" to new people.

what do you think?
