Decision and Action List - Web Site and Marketing improvements

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

I had a clear mind and thought over a couple of things this weekend. I 
want to sum up a list of topics that we should discuss and decide so 
that action can be taken as well as consequent actions.

I like evolutionary approaches, so I think the website can be gradually 
improved and I will work on that - provided somebody chimes in to write 
actual parts of it too (e.g. content). Also, no work gets lost.. if we 
decide to split the site the contents can always be moved over, while if 
you work on a complete new site and it doesn't finish, moving over is 
harder. Some stuff could be done in parallel... so I hope the points 
below will be for "everybody".
Other premise, I envision GNUstep appealing several audiences, since it 
has several parts in it: core framework, porting framework, extra 
libraries, applications, developer tools.... etc

Some decisions:

1) "Core Library" name. Possibly logo?
2) Project name
3) "GNUstep name usage"
4) relation to other Desktop environments and the way we "quote" them 
and how they can quote GNUstep


Some Actions:

1) Once decided the "Core Library" name, I will make the web site 
coherent in all places I find
1bis) Same work on the Wiki... that one can be easily done by everyone
2) If we like to have a specific name or term for "GNUstep project" I 
will update the current site to reflect it
2bis) Same work on the Wiki
3) Some people involved might just read this list and comply, otherwise 
we should contact them, up to Gregory as leader himself
4) if we agree on some action, I will update the WebSite

5) update and "describe" the library presentation (after 1) for obvious 
reasons shown here:
https://www.gnustep.org/developers/map.html

6) review the developer index. I think the contribution note needs to be 
moved and some "text" should be written instead of just pointers. 
Imagine this would be the home for developers. It is the index.html 
(e.g. developers.gnustep.org <-> www.gnustep.org/developers/ )
https://www.gnustep.org/developers/index.html

It is not that inviting. Generally, presentations of the libraries 
should go in here if they are not project general.

7) Work with Richard on links to "unframe" frames of Reference 
documentation and study a way to navigate it within the site. Just a 
first step to clean this up.

Stop here but there are more :) What do you think? Let's start to work 
and discuss?
