Clear message

Summary

The current website isn't the most user-friendly and is hard to navigate. We want to change this.

Assumptions

This website should work in at least Arora, Konqueror, Firefox, Galeon and IE{6,7}

Design

You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue.

Implementation

The changes will first be tested on our testservers (hosted by RyanKavanagh and RoderickGreening). They will then by pushed onto launchpad and applied onto the official websites by the Canonical sysadmins.

  • Download and Archive blocks on the left will disappear

  • Kubuntu wikitheme will become default
  • Feature tour like the Ubuntu.com one
  • On the Community & Support page, we will split it into different languages, with a link to a page for each language

  • Smaller font size.
