Bug#862980: update homepage
Hi,
I want to help to make the Debian website and wiki more welcoming and started with a suggestion for the frontpage.
I read the links of the bugreport and wrote the suggestion below.
I think the frontpage should be nice facts in easy sentences (as it already was) but add the mentioning of Linux (as many people will know what it is but might not link it to Debian), mention the Debian Project as a community and add a link to the diversity statement to show newcomers and interested people that this is important for the community to include everyone and last but not least make the links below more visible because i didn't relly see them for quite some time (just after looking up the Debian help page for like the hundriethed time I found this nice link).
In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/05/msg00134.html it is mentioned to sell debian more, this i would put into the Debian about page. So that the text on the frontpage stays nice and compact as it is and if you want to know more about "what is debian", "how to get debian", "how to get involved" and so on, you will find more information in the links.
looking forward to comments on this suggestion
Cheers
Clara
