Helping with the Debian web pages
IMO, the "Helping with the Debian web pages" page[1] needs some more
information to be helpful to all these people who submit bug reports
against www.debian.org or directly mail this list.
* the TODO file is not linked directly from the "Helping..." page, only
from the "How is www.debian.org made" (/desc) page, should it be given
the website look-and-feel and linked from /index?
* it would really help a lot of non-Debian-developer people if there was
a clear breakdown of 'who' is responsible for 'what': ie, www.d.o is
maintained by the debian-www@ list, bugs.d.o by the BTS team,
security.d.o by the security team, ftp-master.d.o by the RM, etc.
* how about a link to the debian-www list archives, or a simple FAQ?
One of the most common things on this list is one-off messages from
non-subscribers wishing to report a problem, saying "I don't know where
is the right place to send this, but here it is." I think the world
would be a better place if the top ten or so questions were already laid
out so people knew what to do, eg why do you let spammers harvest
addresses from the list archives?, the Elbonian web mirror is broken,
who do I complain to?, I've seen illegal use of your logo/code/chicken
soup recipe on the Internet, how do I dob them in? and so forth.
