Feedback on new web pages
Dear Debian team,
I would like to provide my personal feedback on/feeling about the new web
pages.
Let me state that I am a rather traditionalist and I browse almost exclusively
using desktop PC.
FEEDBACK/OPINION:
I understand that these pages may be easier to browse while using mobile
phone/tablet.
Unfortunately, most of the information is now hidden and requires searching
it, more mouse-clicks/loading more pages.
>From this point of view, they are significantly less effective.
The "streamlined" design is
I know one cannot stop the changes, but I would strongly like to encourage you
to keep the old design alive in parallel so that it is easy to switch to the -
IMHO - much more usable old design when one wishes to do so.
I have read some comments on a not-only-Linux news web-pages (in Czech)
https://www.abclinuxu.cz/zpravicky/debian-v-listopadu-spusti-nove-webove-stranky
and the users have expressed similar concerns/opinions, e.g.
https://www.abclinuxu.cz/zpravicky/debian-v-listopadu-spusti-nove-webove-stranky#27
translates to:
"Hm, this is exactly the type of web-pages that I always leave because they are
not well-arranged and they give a little sense at first sight."
I agree with that comment as I often turn to www-search in order to find the
information I need when I encounter similar web-pages.
This typically happens if I need to find some information related to
Ubuntu.
SUGGESTIONS:
1) The exclamation marks are not necessary, they are distracting and forced.
2) I would prefer that the top-left "menu" contains more items than the current
4:
Debian, Blog, Micronews, Planet
I would love to see most of the original structure reproduced OR add a switch
to more detailed arrangement closer the original layout.
Kind regards,
Martin Zouhar
