Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Out of curiosity in response to various DPL inquiries about "how can I help
Debian?", I've reviewed a bit the various pieces of documentation on the
subject and compared it with what other distros do.  A remarkable difference
seems to be a "per-profile" organization of the available material,
i.e. organizing the "how to contribute" page with a top-level distinction
among, say: developers, translators, bug triager, artists, donors, etc.

I believe there is some value in such a distinction, simply because the users
interested into helping out usually knows pretty well what they are able and
willing to do.  I hence suggest to reorganize the content of
http://www.debian.org/intro/help according to the various profiles.

Just for reference, here a few links to what others (random sampling, not
necessarily representative) have been doing in that respect:

- Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora (scrolling a bit down)
- Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/community
- OpenSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:How_to_participate

Thanks a lot for maintaining www.d.o,
Cheers.

This was never implemented, so closing.
Since we restructred this page a lot the proposed change is obsolete.
