Re: [pygame] Re: sprint this weekend



I think the site should be formed around the top use cases. I think the book "don't make me think" is a wonderful guide to making websites usable.

1.) Download and install pygame
2.) Quick "what is pygame"
3.) Documentation / Sample code
4.) Share user projects
5.) News

I think the main landing page should probably have links to these and not much else. Maybe show top news 'below the fold.'

I'm not seeing them...

This is fine, front and centre.

There are a number of confusingly named headers, of which I have no idea
what I'm looking for. When arriving on the home page, I want to see a
docs link in the header, rather than have to decipher that I need the
'learn' header, and then finding the link somewhere in paragraph of
text.

I'm not seeing this anywhere. On the old website, this was also not easy
enough to find, nor was the page well maintained/formatted.

Recent releases are shown on the home page. I instinctively expect the
header of that to be a link to the full page where I'll be able to
browse projects. But, it is not a link, and I don't see a place to
browse projects.

Again, not finding this. The best I see is recent issues and commits.
Again this is not useful to me, and I expect clicking the header to take
me to the actual source and bug tracker sites, but they don't.
