</I>><i> I'm working on a few changes on the Web site:

</I>><i> a. (related to below) a new global top navbar, that's consistent

</I>Nice idea, but doesn't' look quite right to me, however I assume its
just a draft preview anyway.

</I>><i> improvements brought by this new design:

</I>><i> all mageia.org sites and apps (using the javascript snippet);
</I>><i> - it embeds the Mageia project logo, so branding is consistent too;
</I>><i> - it structures and highlights how the mageia.org Web at large is organized.
</I>If I understand correctly the navigation bar is meant to be used by
other Mageia websites as well not just <A HREF="http://magiea.org">http://magiea.org</A> ?

</I>><i> b. (related to above) a more obvious site map, a preview is available
</I>><i> here: <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/fr/map/?testnav=1">http://www.mageia.org/fr/map/?testnav=1</A>
</I>Looks good to me :).

</I>><i>
</I>><i> d. change how people get to mageia.org:
</I>><i> 1. the home page of www.mageia.org will focus and provide a single
</I>><i> major call to action: get Mageia; with a few, lower contrast other
</I>><i> actions (more info, contribute). Preview here:
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://i.imgur.com/nDlwK.png">http://i.imgur.com/nDlwK.png</A>
</I>Looks good to me :).
><i>
</I>><i> 2. loading the browser in Mageia currently sends you to
</I>><i> start.mageia.org which in turn redirects to www.mageia.org; I'd like
</I>><i> to change that so that start.mageia.org goes to
</I>><i> www.mageia.org/community/
</I>><i> 3. given these changes, in the new navigation bar, clicking on the
</I>><i> logo/home position would not redirect to the c.1. home (which is
</I>><i> targetted to fresh/new visitors) neither /community, but to /map which
</I>><i> provides a large, top-view of what's available in mageia.org Web site.
</I>><i> That's quite a change from usual navigation practices (although it is
</I>><i> used sometimes), and I'm not 100% confident yet, but I think it's
</I>><i> worth trying something a bit different.
</I>I think I understand this. A new potential user is likely to start on
<A HREF="http://mageia.org.">http://mageia.org.</A> Usually when a logo is put on a website as part of
the design it will link back to the homepage, but instead you would like
it to link to the map page, which I think makes sense.
Then when people are using Mageia you would like Firefox for example to
open up a contributing to the community page by default, rather than the
homepage or map which I think makes sense, because ideally we would want
loads of our users to contribute to it as well.
I have my own request for the website, please mention Identica on the
website again, and I would suggest having it link to the Mageia group,
because I make sure important news gets shown there and so on.
<A HREF="http://identi.ca/group/mageia">http://identi.ca/group/mageia</A>
In fact if you got access to the group settings, can you please make me
an admin of the group, so that I can clear out fake accounts.
Also can you please upload a better logo, because the one that is
currently there something is wrong with it apparently.
Also ideally Mageia should have people on all the social networking
sites where Mageia has a presence taking them seriously promoting
Mageia, so yep Diaspora really as well, which you should probably also
mention on the <A HREF="http://mageia.org">http://mageia.org</A> website.
Also ideally the <A HREF="http://identi.ca/mageia">http://identi.ca/mageia</A> account should send the news to
the group. Diaspora with another program can send to Identica, and
Identica can send directly to Twitter. Then I think Twitter can send to
Facebook as well some how.
