[Marble-devel] New website content for marble.kde.org

[Dennis Nienhüser]

Hi,

at the sprint in Prague we discussed improvements for our websites, 
especially the first page people see. The most important goal is making 
it easier to understand what Marble is. One consequence is that we'll 
move much content away from edu.kde.org/marble (where the URL and the 
inherited page headers make Marble appear much more specific than it 
actually is) to marble.kde.org.

I created tasks for these improvements in [1]. The new content can be 
found in a git repository [2] and there's a preview of it hosted at [3]. 
At this point I'd like to get some feedback on the content and layout 
existing so far before moving on to add the remaining stuff.

So if you have some spare minutes, please visit [3] (should work fine in 
desktop, tablet and smartphone) and give some feedback here or in IRC. 
The intended audience is quite wide-spread: Mostly end-users, but also 
developers (those wishing to use Marble as a libray and those looking 
for a project to contribute to) and maybe even "decision-makers" and 
some random visitors. The challenge is to keep the amount of content 
small, yet include all information and place it appropriately such that 
everybody finds what he is looking for (or pointers to it).

The new content can easily be modified assuming HTML/CSS knowledge. Just 
clone the git repository [2] and point your browser/editor at 
index.html. So far Torsten and me have write access to the repository, 
but I'd like to see more contributors (both Torsten and me can grant 
write access).

Regards,
Dennis
