web team meeting, August 10
We had the first meeting of the web team today. We talked about the issues on the tracker regarding the website and some topics which came up in recent discussions. The main points were
- translation of the website, especially into Spanish for Uruguay,
- expand the FAQ page on Squeakland, make a structure
- entry points for different audience, suggestion is a linked text like on the sugar labs website
- switch the animated gif with the moving car for a video on the homepage
- next meeting: two weeks from now on August 24
