[Geoserver-devel] Users confused by "Communication" link

Hi,
when facing this menu, it seems that some users are getting confused:

Inline image 1

I asked today a user not to open tickets before discussion, and the answer was “Sorry, but Issues tracker was the first choice I have seen on the main page of GeoServer.”

I cannot blame him, “communication” is a tad generic, while “issue tracker” is clear,
without some quiet time to explore the other menu entries, I would have probably done the same.

The way things are setup, it also means that nobody will read the issue tracker guidelines
embedded in the “communication” page because they have a direct link to the tracker there.

What about we:

  • Rename Communication to “Mailing lists and contacts” or just “Community Support” (maybe moving “Commercial Support” right below it to better show the two alternatives)
  • Probably remove IRC from the communication page (anyone still using it?)
  • Make a issue tracker page and move there the issue tracker description now found in “communication”, or just copy the directions now found in the tracker home page.

Opinions?

Cheers
Andrea

The issue tracker page: http://geoserver.org/issues/ (link to the tracker on purpose at the end, so that people need to at least glance over the other titles and don’t just jump to open their almighty, ultra-urgent report :-p )

Sounds like a good approach, thanks for preserving the links to some degree. Not sure how many external documents link to these pages.

Reading the commercial support page - I think we could remove the language about “myths” since the wording is from the dawn of time before there was a tradition of open source companies providing support.

I think we could also rebalance the experienced providers page to list organizations…

  • core contributors - currently volunteer / take responsibility is some capacity
  • experienced providers - acknowledge organizations that have contributed a feature on behalf of their customers … recently (say in the last two years?)

Ian if you are committed to monitoring stackoverflow we could replace the IRC section with an appropriate link.

All your suggestions sound good to me.

Hi,
when facing this menu, it seems that some users are getting confused:

Inline image 1

I asked today a user not to open tickets before discussion, and the answer was “Sorry, but Issues tracker was the first choice I have seen on the main page of GeoServer.”

I cannot blame him, “communication” is a tad generic, while “issue tracker” is clear,
without some quiet time to explore the other menu entries, I would have probably done the same.

The way things are setup, it also means that nobody will read the issue tracker guidelines
embedded in the “communication” page because they have a direct link to the tracker there.

What about we:

  • Rename Communication to “Mailing lists and contacts” or just “Community Support” (maybe moving “Commercial Support” right below it to better show the two alternatives)
  • Probably remove IRC from the communication page (anyone still using it?)
  • Make a issue tracker page and move there the issue tracker description now found in “communication”, or just copy the directions now found in the tracker home page.

Opinions?

Cheers
Andrea
