[Pydotorg-redesign] Re: [Pydotorg] Re: python.org Commercial Exits

[A.M. Kuchling]

Just wanted to ping in on this again, because I don't see any
changes on python.org web-site.

<sigh> The sidebar discussion has yet again exploded off into a
zillion subthreads. I want to actually do something about this.

Proposal:

* Create /community/companies.html. Criterion for listing:
companies that either use Python primarily, or have made strong commitments
to using it and supporting the community.

* Change the top-level sidebar to http://www.amk.ca/python.org.html .
Suggestions that haven't been acted on:
* Move down the 'Mirror sites' link (this is a good idea)

That's it. Last call for suggestions, or vetos from the appropriate
people, please.

Ah, so that's why there was no reaction :-)

Fair enough (the "Companies" link is missing from your sidebar,
though). I would also move the "site map" link next to the "search"
link. BTW, the "community" link on the top stil points to the
PSA; that should probably be a new index page listing all the
entries you have in the side-bar.

Please don't forget to add the PSF donation button in a prominent place,
e.g. on the top right corner. Aahz has the code for the button.

It's near the top of my list, but other things keep getting higher
priority (such as catching up on my e-mail after being without for
thirty hours ;-).

Works for me. You don't say, but I assume this replaces "Commercial
Exits" on sidebar.

Works for me. Should replace "SIGs" with Site Map (if not now,
eventually). I want PyCon in the sidebar until Community points to
/community/ *and* /community/ is beefed up to prominently display PyCon.

Now that I've added the quickie links to /download/, I think the docs
should go above "Python Versions" in the sidebar.

Please change "Developer's Guide" back to "Python Project" and include
the bugs/patches links -- I added those partly for efficient access and
partly to emphasize that this is for people who want to contribute bugs
and patches: the developers of Python itself.

I expect that after we have gone through the home page redesign, the Exits
and Commercial Exits sections won't be on the home page anyway.

I thought the sidebar discussion had been rolled into the home page redesign
discussion and that we were not planning on any dramatic sidebar changes but
I guess I missed something amongst all the emails. I'm just catching up with
the deluge, so I should be in sync in another day or so.
