Hi Ethan! Blame me for not having contributed to the fishbowl proposal so far. We have a more-or-less complete concept for zope.org or eurozope.org next generation on paper (yes, on paper, not as files ...)) and no time to feed it into the design process. I promise to give our input ASAP ...
Though i am no expert, I have read Designing Web Usability and Don't Make Me Think and it has informed the site design I am proposing.
I just want to emphasize the "usability" thing again, using an example: If you currently go to the site and want to download a product, it's hard to get the right thing quickly. What we have in mind: - there should be a combined software download/project home section like in sourceforge, with dedicated portals for each new project - there should be different "views" onto that, so that I can see only products that work for Zope 2.3.x, or all devel projects I am member of etc. - comments about products, bugfixes, bug tracking etc. should all be centralized at the project home; right now most of the how-tos, comments, and hints go to the zope.org mailing list, bugfixes (if you are lucky) go to the maintainer who may or may not post them ... very chaotic Cheers Joachim
