JisaoIs there a feedback team for the new ubuntu.com site?03:52
tonyyarussoJisao: No idea - but if you babble here there's a more-than-decent chance the appropriate folks will see and/or hear about it later.03:53
dsasJisao: yeah.03:53
dsasJisao: you can file bugs on it here: https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug03:54
dsasthe editors are listed here: https://beta.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-website03:54
JisaoThis new download ubuntu page is bad.  Too many questions.03:54
Jisaotx03:54
dsasor you can email webmaster@ubuntu.com03:54
tonyyarussodsas: much better answer :)03:54
JisaoI don't think an opinion would qualify as a bug...03:55
tonyyarussoJisao: Note that you'll need to remove the beta. if you aren't a beta tester03:55
tonyyarussoJisao: "wishlist" - sure it can!03:55
JisaoOh, I see.03:55
JisaoNo, I am not a beta tester.  Just an interested user.03:55
JisaoI just find it annoying to need 5 slides to explain how to choose the right iso.image instead of one.03:56
tonyyarussoMaybe there should be a long explanation as well as an "I know what I'm doing, gimme" button.03:57
JisaoI don't know.  I liked the debian explanation:  "If you don't know what we are talking about, then choose this one" :-)03:59
JisaoThey omitted the name of the version.04:00
tonyyarussoFrom the iso names?  Yeah, I've heard that - and think it's shockingly dumb04:01
tonyyarussoI thought that was being fixed04:01
JisaoNope.  I deal with new people to Linux.  They are going to freak reading that page.04:03
JisaoBut I better get over the shock, otherwise I am going to come across as a first class complainer.04:03
dsasJisao: filing bugs is all about complaining.04:04
MadpilotJisao, if you click the silver 'download' button in the top orange banner on ubuntu.com, you get one screen with four sets of choices, then you get the ISO.04:05
Madpilotwhere's the '5 screen' version?04:05
Jisaonot screens, slides.  As in a slide show.04:05
JisaoI need to explain more about this page now than before.04:06
Madpilotjust aim people straight to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download04:06
JisaoThere are going to be a s...load of broken links on the internet, believe you me.04:08
Madpilothow? I think the old URL was ubuntu.com/download, which now nicely forwards to the URL I just gave...04:09
Madpilotand if links directly to ISOs have broken, that just proves that you shouldn't link directly to ISOs...04:10

dsasoh dear, they're pushing IdeaPool on the mainpage now, as if it hasn't been cesspooly enough.04:12
dsass/mainpage/mainsite04:12
JisaoYes, it seems many links forward.  Good.04:12
MadpilotJisao, every link should forward if URLs have changed, If you find one that does, file that as a bg04:13
Madpilotbug, even04:13
Jisaook04:13
Madpilotthat's just basic good webmastering - do not break links04:14
JisaoYou'd be surprised at how many people don't do that.04:16
Madpilotthere's lots of crap websites out there. Ubuntu's generally aren't among them.04:16
=== tonyyarusso should finish the work on the CESA site even though he isn't really obligated anymore, merely b/c I'll be the only competent person for a long time most likely
JisaoWell, that will be a premiere:  my first bug report in Linux.04:18
