The following reply was made to PR www/86970; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Murray Stokely <murray@freebsdmall.com> To: George Danchev <danchev@spnet.net> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: www/86970: The new web site look and feel is not FreeBSDish as we all know and love Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 11:44:50 -0700 This PR is probably just going to be closed. You'll need to be more specific if you want specific changes made. We appreciate feedback but this is not helpful feedback. 'just change it back' is going to get lost in the noise of the more positive or more detailed criticisms. We have other more specific CSS/layout issues to addres. The old site was cluttered and difficult to find any information. It was also about a decade old and many of the pages were huge and poorly structured as it had grown organically since 1995. - Murray On Thu, Oct 06, 2005 at 06:21:04AM +0000, George Danchev wrote: > > >Number: 86970 > >Category: www > >Synopsis: The new web site look and feel is not FreeBSDish as we all know and love > >Confidential: no > >Severity: non-critical > >Priority: low > >Responsible: freebsd-www > >State: open > >Quarter: > >Keywords: > >Date-Required: > >Class: change-request > >Submitter-Id: current-users > >Arrival-Date: Thu Oct 06 06:30:17 GMT 2005 > >Closed-Date: > >Last-Modified: > >Originator: George Danchev > >Release: > >Organization: > government / military > >Environment: > >Description: > The new web site looks like a commercial portal instead of free software one. It is not as clean as the old one was. Too many buzztricks in front of it and important information is thrown away somewhere behind that new and stupid face.
