1)- The Mambo theme you are using is not W3c approved.
This
could not be a problem except for the fact that the site is
quite incompatible with Opera and Konqueror browsers. The
real issue is Javascript...
...which is switched off on many browsers due to security
issues (and for popup blocking, of course :).
The page looaks horrible in konqueror, and not every novice
user will install and try firefox instead. I'd remove all the
JS specific stuff. Concerning JS, I think it's OK to use a
bit of JS if it doesn't affect the looks on other browsers
and as long the page can be still navigated without JS.
2)- I like the cut you give to opensourcemusic.info.
You
maybe will have community success... I really hope so! But
be cool... Linux Audio Community seems to be really cold in
everything is user friendly and in some way *newbe*
oriented...
I do not agree generally :) . There are really huge efforts to
make linux audio more user friendly.
especially forums and website communities...
It's not specific for audio ;-) .
The preference is always mailing lists! This is my
experience with
OpenJay.org...
3)- I think I would add your RSS in
OpenJay.org. I think
altough that articles about programs should be a little bit
longer than now... ;-)
I guess the page is currently under heavy development. I think
it's a very good idea to create such a page so novice users
can get an immediate overview over the most important linux
audio applications.
I'd like to share the following thoughts:
* I'd remove most of the JS code
* I'd resize the top level banner. It wastes lots of
screenspace. No prob here (1400x1050) but I guess there are
still citicens with 800x600 on the web
* OK, content will be done over time
I really like the idea so thanks for the work.
Best regards
