It's a bit weird to see projects around Monero posting continuously many useful articles, while getmonero becomes more and more obsolete. I guess the articles from other entities (cake, localmonero, etc) are paid, so i underatand there is more incentive, but if things stay this way getmonero will soon host only outdated info, which would be quite distructive for anyone curious about the project

From my conversations, it seems the last major push for an update of the site was also paid for. To prevent further degradation, perhaps it's time to consider getmonero more like an index, rather than of a font of knowledge?

would it not be a good idea to encourage a ccs for a temporary/full time webdev to drive this forward?

i've been away for some time, but seeing as this has been brought up again, i'll push on with
monero-project/monero-site #1900

consider getmonero more like an index, rather than of a font of knowledge? <- I disagree with this. People need a reliable and impartial source of info.

moneroguides[m]
ErCiccione: that's fair enough and i don't disagree with you

<ErCiccione> "moneroguides: From my conversati..." <- the ccs that was funded to redesign the site

moneroguides[m]: What CCS?

anyway, seems like i'm misinformed or my opinion is insulting

sethforprivacy
Thats 5y old lol
-
sethforprivacy
IIRC that led to the current site but I could be wrong
-
sethforprivacy
Maybe it was never done
-
ErCiccione
It was rehrar's redesign yes. It was done long ago

selsta
i like the current design :P
-
moneroguides[m]
<selsta> "i like the current design :P" <- does that include content structure?
-
selsta
i'm used to the current content structure so i don't have issues with it
-
selsta
but i don't doubt that it could be improved
-
MajesticBank
the current design is somehow old-school and it represent what monero really is
-
MajesticBank
feels like community and no-js required
-
moneroguides[m]
for clarification i'm not against the aesthetics of the website, nor and i against the general layout. I do however have a lot of recommendations for a reorganisation and am in the processes of getting them written up properly

MajesticBank: monero getting some fancy slow javascript website would be a nightmare :D
-
MajesticBank
selsta: someone told me don't fix if it's not broken in here
-
MajesticBank
I think people visit getmonero.org most of the time to download GUI
-
MajesticBank
but feels like website is relevant for next 5 years
