Context:
These suggestions are assuming that the https://golang.org/project/ should get people excited and motivated about participating in the project. That they will be able to navigate through: what the project is and who it came from, what the community around the project looks like, how they can contribute and the future of the project. My suggestions will be more content and organization focused but the design and 'feel' of the site could use an upgrade as well.
Note: this page could use better design navigation for knowing what will be on the page. We could potentially start w/ a statement of intent about what the page will go over, but IMO that's not ideal.
I'll run through the page by referring to specific screenshots to indicate possible changes for future plans to rebuilding the pages.
Sketch for potenital changes:
IMO the word users should be avoided in most situations when describing a group of people. If we assume we want to give the feeling of ‘welcome’ then community members could be an alternative.
Directions unclear. Should be “We encourage all Go community members to join the golang-announce google group and subscribe to receive notifications.”
This whole section feels a little out of place, why is it here instead of under developer resources?
Also, is that newsletter the only option/ the only form of comm run by the go team?
There have got to be more ways to help than this. (Add Experience Reports here!)
There are def other ways to contribute... it'd be nice to build out this section into more inclusive code, community, content.
Hmmm...
If these ideas sound on track, we can easily get more granular about the section, language, and information changes (although it should be a part of the entire site redesign.)
