www.opensuse.org is the single most accessed page in the SUSE/openSUSE universe. With 1.5 million visits per month it generates 2.5 million page views and has around 500 people on the page at any given time. Yet it's one of the oldest, crufty pages we have!

It doesn't concentrate on what it should do: Tell people about the distro so they download it. It's design is 5 years old, it's not mobile, it's not accessible. There is absolutely no interactive, engaging content at all and the technology used goes as far as a shell script/cron to update dynamic content.

To sum it up: It s***s through a straw!

This project is about coming up with a new prototype that mitigates all these problems and can be proposed to the openSUSE Project.

      Why not redirecting to a wiki portal? * simple * allows updates at any time * needs no special HTML-, CSS-, ... hacking skills

        A wiki portal would even be worse I. Look at the landing pages for ubuntu, OS X or Windows. This is how you convert users to your product, not by a wiki portal.

      If people are working on this this hackweek (interstellar) I'd like to see the landing page better reflect all the offerings under the openSUSE Project umbrella - the main Distribution, Factory, OBS, openQA, etc etc. obviously some are more important than others, but right now the current page focuses so much on just the main distribution it produces a whole bunch of cracks for potential users and contributors of our other stuff to slip through.

      On a redesign, the new branding guidelines by Ken, could also be applied. Would be a great start for 13.2, btw.

      reflect all the offerings under the openSUSE Project umbrella

      Would be a lot of stuff you want to mention on one single page ;-) but I guess many others already tried something similar in the wiki by "simply" searching for all the subdomains under opensuse.org.

      Maybe a dynamic menu could help here? http://creative-punch.net/2014/02/making-animated-radial-menu-css3-javascript/

      But please help those guys who are not using Javascript...

      Some SEO improvements might also be a good idea.
