<div dir="ltr">Hi,</div><div dir="ltr">Thanks for raising <a href="http://plugins.qgis.org">plugins.qgis.org</a> problems, Richard. I had looked for ways to address things like this in the past but was unable to figure out where the source were, looking unsuccessfully at <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Django</a>. Now Thanks to Alessandro I know I was starring the wrong place.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br>I think the first and mandatory thing to do is to remove the button at the top right. I also fell into the trap: </div><div dir="ltr">- connect to the <a href="http://plugins.qgis.org" target="_blank">plugins.qgis.org</a> to look for a plugin</div><div dir="ltr">- enter a keyword in the text box</div><div dir="ltr">- the next and logical step is to click that button nearby instead of hitting "Enter"</div><div dir="ltr">- you end up with creating an account if you're not cautious, and without any explanation on what a login is necessary for.</div><div dir="ltr">This button should be removed as there's already a "LOGIN" button earlier.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>In the same spirit, there's also two links to <a href="http://qgis.org">qgis.org</a> page (the Logo and "QGIS Home"). We should keep only one!<br></div><div>Hence my proposal for the menus would be: the Logo (leads to <a href="http://qgis.org">qgis.org</a>), "Home" (leads to <a href="http://plugins.qgis.org">plugins.qgis.org</a>), "Plugins", "Planet", "User Map","Login" and "Search textbox". Maybe move the "Share Plugin" button somewhere in the menu bar to help devs directly access it.<br><br></div><div>About the text available at the landing page, I also agree that it's too much and not really useful for common users. Links to bug reporting section in <a href="http://qgis.org">qgis.org</a> is confusing and inappropriate as it's about <a href="http://hub.qgis.org">hub.qgis.org</a>. And it does neither mention access to "Planet" or "User Map" features. I think this page should explain what this site is for, which features are available and link to appropriate pages/sites depending on the item. Hence I'm not sure <a href="http://plugins.org">plugins.org</a> should land directly to <a href="http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/?sort=-featured">http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/?sort=-featured</a> (a section I've never understood what it was about). <br><br></div><div>Link to documentation seems a good idea as there's a whole chapter (<a href="http://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins.html">http://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins.html</a>) about plugin development, with the advantage of translation.<br></div><div><br></div><div>my2cts,<br></div><div>Regards,<br>Harrissou<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Envoyé depuis mon HTC</div></div>
