Oggetto: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Project selection on the new website draft
Jody, I have to go so I don't have time to write more but this needs to be fixed instantly to avoid massive backlash against the new website. After so much effort it would be heartbreaking to have a negative reaction just because we would be perceived as providing advertising platform for projects which are not really free and open source (I guess we will hear more about this from Stallman tomorrow).

There is a very clear distinguishing of OSGeo projects on the website:
a) Sort order is OSGeo projects > OSGeo Community > Other
b) Only OSGeo projects are available from the menu directly,
c) When listed OSGeo Projects, and OSGeo Community projects are badged with the appropriate logo
When I use the link <a class="m_8286452909522314123m_3121802047553544889moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/" target="_blank">http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/</a> directly, I am seeing the page with all projects, with projects in what seems to be random order (and with some of the OSGEO projects, like GRASS, on the last page). Only when I click on 'projects' in the menu am I presented with the projects grouped in Osgeo projects, osgeo community, others. Wouldn't it be preferable to use that page as landing page when using the link <a class="m_8286452909522314123m_3121802047553544889moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/" target="_blank">http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/</a> directly?
This is going to be an interesting week collecting feedback when lots of the website is not working as designed quite yet (examples tagging and sorting). To be fair the vast majority of project descriptions were entered last weekend so this is our first chance to try things out with actual content :)

Not sure it is much of an explanation - our vision as a group is to empower everyone with geospatial - and there is a lot of open source >spatial to promote.
By the same vision <a href="http://live.osgeo.org" target="_blank">live.osgeo.org</a><a class="m_8286452909522314123m_3121802047553544889moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://live.osgeo.org" target="_blank"><http://live.osgeo.org></a>[<a class="m_8286452909522314123m_3121802047553544889moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://live.osgeo.org" target="_blank">http://live.osgeo.org</a>] includes all kinds of projects :)
The key idea is to help people new to our world to go through the choose a project pages and discover projects that meet their needs.
The website is a beta, we now have enough projects to test out these ideas and see what issues we can find. There is a meeting tomorrow >with the vendor that should be productive (a hands on training session[<a class="m_8286452909522314123m_3121802047553544889moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org</a><span>

I'm following the new website and branding process a little bit by the mailing lists.
is there anywhere a documented discussion or a documented and approved decision about how the project selection to be listed on the OSGeo website is done? I can't find anyone.
To be inclusive is one side; not to distinguish OSGeo projects from other software projects from other initatives (e.g. locationtech) or GIS vendors without any supplement words in the OSGeo website, I'm feeling unconformable with it.
Kind regards
