All this talk about website redesign and reorganization makes me wonder. On many commercial websites I see a "For the Press" section. Should inkscape have one of those?
When I read this, I thought of this: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010401.html, now the page is old, and not everyone feels that Nielson's opinions are universally applicable (thougn I agree with pretty much all that he has written).
We should surely take notice of these points:
The top-five *reasons journalists gave for visiting a company's website*were to
- find a PR contact (name and telephone number), - check basic facts about the company (spelling of an executive's name, his/her age, headquarters location, etc.), - discover the company's own spin on events, - check financial information, and - download images to use as illustrations in stories.
Now it may be a little while before inkscape is involved in events needing to be spun and/or have financial information to reveal or conceal, but I would suggest that there would be a definite beneift from this information being available on a designated "press Pack" page
