Website Analysis and Design

This is where the discussion of business vision, scope, and user stories will converge into an outline of the website redesign.

= General Notes =

Targeted users
I have identified five typologies of users which should be targeted by the scribus website:
 * End users coming from the world of free software
 * Alternative graphic artists
 * Companies and public agencies looking for a cheaper solution
 * Potential and current contributors
 * Potential developers

Navigation paths
malex 10 Dec 2010 - As the use of Drupal has been scrapped in favor of static/wiki front site let's determine the path as if were in a wiki.


 * multilingual (en, de, fr, nl, es, it, pt, ...); how to manage the workflow?
 * en.scribus.net (a.k.a "www" and equal to www) - the home page. xx.s.n are translated sites in supported languages.
 * www/wiki - user wiki entry point.

How do we want to handle the landing pages? We need a list here: ...
 * /support
 * /community
 * /download
 * /end

Who are they and what do they want?

 * New users who already have Scribus installed in they computer through the package manager and want to know what they can do
 * Potential users who want to know if Scribus fits their needs before installing
 * There are also those who may have heard about Scribus, may be quite unaccustomed to downloading software, but first want to get a sense of what Scribus is or is for. These people might be encouraged to view some examples of various sorts of Scribus-created projects.

What does Scribus want to show them

 * Overviews. Perhaps using a graphical approach to illustrate some overall concept (we are often dealing with those who are highly graphics-oriented).

Who are they and what do they want?

 * Graphic artists who already use other libre graphics software
 * Graphic artists who are exploring the free software world for "ethical" reasons

Ideal paths trough the website

 * find a way to show testimonials...
