List of installed packages

[sebix]

Create an extra page and provide there a list of pre-installed packages (can be obtained from the Changelogs).

I wonder if things like this, release notes, roadmap, etc. (all expected to change as we go along) would be better put in the winpython wiki?

[sebix]

This would be an idea, but I think there should be a certain amount of information available on the homepage to reduce the lookup time for new (potential) users. So, informations that are important for new and existing users, should be there in my opinion. This includes a list of packages, maybe a short forecast for the next version or some notes of what are plans for the futures (as already proposed in #3, and also linking the Roadmap in the wiki), how to get help and how to help/contribute.

As the content grows with all these additions, it's necessary to organize/split the content a bit, but with minimal effort as we have still only a small website. Currently I'm thinking of keeping all on one page, but use some JS to display only parts (so no problems with deactived JS). Besides, it would also fix the unresponsive design :)

Hi Jim, Hi Sebastian,

Here are my personnal comments.

About website :

• I would like it to be :
  • simple to maintain,
  • simple to read (short sentences),
  • simple to load on a smartphone (not too big to load).
• showing the releases details is already a challenge for me :
  • I can generate the typical ".txt" files Pierre's solution was doing,
  • but I don't know how we can go from today simple links to a lmore a "pleasant" look.

For roadmaps :

• I prefer timing over feature, and periodic releases,
• I would like to share 'whished' features, so we can :
  • show where we would like to go,
  • accept comments / contributions / changes.
• what do you think about a "scrum-like" roadmap :
  • next release date is rather well defined (+/- RC life)
  • next release new targeted features are very limited (2 ?),
  • 'remains a whish' features are :
  • listed by whish priority, negociable until next release cycle begins
  • maybe cut into sub-features if they are arriving on top of the list.

Hi Sebastian, Jim,

I updated the links so we have more internal links. #8

Now, I created a pull request to update the textual of the Main page :

• can you review and comment (and pull if ok) ? #9
• I never figured out how Sebastian made his local tree version webpage working here: https://sebix.github.io/winpython.github.io/ ==> I don't know how you can see the result (please enlighten me)

Thanks for the links to the changelogs. And also for the PR, I already commented on it.

I use git push sebix redesign:gh-pages where sebix is the name of the remote repository, redesign is the local branch, and gh-pages is the remote branch (see in the manuals).

Thanks !
