Adding live-manual links to 'stable', 'unstable' and 'oldstable' in the front page (Ben's idea).
Restoring original user section on index page.
There are some reasons why the user section was like it was:
- it's alphabetically sorted.
- just because image snasphots are currently not built doesn't
mean we should remove the link to it entirely.
- using the 'download' term rather than 'pre-build images'
still makes more sense to me and seems to be more common.
- having one link pointing to 'archive' rather than having
split it out to several (packages, images, irc) seems
better.
Restoring original project section on index page.
There are some reasons why the project section was like it was:
- it's alphabetically sorted.
- 'about' is the common name for an about page, not 'overview',
the real overview can be found in live-manual.
- 'links' is supposed to contain random links, not just media,
having these on two independent pages wouldn't make much sense.
- 'lifespan' is a term used on debian.org and was chosen here
on purpose.
- using the term 'User' to group deploments and downstreams is
ugly at best when there's already a user section on the page.
Restoring original development section on index page.
First, this sections target audience is not users, but
technical people, so the aim is not to make it
comprehensible at first read for 'new readers', but
the way people expect it that work with the stuff
(and there, the sorting is based on source package name).
Second, the section is named development on purpose,
we are reusing the same scheme that debian.org does.
Third, no problem in using something different or new,
but 'components' isn't fitting well either. That section
contains the technical stuff regarding development,
users interested just in how things work should not look
there for information, but in the manual. This section
really is about development.
And last but not least.. it would be much nicer to talk
about such things on the mailinglist first, before
you (Jonathan) just edit someone else index page entirely.
nested lists look ugly
