[oslc-core] Website discussions

[Kartik Kanakasabesan]

Thank you Dave for sending the note out regarding what is being considered 
for the community website. 
One of the themes we are looking into for the OSLC site is to follow a 
model of 
Learn  - Use - Participate 

We are using this model to allow people of different levels of interest 
take the right information from the OSLC website and facilitate the 
decision making process on the level of involvement they would like. 
I would love to hear what the community has to say about that.
Regards,

Some of my colleagues at IBM have been discussing some ideas for
improving the OSLC community website at open-services.net. They've
identified some problems with the current website that could be
limiting the adoption and thus, the success of OSLC. They suggest that
content on the main pages of our site is not engaging, too static and
geared solely to the needs of specification writers, who are important
but perhaps not as important to OSLC as tool developers, end-using
developers and decision makers.

My colleagues have time/resources to devote to website work, and good
ideas for improvements and new features, but since OSLC is a community
effort, the OSLC community mailing lists are the place to discuss
changes to the website and the right place to coordinate those who
wish to work on improving the website. So, to start the conversation
here are some initial ideas for improving the open-services.net
website:

* Create a simpler user experience
* Provide more videos and links to other OSLC activities
* Provide some business content on how useful OSLC is for integration
* Links to other community initiatives
* Developing a work item tracking model and flow
* Encourage community contribution of their achievements with OSLC
* Video?s
* Tech-notes etc.
* Capability to subscribe to certain events
* Mouthpiece to drive community to build certain integrations, e.g.
OSLC ?Hackathon? etc.

Do you have ideas on how to improve the OSLC web presence, or feedback
on the above ideas? Do you have some time to devote to helping to
develop a better web site for the OSLC community. If so, please
respond here and let's get the conversation started.

Thanks,
Dave
