Notes and timekeeping by Sergey. Presentation by Lea.
Scope: contents of website, it's appearance, how it is developed.
High level:
- website should target both new users and advanced users (developers will find a link to github (where the developer docs will be))
- landing page should be illustrated directory and have:
- gallery + api cookbook
- quicklinks to getting started/ install
- show activity: current development, news, testimonials
- compact contacts
Details:
Section 1a: Shogun title + mini description with buttons for Get started/ Install/ Develop
Section 1b: Gallery
Section 2: Examples
Section 3: On-goings
Section 4: Contacts
Notes from Discussion What is good in scikit-learn website?
- ML details right at front page
- Testimonials. We should collect at least some.
What is good in current website?
- Examples are good.
Use-cases of the website:
- Just looking
- Using it
- Want to contribute (esp. GSoC)
We need:
- A (mind)map of supported machine learning algorithms
- Show it is active and developed
- Much more compact contact details (email, irc, stackoverflow, ...). "Contact Us" list of people should go away.
- Simple website?
- A gallery of examples
- Three-pane alignment of News / Users / ...
- Main buttons just below the "Shogun" label: download, github.
- Navigating stuff (where am I right now?)
- Have a "Get started" page and a link just in front of you (like tensorflow)
- Have a "Programmer's guide" (like tensorflow)
- Single page site with sections. The more you scroll the more information you get. Links lead to something deeper.
- Choose better/brighter color.
Would be nice to have:
- Show some prediction about user and their intention. Prediction should be trained using Shogun.
