2013-04-24 19:11:47 Benjamin Kerensa description The Ubuntu Community link [1] is not prominently listed on Ubuntu.com [2] but instead has been left at the bottom of the site which gets the least amount of viewing and clicks (according to studies by Amazon, SeoMoz, Nielsen Research) The Ubuntu Community is the core of the Ubuntu Desktop software and without the Community there is no Ubuntu. We should always keep the Ubuntu Community prominently displayed on Ubuntu.com and not kick it to the bottom so that more enterprise related sections can be highlighted. Members of our community who knew the link was removed from the top said they had spent over twenty seconds looking for the new placement of the link... We cannot expect that regular visitors will spend that much time. [1] http://www.ubuntu.com/community [2] http://www.ubuntu.com The Ubuntu Community link [1] is not prominently listed on Ubuntu.com [2] but instead has been left at the bottom of the site which gets the least amount of viewing and clicks (according to studies by Amazon, SeoMoz, Nielsen Research) The Ubuntu Community is the core of the Ubuntu Desktop software and without the Community there is no Ubuntu. We should always keep the Ubuntu Community prominently displayed on Ubuntu.com. * Members of the community who knew the link was moved spent up to 20 seconds trying to find the link that was moved to the bottom of the page. Regular users wont invest that time. * The Ubuntu Community has a number of teams that rely heavily on community growth in order to keep a roster of regular contributors and without new contributors coming in to replace those who move on to other projects some of those teams will suffer from a lack of onboarding. * Enterprise efforts of Canonical should not take priority over the Ubuntu Community which is the foundation of the Ubuntu project.
