<font face="Trebuchet MS">I echo Amaia's concerns about access to
the P2P resources</font>. I still find it difficult to navigate
and I have been wary of pointing colleagues to the pages for this
reason. <br>
<br>
As suggested, a newbie landing page with a link-rich introduction to
the whole P2P collection of resources would be very valuable.<br>

no frayed nerves here <g> ... the look and feel and perhaps
even organization could be improved, but like any voluntary
project, it depends on volunteers to do it ....<br>
<br>
the organization itself however, is not too difficult, as you say,
once you put your head round it, 3 columns, one about us, one
about topics, one per 'format', and a special list of languages
.... this being said at 17m pageviews, there's clearly a bit of
people who can already use it ... not sure if the wikipedia
itself, hugely successfull, is any 'simpler' to use ...<br>
<br>
some of the design issues I see as priorities is:<br>
<br>
- having two column intro pages for each section<br>
<br>
- adding a visualizaiton and a contact network for each section<br>
<br>
- have both a simple entry page for newbies, and a 'advanced'
intro page (as it is now) for non-newbies<br>
<br>
- creating a separate wiki, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://p2pfoundation.com">p2pfoundation.com</a>, with a
lot less and only nicely presented intro material,<br>
<br>
we had a design project going with some funds we got, but franco
and James said the proposal was not appropriate ..<br>
<br>
by the way, I think we should move this discussion to "platform",
as it is separate from our coop projects,<br>

advertisers, I looked into this a few years ago for a project
I had. I'll dig my old bookmarks although I was looking into
advertisers with a traveller audience. I guess the audience
here is quite different. Free Google Ads wouldn't hurt though.

<div>I hope what I am about to comment is not taken the wrong
way, it is just me wondering what your general view on this
is but what about sprucing up the look of the p2p foundation
site(s)? The wiki format feels off-putting to most who are
not geeky enough. I think a more user friendly/self
explanatory first impression would have more chances of
attracting advertising. It would also feel more welcoming to
not so academic/geeky types who might still find its content
very interesting. I know Jane, for example, told me she got
super confused as soon as she landed on the p2p foundation's
home page. She felt the whole thing was incomprehensible
to her. It is true that once you get your head round it and
calmly have a look at it, you get it but that first initial
reaction is very decisive..
