[openbeos] Re: the new website

Hi Jonas,

Sure. But we are talking *only* about any material and/or message that could make people think that Haiku is ready for the end user before it really is.
This concern was expressed to me in the course of the discussion on whether marketing was needed nor not, and it is in that line of thought that we need to make developers our primary audience.

I understand your concerns. We can focus* on developers,
but we can't put the user community in deepfreeze.

I fear that if we refrain from having the draft of, say, the Haiku User's Guide (or whatever the final name will be) available now, less people will see that it needs work, and so it will take longer to finish.

I see. it's not that we will fully eliminate those documents from the website, but rather make them available in a place and form where they are not misconstrued as a message that Haiku is ready for end users. We'll need some creativity, which I don't think should be a problem.

Anyway, I trust that you and the web guys and the core devs will find out what to emphasize and what to put more out of sight. :)

It is nice to hear these words. Thanks! :-)

* (To get more coders interested in Haiku?
How? What is effective, and what isn't?)

That will be the key: will we figure it out? Be sure that at least we will try.

Absolutely! And that is what I am pursuing: a good balance. :-)

Great. :) I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!

It is REALLY nice to get words of encouragement every once and then. Thank you! :-)

Koki
