What I would like to find out here with you is what the website should focus on and also what it should not do. What are the 3 most important goals it should serve?
Please note: This is about the website as such, not: The jobs page/service, discourse, general community goals or our social media.
After this we can go into more focused tasks of writing down more detailed requirements for design and content.
For me the most important usage scenario would probably being a venue for people being interested in design in/on open source projects and thus helping to connect to other designers in FOSS
The website thus should serve as a gateway to our forum, other initiatives, and ideally to our social media (which is somewhat neglected, but thats not website and should be talked about in another thread).
(this is just one priority, feel free to add a 2nd and 3rd in your reply!)
Two things I feel unsure about: Jobs and Resources
Jobs. I know it is frequented, but I am unsure how much it builds community. Not against it, just dunno how to think about it.
Resources. I would love having our own resources as usability how-tos, help for dealing with conflicts etc. However, such materials take a lot of effort to create. The alternative is linking to existing resources; however, a website is not a very dynamic medium for collaborating on a shared resources (sure, you can, via github but e.g. a discourse community wiki post is far easier to edit)
