Website
by Jim on Tuesday 12/Feb/2008, @07:32
Are there any plans to revamp the KDevelop website? I've always found it pretty frustrating to use. For example, I was on it a while back trying to find out if it has any Python support. Here's what I had to do:

* Go to the front page.
* Find the "Features" link on the left-hand side.
* Realise that clicking on "Features" does nothing at all.
* Figure out that I have to click the "HEAD" link to the right that is insanely small (it's "x-small" in the CSS).
* That page tells me absolutely nothing of use and directs me to the KDevelop 3.3 features page.
* I go to that page, which only lists the features new in 3.3.
* I realise that it missed KDevelop 3.4, so I check that. Another partial list of features new in 3.4.
* I check 3.2. Another partial list of features new in 3.2.
* I check 3.1. Another partial list of features new in 3.1.
* I check 3.0. Another partial list of features new in 3.0. But this one actually mentions the feature I am interested in. Success!

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a website dedicated to a single application to give you a straightforward list of its features, but there doesn't seem to be anything of the sort available for KDevelop; a changelog spread across multiple pages is hardly the same thing.
