New News
by Johan on Thursday 02/Nov/2000, @03:17

I regularly check the KDE page to read the news. At first I was delighted to see that the news section is now in view with a "normal" browser window - no more scrolling to get to the point!

But - in the old version I could click into the news list from then first page and then read ALL the news with just the help of the scrollbar. Now I have to go forth and back between news-view and first page. And if there are more than five new items I also have to press "more" and get yet another view of the news, this time listing something like the first paragraph of the latest news (?).

I would really like a system that works like the old one - click in first page news list sends me to the right anchor in an all-news-full-text page (or all-news-since-30-days). If I want to comment something I won't bother having to click twice, but when I simply want to read the news it's too much work as it is now!

Well, we could add anchor hooks to the dot.kde.org frontpage and tweak rdfplus so that the KDE site points to anchors on the frontpage, but I'm not sure it's necessary or if we should even do that. I think you'll get used to the new system soon enough.

Or else we could have an enhanced version of http://dot.kde.org/articles that would also display the article text. 30 days is quite a lot though.
