Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
particularly to new developers unfamiliar with our work.
There is still the point that some users have sounded off about being interested in SVN activity.
And it makes it very clear to someone even just skimming that we're still quite active, and very recently so.
An SVN log doesn't have to be obtrusive. Just the last 5 updates, toward the bottom. It's definitely more interesting to users than "Wiki changes" and the mailing list are likely to be.
The other alternative is having someone manually update news often enough that we're never more than a week without at least something on the front page to show work is going on.
My fear is that now that we have a "friendly face" to Rockbox, with the Utility for doing nice easy installs, and release versions that are actually up to date - we risk scaring new users (especially non-technical ones) with what they will likely see as a constant stream of techno babble on the front page.
Is that really a problem? Do we care if we scare away a few nontechnical users? Is there any possible consequence to intimidating whatever small percentage of people are uncomfortable around SVN web interfaces? I am willing to argue that there is not.
i dont mean to do this but what if we had a wiki page link like how ipodlinux does? i do like how it is on the front page though as thats the first thing i check when i go to rockbox.org. I dont mean to compare the two because there different programs but i do like how rockbox tells you what it is on the front page as ipl does not. maybe its not a good idea what i proposed?
