[gentoo-dev] New website: Where the .... is the ....ing documentation link?

[Duncan]

TL;DR:  (1) Please consider either making Documentation a top-level-menu 
link (preferable), or at least change Support to Support and 
Documentation.  (2) On the documentation lander page, add a "one big 
list" link to a browser-keyword-searchable list of docs, like the old 
docs project page had.

Looking for the news glep to double-check the title header max char limit 
(for the shorewall news-item thread was the first time I've had to use 
the new website.

I *HATE* it!  It's a NIGHTMARE to navigate, compared to the old one!

There's all this nice fuzzy buzzword bingo, but actually FINDING anything 
like DOCUMENTATION is an exercise in frustration!

OK, no direct docs link.  Well, "getting started" should have a nice 
documentation link, since you don't get far on gentoo without docs... No, 
not there...  Well then, "learn more" CERTAINLY must lead to 
documentation allowing you to do just that!... BLECH!!!  NO!!!  Nothing 
there but more buzzword bingo (and a contact link and links to share more 
of my interests with privacy-insensitive corporations that already know 
too much about me at the bottom).  OK, OK, Get involved must SURELY have 
that doc link, since people will need some documentation in ordered to do 
so!... Ugh, another rabbit trail... Oh, DUH!  Must be under SUPPORT!  OK, 
there it is!

But even if I KNOW to look under support, it's STILL two clicks to 
documentation, where it WAS just one!

And once on the documentation page, again, a whole bunch of fuzzy 
categories!  Where's the "one big list" link, where a simple browser 
keyword search will immediately find the document for configuring gentoo 
for whatever fancy technology you're wanting to get up and running, be it 
something fancy like mdraid or lvm, or more basic like one's init system 
of choice or sound or OpenGL?

But at least put a nice direct one-click link to docs direct on the front 
page.  Please?

(Tho unless it's directly in the main copy, I guess it'd still be two, 
since you have to click that weird icon with no actual words saying it's 
a menu, to open that, before you actually click what you want... *IF* you 
can actually find or guess what it's called... on the waaayyy too vague 
menu.)
