OK, thanks to everybody who spoke up! Let’s empower people to make these changes. We’ll start with the easy ones first.
@td_ and @alilleybrinker you both have opinions about the FAQ (mission 7). @alilleybrinker you suggested in the FAQ issue you would be interested in cleaning up the existing questions. Will you get started on that now, maybe also consolidating them into one document? @td_ perhaps you could put together an outline based off your research of what would make a good Rust FAQ.
@geofft You are the only person who spoke to the stability guarantee (mission 4). This is a great self-contained task that mostly just requires writing something pursuasive. Will you tackle this?
@lambda You have a lot of well-considered ideas about how to present examples (mission 6). It seems like the consensus is for multiple examples. Can you start pulling together a few key examples based on you and @alilleybrinker’s ideas in the corresponding issue, and thinking about how to integrate that into the front page? Perhaps @alilleybrinker will help with examples, and this is an easy thing to solicit opinions on via the forums.
With the variety of opinions about the front page, ISTM that working on just integrating a better example is a good starting point while we hash out other details.
Since there are many opinions about the critical front page, and several good suggestions have been made, I want to mull it over for another day before suggesting somebody start hacking.
OK, at this point missions 1 (front page), 4 (stability guarantee), 6 (examples), and 7 (faq) have stirred up some interest.
That means that mission 2 (community), mission 3 (contributing), mission 5 (docs), and 8 (downloads) all need passionate champions. The hour is nigh, Rustaceans. Come forth and claim your glory.
