[LEDE-DEV] [Frontpage] Stuff that cannot be found since switch to wiki software

[Stijn Segers]

Hi Thomas,

I already provided one of the links in my e-mail. Upon closer 
inspection, it's the only link that didn't make it. I have an old 
checkout here of the Jekyll frontpage, where there was a direct 
'Development' link to text containing how to submit patches. It is a 
pity to see that buried under a generic 'Documentation' > 'Developer' > 
'Submitting patches'. It took one click before, now takes three, yet 
it's one of the most important things for a project like this.

Stuff like this should be easy to find, if people don't know their way 
around the homepage and only find it with a lot of digging, that means 
it's very well hidden. More importantly, it means they just might say 
'F it'. I just saw now there's also a link in the text body of the home 
page, but that only adds to my point: such a link should be visible and 
intuitive; at this point, it is not.

Thanks for considering this.

Stijn


P.S. Please use 'reply all' :-)
