After almost one and a half years of existence, it’s time to think about a redesign of EOS Directory.  Not only feels the current design a bit old fashioned, there are also a number of usability aspects to be corrected. And not all the functionalities and features were really  successful.

We would of course appreciate input and feedback when  going for the redesign. So if you have good ideas on how to make EOS Directory more effective for you, then please drop us an email to eos@optaros.com.

We already have some ideas. Looking at the analytics for example it seems that more than 76% of all the users are having a browser with at least 1280 pixels in the horizontal, no need therefore to focus on 1024. We have even seen quite a significant number of people with more than 3000 pixels! There are few people with iPhones and the likes, but if we can easily do it, we will prepare a specially rendered access for small devices.

The focus in the redesign will be put on a more useful directory section while we will also improve the content around what makes Open Source enterprise ready.  We certainly will simplify the forum section and try to make user input simpler. We plan to add a newsletter and a project specific alert function.  We would also like to integrate some external data (e.g. ohloh, sourceforge and the likes) if possible.

But again, if you have good and implementable ideas, don’t hesitate to send us an email.  Thanks for your contribution
