The talk[1] from Keith Edmunds gave me some inspiration, why Debian needs to change its home page. I like to share my thoughts about improvements of the Debian home page without changing the design in the first step. I started by cleaning up the content and removed a lot of links.

I will show a prototype and explain what I’ve changed and why.

The audience are people working on the web page and designers who could do this much better than I can do.
