[Scummvm-devel] ScummVm Website

[Pierre-Henri Lavigne]

Hi, the ScummVm team.

I'm Peter, a french web student. I'd like to work in a foreign  
country at the end of the year. So I propose my knowledges to  
friends / not-for-profit association in order to perform a  
professionnal portfolio. For now, I'm searching a volunteer job in  
the game world. I met _sev on your irc channel this afternoon and  
send you now my suggestions. Primarily I would renew code.

To my mind, here are some examples about what the ScummVm website  
needs (please take it easy) :

Code
Missing header informations about the content for search engines and  
screen readers
No separation between data and presentation : no standards compliant  
website
Table abuse
Bad uses of css
Alternative content required, i.e. Javascript link.

Presentation
I don't understand some stuffs.

Marketing
Promote ScummVm, i.e using screnshots (Send to a friend, etc...)
In the home page visitors don't know which game the random screenshot  
refers to.
Create the RSS feed for the news.
Use the header logo as a link to go home.
Use the header images i.e a shortcut to go to the list of supported  
games

etc....


The question is " Why do you need to have a standards compliant  
website ? "
The answer is " There are only plus : faster display, accessibility,  
ranking and indexation by search engines, easier to deploy and  
maintain,... "

Please contact me for any question. I will return to the irc channel  
this week. My nickname is Akeson.

Best Regards,
