Session notes:
We'd like to get developer.
Developer.
=======
* Information resource for developers creating OSS / proprietary apps build ON Ubuntu
* Community site for sharing information / interaction for application developers
* Entry point into the distribution for OSS/ commercial proprietary apps
Current status
===========
* We want it to be an official Ubuntu site, so it needs to follow the Ubuntu guidelines
* Feedback:
- The front page looks too empty
- Should we add "What's new"?
- Develop and Create might be merged?
- Shall we add events? E.g. uds
* Ideas:
- Not rewriting existing documentation, but short introductory tutorials with pointers
- Add a "Porting" section with guides on how to port applications from other platforms
- Add minimal information on the scope of the page: app development
- But some minimal info on packaging
- Provide guidelines for writing articles
- WP plugins to automatically create links in articles
* Scope the objectives for this cycle and refine them
- Some ideas
* Bring d.u.c in-line with design guidelines. (check out the API docs)
* Refine the content in d.u.c so it is ready for wide release.
* Engage community input in participating in creating content for d.u.c and filing bugs at https:/
- How can the community submit articles?
- How can these articles be reviewed?
* Other:
- Steve George: the current d.u.c was done by the Web team, Yaili did it I think
* Discuss next steps
- Improve information architecture
- App submission process integration?

mhall119, chrisjohnston, you were asking where the d.u.c theme was hosted to see if it could be merged with the community Wordpress themes. Here it is:
- https:/
There is also a more generic Wordpress one you might want to have a look at as well:

Marking some of yaili's items as POSTPONED, as we're going to work on a new theme instead of fixing the current one
