Thanks for your interest in Debian website :-)

You should probably start reading http://www.debian.org/devel/website/
as a introduction.

There is a list of bugs at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=www.debian.org;dist=unstable

Some are about design, some more about perl code.

If you can build the page once fixed, send the patch.

http://www.debian.org/devel/website/todo (a bit outdated :/)

About design, Kalle is working on a new design:
http://wiki.debian.org/KallesDesign | http://kalleswork.net/projects/debian/

I hope you fill find something you are interested in :-)

#debian-www on irc.debian.org as well.

Bug in web site


There is not a clearly labeled feedback link for people to tell you what 
an awesome job you've done in creating this release.  Please fix this 
immediately or I'll be forced to make a youtube video.
