[Fwd: Re: [dissent-tech] Proposed changes to website]

[tabitha747 at riseup.net]

We didn't feel the same ( although admittedly we didn't ask around loads
but we did ask some others).  If you have been involved in the web site as
it has evolved it does all make sense and i'm also quite used to the site
now, but coming to it from the outside we think its confusing and very
busy and the structure isn't necessarily logical as it has kind of just
evolved over time.  Lots of people won't want or be able to spend time
searching and exploring the website so as an information resource its
essential that it is easily accessible for all.  Please take time to read
through and imagine the changes

> Actually I am not quite understanding why to change the webpage, it
looks fine to me the way it is and the current proposals seem to me even
more confusing than present state.
