I love Ansible but I have a little bit of a complaint with the new website. The website used to be very focused on the product and how to get going fast. Now it seems more enterprisey with all of the major links on the frontpage linking to the solutions page which have way too much content for someone who isn't attached to the product yet. It seems almost more geared towards the business folks rather than the devops people like before. What I like about Ansible is that it gets you up running fast. Now, I have to spend a lot more time digging through the website to figure out what Ansible actually is. Even under Products, Ansible isn't there there. Instead, it lists Ansible AWX which makes very little sense w/o knowing Ansible first.
The documentation is still great and gets you going fast. I think the focus on the website with the Technology vs Solutions vs Products categories is uninviting to your core audience. Perhaps the reason for all of this is because Ansible != AnsibleWorks which makes sense. If that's the case though, I would recommend splitting up the two websites like 10gen did with Mongo ( http://www.10gen.com/ http://www.10gen.com/ vs http://www.mongodb.org/ http://www.mongodb.org/ ). If you look at Mongo's site, it's very much straight to the point. However, 10gen's site is more focused on the business side of things.
Anyways, you guys are doing a great job with the actual project. See you around.
