Well, the main issue in such case is about
"Targetability"

Main page is supposed to be focused to any kind of newcomer, but "daily build"
is however a non-casual term so casual users can see it but they won't understand what
it means.
So "daily build" button should be moved to a page which is supposed to target
advanced users, or we should substitute the "daily build" in the main page to
something meaningful for a casual visitor (if we want them to try those). If we don't
want non-advanced visitors to try a "daily build" then the button is perfectly
placed.

But yes, this is a perfect case among many others: Pages duplicated with almost the same
info, pages not correctly sorted, /node/ links destroying our SEO, and wall of texts from
sXIX

They are sometimes so lost that they can’t find where to download daily builds (hint:
third button below the “download release” one on the front page ^^ )H. De : Ros-dev

Mmmm?
Event-tracking.com for?
Event tracking allows you to measure how users interact with the content of your website.
So basically, it is just an UI tracking. Nope, it was not used in the scripts for this
flow.
About implementing it in our current site so we can track how users gets lost in our
current website...well...we already know they get lost in redundant pages. 
It would have sense to add this script once the website is fully cleaned and properly
sorted, and since one idea is one responsability...yes...I'm preparing
"something" about the site. 
To be talked in our next Meeting and potentially finished in our ReactOS HackFest.
We can't release 0.4 with current site...

<[e-mail]>:Hi guys!

After a week dealing with several scripts and options, we're finally integrating the
most important info from Reactos.org and Community.reactos.org directly to our Social
channels to keep a constant flow of updates to our followers.

Since now our ReactOS Facebook and ReactOS Twitter will be automatically updated when...
... A Jira bugreport is resolved with a 'Fixed' and 'Cannot reproduce'
status.
... A blog post is published in "ReactOS.org"
... A blog post is published in "Community.ReactOS.org"

Some of the features:
- Updates are queued and published with a time gap between them, so in case, eg, a
Tester/Dev runs a Spring Cleanup, we won't be publishing 10 Jira reports in the same
minute.
- Facebook and Twitter updates include pictures in case the blog post or the Jira report
has one. So please add a picture in case you're blogging even if it is just a
screenshot of you running "whatever" in ReactOS.
- Includes #hashtags related to the current Jira/Blog report.
- Uses bit.ly shortener when needed.
- And several hidden Easter Eggs in Twitter...(I was bored in the train)

If you've any suggestions about other potential updates to be sent to our Social
Channels, just tell me and I'd try to integrate them in an automated way.

I'm planning a way to ease and have community contributions filtered and joining the
automated flow, but it'll have to wait until I master Drupal. Also I'm working in
some "crossposting" among our Social Channels, so a direct post in Facebook not
coming from our PR Update System is replicated in Twitter and the other way around.

We can be really proud of the current PR Update system implemented, since probably it even
beats several bigger opensource projects and/or companies out there. 

If you didn't join our Twitter or Facebook yet, please feel free to join:
