I don't know if the language names need "spicing up", but if you
insist, I guess you can look at introducing some kind of button
style for the language links, ideally matching our website looks
(other parts of the documentation follow our websites visual style
as well).<br>
<br>
I acknowledge it's a common thing to use flags to represent
languages, but IMO, it's bad practice.<br>

<div>The language names are present below the flags and just
having their names on a blank page doesn't look appealing. Any
thoughts of how to spice it up if we were to only use the
language names.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is quite common for flags to be used as language
representatives, like for example in the keyboard layouts
panel plugin as alternative for language name abbreviations.</div>

<div>Here is my idea of what the docs homepage
could look like, in two variations.<br>

<div>Hi Team,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We had the meeting yesterday which
Sean, Bernardo, Stephen, and I attended,
where we discussed our plans to improve
the documentation. Various meeting minutes
were put into the main google doc[1] and
we plan to meet once a week to discuss
things to keep the pace of work going
forward. Each week we'll be working on a
single docs page/chapter, in a google doc
I prepare, so that we all have a central
place to collaborate on its improvement,
and can also reach out to the community to
contribute to. At each meeting we'll
review the page's edits and finalize it
and then it will be copied over to the git
repo.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sean will be investigating various
options to make it easier for contributors
to help keep the docs up to date. A
telegram group[2] has been created for
those that want to be involved and we can
bridge it with a #xubuntu-docs irc channel
if there are those wanting it.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for this week, we'll be improving
the main documentation homepage[3] in this
google doc[4]. During the meeting we
agreed upon these changes</div>
<div>* As this page is not translated, the
useful parts of the contents of this page
will move to the Table of Contents (ToC)
page, so that it can be translated.</div>
<div>* The page would become just a language
selector which leads to the translated ToC
page.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>People can suggest ideas of how this
language selector page can look in the
google doc[4] or on the mailing list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
