The Ansible website does a poor job of quickly explaining what the technology does, who would use it, and why Ansible is better than alternatives.

In my humble opinion! 🙂

I just had a look at the websites for Puppet and Chef. They are terrible too!! That means there is an opportunity to be best…

Here’s some comparables that I think are good:

- Docker - [http://docker.io](http://docker.io)
- Angular - [http://angularjs.org/](http://angularjs.org/)

Thanks for Ansible - I am a huge fan - love the software and want it to be widely adopted.

I agree that there’s room for improvement. Any chance on getting the website hosted in github to allow for outside contribution? I’m a fan of [redis.io](http://redis.io) 's documentation in particular.

The source for the documentation is already on github, cd into docsite/latest/rst int he checkout.

As for the homepage?

No, not going to do that.
