#Improving Packaging.Python.org

- If you do not see an effect after fixing the official site, consider the blogs, stack overflow,... and not only the actual content of the official site.
I guess the first step of that is ensuring the "official" documentation is clear and up to date, and allowing that to gradually percolate down. But if that doesn't work, I'm a little unsure what you're suggesting any of us here can actually do about it...?
- Getting directed to the official site was ,at least for me some time back and even a few python-contributor from what I saw (heck I think I saw Pypa-contributor here that did not know it existed), difficult. Getting the official site more popular than all the blogs and stuff will probably help a lot.
Yeah, that's a good point. Ensuring the content is up to date, clear and helpful, as well as maybe updating the theme (to e.g. Furo or Lutra, especially if the Python Docs also updates its to the same) will hopefully help draw more people, as well as pointing to it more heavily in Python's own docs (especially with the distutils removal). However, yeah there's likely some low-hanging-fruit SEO that can be done; I know @hexed merlin helped a lot with that on several of the core Python sites, so maybe a similar approach could be applied there.
Maybe add a section that takes the most popular wrong approaches (from a google search maybe) and how to convert them to the right approach.
Hmm, some kind of adapted form of that could potentially work; it would take some thought. Before adding more content, though, IMO it's best to first finish getting the house in order (that Henry and others started).
