> A pet peeve about projects like this is that the entire website talks about the software project, from a developer's perspective, and it's basically impossible to find out what the software does from a user's perspective
No, it talks about the developer community from the perspective of target members, because that is what it is the website for.
The projects, of which there are multiple, aren’t even mentioned, and it doesn’t appear that any of them are currently targeted on public users; on the projects page they have reference to two areas, a “Client Solutions Group” that is engaged directly with three food pantries for developing custom software for each pantry's needs, a “Common Services Group” building shared components to support those efforts, and a reference to “Other Projects” supporting the community website and infrastructure.
So, yeah, the community page isn’t an info page for prospective users since they aren’t trying to solicit users or making software that isn’t targeting people other than those they are directly engaged with for custom work.
