Feedback request - Enigma activities web page

[Oscar Vermeulen]

This is just a mock-up (nothing functional, no design effort done yet) of what I think an Enigma activities page could be, after taking in input from Juergen. But feedback now or later is very much welcome!

I pretty much like the idea of these kinds of events and look forward to them! Just got my Enigma touch two days ago and happily decoded Jürgens exercise from the (German) manual.

The page design was a bit overwhelming for me. I didn't know where to look first, what is important & must read to participate vs. what is optional and nice to know.

Currently I have no idea how these contest will work, how I would be able to decode an encrypted message without all the machine's settings. But if the settings were given it would be a piece of cake for all.

So I assume some pieces of information will be missing. But how would we be able to find them?

And will there be different difficulty levels? Easy, medium, hard? That would be nice.

Because I think I will be slow in solving these kinds of puzzles I'd be happy to not know the solution of a puzzle even when it's already solved by someone. Let me solve it on my own in my own time.

Just the first thoughts ... 🤷‍♂️ 

Cheers,

Stefan.
