Feel free to make suggestions and corrections.
In general, I like this approach. As you mentioned in a note to
Nicu on this list, it's similar to the Wikipedia front page in
that it makes all the languages equal. This is a good thing.
But I have some questions and concerns. Is what you have here
intended to be the entire front page, or is it going to have some
other information at the side or top or bottom? I think it needs
a few words to say what OOoAuthors is. Casual visitors really
have no clue what this website is about until they click on a
language, and many will not do that.
Before this new front page goes live, we need to revise the
content of the pages it links to. Otherwise, people will get
dumped into the middle of things with no explanation of how they
can get involved. The easiest solution is to use a lot of the
material from the current front page on the new first pages of
the different language sections. What's on the current front page
can be easily revised for the first page of the English section,
and then translated for each of the other languages. I'd be happy
to work up a draft for the replacement English-section first page.
Janet has already mentioned the problem of the fonts that show up
as question marks.
Cheers, Jean
