what a long thread ... I was few days away, came back and ... ;-)
Because this long thread is based on my mail, which I sent to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I would like to specify few things about my idea
about promotion site.
This site should be small, fast and this site should contains few
pages about:
o why the user should use OO.o
o FAQ
o other users experience
o links to all articles from newspapers and online media
o how to switch from Microsoft Office
o buttons and HTML codes how to propagate OpenOffice.org
http://firefox.czilla.cz/propagace/
o download stuff
Very good example of this site is located here:
o http://firefox.czilla.cz/
I know, it's in Czech, but you can see that this site contains few
pages and the most important info about Firefox. This site
should be created for newcomers only - come and learn basic facts
about OpenOffice.org, read answers to FAQ, read others experience,
media comments, learn how to switch from MS Office, see where to
download and finally, how to help with propagation. That's all,
nothing more, nothing less (no forums, no colaboration corners,
...). Simple and effective promotion.
You can say that we have www.OpenOffice.org site. I know, but this
is too complicated for newcomers and you have to spend lot of time
when you're searching info mentioned in the previous paragraph.
It looks like that the best way is to place this site at
www.OpenOffice.org. I was thinking about this little bit and now,
I think it's not good idea. With this change you can brake - links,
bookmarks, ... and the 'static' front page can discourage people
from future visiting ...
Look at this page again:
o http://firefox.czilla.cz/
The bottom-right corner contains small block for english
visitors. Finally we can connect all these site in this way:
o promotion site (site we are discussing now)
-> www.openoffice.org
-> local promotion site in the block, based on the
language from the browser, if no info from the browser or
there is no local promotion site -> no link
o local promotion site
-> back to the english promotion site with the same corner for
english visitors
-> links to all other local activities (forums, ...)
I think that we have missing this site. Then, promotion site will be
for newcomers and the *.openoffice.org will be for more experienced
users and programmers.
This is my whole idea with more details, hope, it's clear now.
Regards,
Robert
