Hello artists, website and marketing experts, (sorry for crossposting, but as wiki seems to be down I try to reach everybody interested and skilled in this cross-project topic - please reply on [EMAIL PROTECTED], if possible.
I included [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I hope this information is worth spreading through the native-lang communities and probably all subscribers of [EMAIL PROTECTED] read [EMAIL PROTECTED] too)
I'd like to ask you to contribute your ideas (and skills ;-) ) for the design of the why.openoffice.org starting page. As John McCreesh told you in his announcements of the new web area [1] we want to create something to tell people the reasons to use OpenOffice.org (and to contribute to the project). It's starting page will have to be simple, comprehensive, informative, stunning - and attract people to click on the links presented there. There have been some ideas for this page and web area spread over different lists and the wiki, but we'll have to combine our efforts from website, art and marketing point of view to get an optimal result. Attached to Issue 64643 [2] John and myself tried out some first design ideas just to find out how the "Why" homepage could look like. Now it's up to you to join us: _Marketing_: Are these the informations that should be presented on the main page? In addition to the drafts we'd like to include a pop-up list with links to translations of this page and a link to informations about the community and how to join. _Website_ (and Marketing of course): How should these informations be presented to attract the visitor (e.g. decision makers of multitude origin) most? Relative sizes, positions, colors? _Art_: The page should be impressive from the artist's POV too - so join in with comments and ideas. For creating a set of graphics/icons wrt the subpages I'm going to send another mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ideas collected here will be presented in the wiki [3], where we try to coordinate this task without the limitations of working in different projects. Feel free to add your proposals and comments there - I hope it will be up again soon. We *do* have all this expertize inside our projects - so let's use it together!
