That's right, but this is exaclty the reason why having it on the front-page is not desireable. I thought the general agreement is "target the front page for end-users/newbies". > Let's say we add to Development landing page two buttons: > > * Contributing Code > * Contributing Other Works > > With the bottom one sending people to "Contributing" pages. > > The top tab could then read, "Contributing." > > But that makes it one step more difficult for those who are not already > developers of OOo to find out how to become such.

Developer sounds like "pages restricted to developers" (what it currently is). So the opposite makes more sense: Have the tab read "Contributing" and link http://www.openoffice.org/contributing.html This page already has the "programming" as well as "other ways". The current developer-page is more suitable for a "ressources" section. ciao Christian -- NP: Dritch - Weakness --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
