Well, the easiest thing to to ist to look for a page that in your opinion needs some love. Then drop a short notice that you want to work on that page (maybe indicating your proposal for that page) on this list and start working on it. > So maybe I should first give you some information about myself, my name > is Franz, also known as Frando, and I'm living in Germany (maybe this is > the right time to say sorry for my sureley improvable English). You can also help in improving the web-appearance of the german-lang project.

The website redesign affects mainly the "static" areas of the page (the banner, the tabs) and the frontpage (www.openoffice.org) The current status can be seen here: https://www.sc40.sfo.collab.net/ Basically this redesign is done, however there are still many pages you can work with. You may have read the post about the new?-page. This is a very important page (that only exists as a draft yet) See this thread: http://website.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=sc40&by=thread&from=835724 But basically you can choose any page you can improve, drop a short notice at the relevant mainling-list and upload your suggestion somewhere. > I saw the redesigned top-nav-bars in the CVS repository, is such stuff > still needed? No, the tabs are "final". > What else has or could be done? Well - look out for pages you don't like. If a maintainer is listet, mail the maintainer your suggestion/improvement. If you can come up with some nice Icons for various topics, these are welcome as well (see http://www.openoffice.org/contributing.html for one of the few pages that use some icons) HTH, ciao Christian -- NP: Limp Bizkit - The Only One --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
