You could reword it ot "OOo download selection (stable Version)" > Hmmmm...it might be > better to take out the NL dropddown altogether and just direct > people to the NL sites with a caveat that the most recent version > might not be available for the language of their choice -- yet. > This is an easy JS fix. Hmm - I don't think this is a good choice.. Selecting a language different than english takes you to the corresponding NL-download site anyway - so a notice should be placed there, not on the main-dl site. The NL project may choose to offer an RC for download, although not officially "approved" because of missing QA or something. > OK, Happy Holidays and let me know what you want to do with this > revision if anything! +1 for the new revision, esp. grouping the documentation-stuff to a seperate section makes it less confusion (reduce the number of links to choose from, make it easier to spot the one you're looking for) But this can be sanitized (e.g. the installation instructions are both listed in the general section and again in the documentation-section (with different link-texts)) - similar is true for the release-notes and system-requirements. I suggest to make those a single list-item. So remove "System requirements" & "Installation Instructions" from the "Installation Information" section and move it to the point "Documentation". Documentation * <link>Release Notes</link> & <link>System requirements</link> * <link>Installation Instructions</link> & <link>Setup-Guide (pdf)</link> * <link>User Guide</link> Apart from that, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the wording of the list-item "Languages: For language packs, please check the Native Language Community supporting the language of your choice" I don't think a newbie will understand what is meant by this. Maybe one could reword it to "Languages: You can add more languages to your installation using Language Packs. For more details please check the <link>Language Pack Overwiew</link>." That other page should state that languagepacks are not needed to write texts is other languages, that it includes support for UI-language and Help (and that spelling-dictionaries, thesauri, hyphenation patterns have to be downloaded seperately using DicOOo) and that you need to have a full-version (of any language) installed to use a language pack. It think this is too much to put to the download-page itself, so I'd vote for a seperate page. (And AFAIK, there is only one download-location for language packs, namely oootranslation.services.openoffice.org - so you don't need to redirect the users to the native-lang-community (which is again a term that newbies probably don't understand). > ps. I have noticed that the bulleting on the OOo site is pretty > ugly with respect to spacing...huge indents! Hmm - cannot confirm that... (what bullteting did you use?) http://de.openoffice.org/doc/howto_2_0/office/multimedia_linux.html uses default <ul><li></li></ul> style and looks good (IMHO). But surely it depends whether you want a List embedded in some other text or as the only content below a caption... (so "huge" is relative...) ciao Christian -- NP: System Of A Down - P.L.U.C.K. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
