Hmm - you did enlarge the horizontal width of the download-box, didn't
you? This wastes space and makes the explanations look "more" since more
line-wrapping occurs and the right column needs more vertical space.
I'd rather reduce the horizontal width of the download-box.
Well no...I didn't as a matter of fact. I don't know what's going
on here to cause this to happen. ???
Well...I attempted to do some rewording in the first para to
actually tell people what's going on without going into detail on
what version they'll find if they hop to a NL site.
Well - the page claims to do a "immediate" redirection to the nl-site,
but it directs them to the contributing-page first. So the sequence is
"download-central", pick NL -> contributing-page -> nl-donwload-site ->
localized contributing-page (at least for german).
Also the wording "native language implementation" sounds weired to me.
But I don't have a better wording right now..
Also, rearranged items in the right hand column -- I personally
feel peopel should actually READ the "System Requirements" and
"Installation Instructions", and moved the info about Language
packs down with the Dictionary info since, to may anyway, it
seems to belong there.
By moving it to the top, you're rendering the "documentation" section
worthless (almost).
So...what does anyone think?
Move the Point "Documentation" to the top, list The System Requirements
and installation instructions there (don't split
installation-instructions and setup guide over different sections either
remove the Setup-Guide (and link it from the installation-instructions
page) or add it to the same place where the installation-instructions
are listed). And System-Requirements usually go along with the
Release-notes, so make these a single item.
move "installation information" below the documentation section.
OK
And I'd change "Languages" to "Language Packs and other localisations"
and move the last point to the one mentioning the language packs since
you direct the user to the NL-communities in both cases and the two
points now are in the same-section anyway.
My goal is to keep things
relatively simple so peopel get don't scared away with too much
information, and decide OOo is just too complicated to download.
Well, now I have to scroll to see all the info (because of the bigger
width of the download-box), this kind of nullifies the efforts to make
it look/feel simpler :-)
Well take a look at the original page! I guess I'm not seeing
QUITE the change you are with the download box size. The original
page involves more scrolling for me.
On the other hand, I want to give them enough information so they
don't come here and feel lost.
