Hi Christian, and others,
I make a summary of the points made so far.
Related link: http://website.openoffice.org/tryouts/cloph/options.html
__TODO SHORTTERM______
(would be nice to solve this before page is uploaded)
- Remove mentioning WindowsJRE, and add an estimated additional filesize
for the JRE bundled versions (Maarten proposed this and would favour
this, Christian does not mind, does anyone else have objections?)
- Change 'Download version with bundled JRE' to 'Download version with
bundled Java Runtime Engine (JRE)'
- Decide on whether bold (or strong) is good for options. (Maarten
disagrees with making the options <strong>. This is not regular
behaviour, and makes the options more important than they actually are.
The options are quite prominent already of itself, and don't need more
attention, Christian thinks it does need <strong> however.
- Put 'explain this option' between brackets (Maarten preferred this,
Christian does not care)
- Start 'manual Mirror-selection' with a capital M, and no capital M for
mirror. (Both Maarten and Christian agree on this point)
- Make the whole download box clickable (where the hand is), just like
the very current download page. (Christian does not think it's makes
much of a difference, James and Maarten however do (possibly James only
because there is a hand-cursor (removing this would the least that could
be changed according to Maarten))
- Add somewhere a version of the JRE. (point made by Sophie) Maarten's
suggestion: Add it to 'explain this option'-text, just add the version
number between brackets somewhere after JRE. Will be updated manually
every release (point made by Alex)
____LANGUAGE ISSUES______
(Maybe a native English speaker could give his or hers input on this one)
- Subtitle indifference needs to be solved. Current proposals sofar:
'English-language-downloads' [current one]
'OpenOffice.org in other languages than English' [maarten] (Christian
would like to emphasize on what is to be downloaded, instead of the
other way around)
'OpenOffice.org in languages other than US English' explaining also
the availability of a Brittish English version, followed by another
subheading 'US English versions of OpenOffice.org' [james]
- 'Other versions: ' or 'other versions: '
__TODO LONGERM______
(doesn't need to be solved very quickly)
... (hmmm... empty list? too good to be true... :s
__TO VERIFY______
- Contribution page will be skipped when there is a contribution page on
the page where it leads to, will, and can, be set on a per-link basis.
- Grouping will stay as is. Maarten argued at first grouping is obsolete
when 3 groups contain in total only 4 items. Christian couterargues PPC
Linux won't take that long. Maarten does not care much
- The other operatingssystems (FreeBSD, MacOSX) will only get 'Other
versions: ' (maarten prefers capitalizing first letter for only
aesthetic reasons)
- Not to implement: It would be more user friendly (maybe only to a more
tech oriented audience) when the javascript would also make the href
contents of the <a> element change (containing a link to the next page)
which is more accessible. Currently 'open in new tab' clicking on the
link leads to an empty page referring to a javascript function in the
location-bar. (maarten does not mind this option very much, christian
argues it might not even be possible, since the URL is generated
dynamically, Maarten would counterargue that the URL's could already be
generated beforehand, like the server URL).
