Hi all,
It has been silent on this topic after some heavy discussion that I due
to a temporary status as unsubscribed to this list have missed. However,
I did receive some mails on the issue and have plans to spend some time
on it, thinking about it. I think it is a great opportunity to finally
put OOo on the map of a much larger audience.
Our current website is way too unfriendly to end users. However, to make
a new end-user website a success it is important to have good
requirements. I have added some requirements I thought are important to
the wiki page set up by Louis, but I hoped that many more of you would
follow.
I would like to see that the new redesign will be a design that is
something we can all be happy with presenting it to our brother in
architecture, your family member who works as a plumber, and your
grandmother, while not neglecting the specific demands of the community
(but to what extent is still open for discussion).

Louis set us a deadline for the end of September, and maybe we can still
get something on paper that can help him convince the Sun team that it
is worth investing in (this is kind of how I interpreted his message)
before this deadline. Any contribution is welcome, but please try to
keep discussion free of flames (including bashing the collabnet
infrastructure (it is not about technologies)), and respect
opinions/ideas of anyone (although this should not withhold anyone from
restructuring/optimizing the requirements). Thanks!
g.,
Maarten
