Hi Alexandro,
This design has the disadvantage that it looks completely different to
the original and to most of the local pages.
We should avoid to use a single face on the main page, it can be easily
identified as politically incorrect.
I am missing prominent pointers to the OO.o projects , to the My Pages
and to the localized pages.
There is no pointer to the localized pages. We should also consider to
add a pointer to document templates because this is what the many users
are looking for and it has the advantage that more user returning to the
page.
When we are using screenshots as on this page, we should display the
application window only and should use more than one platform, when more
than one screenshot is used. One of the biggest advantages is the
platform independence of OO.o.
Regards
Kay

Hello all,
I've tried to create a new mockup for openoffice.org. What do you
think about this? As always, images can be changed, everything can
be changed :-)

I am not a fan of the floating screenshots. I think they look jagged
and not very clean for a frontpage. Is there somehting more
recognizable that we can get in. Maybe just having the icons of OOo
which are SVG so the clarity will be excellent.
Also from a marketing perspective is not good to have a frown face guy
on the cover of the a product we want to sell people into. Usually
smiling people is more recomendable. Maybe a face of a guy actually
'getting it' would be better.
Finally from an internationalization perspective, avoid having english
text on graphics. This is not good idea if we want to have a similar
page in other language. The text will become a big hassle to localize
since is a bitmap as opposed of an actual source.
It's quite good but the images themselves seem to compete for eye
attention. I'd suggest a stronger central image (for download),
disappear the hapless man with the briefcase.
What about tabs? Do others have views?
Maarten, Kay? Cloph? Matthias?
Have a nice day,
Filip Molčan
