Thanks for the proposal! Some comments: * Nice overall! :) * I don’t like too much having 2 buttons: Try + Download. I would prefer having a single one that would lead to a page offering 2 options: Using XWiki Hosted or Downloading and install XWiki. 2 reasons for this: ** it’s completely not obvious which one to use without explanations. If I want to try xwiki by downloading it locally, which button do I click? ** we currently link to the download page in lots of places. This means that everywhere we’ll need to have 2 buttons. That’s a pain * I don’t like the word “Try” used with the 2 buttons because it implies it’s a test. Some users may want to test xwiki but they can do so by downloading the standalone packaging for example. However if I don’t want to try XWiki but use it (using a hosted solution), which button do I use? ==> I’d prefer having a single button. Now the complexity would be in choosing the name for that button. I have proposed “Use XWiki” in the past, which then would offer the 2 options: Have an XWiki hosted for you to use, Download and install XWiki to use. Even though I don’t like “Try XWiki” too much, at least having a single button is more correct since you’d be presented with the various options to “try" XWiki. * XWiki SAS is offering several options: cloud with XCS but also hosted. * I’d put the number of active committers next to each company name, as we do on the download feedback page. * Small detail: the term XWiki shouldn’t be used by other companies as is since it conflicts with the XWiki distribution but I guess you put that just as an example. However other companies may not have a product. They could simply be offering hosted services for XWiki. We’ll see when the time comes. * For myxwiki.org, we probably need to mention that it’s a real life test instance for the xwiki devs and comes with no warranty of uptime and no support. WDYT?
