hello, I prefer the 3 or the 2. I think for our user, the 3 is better.
We need to put too a short release notes for each new release. Elisa 2011/3/20 <[email protected]> > Hello, > > As mentioned in a former newsletter, we've been discussing with Elisa the > need of redesigning our download page and download links (in the page > header, above the side menu and in the homepage body). The idea is to have > people download the CD as quickly as possible and to avoid them wondering > about what to do to get DDL. Moreover, as we are adding more and more > languages, our download table is becoming quite difficult to read. > > Currently all download links are redirecting visitors to the download page, > which proposes all downloads available with a large explanation text. What > we discussed with Elisa is the following: > > * the download link could just propose to start the download (in the > language of the page you are visiting of course) > > * the download page could be split into a short page and a detailed page, > the short page would just propose the ISO/USB images of the page language, > the detailed one the full download table with all languages and versions > (officially supported and demo versions). > > As we want our visitors to be able to look for CD's of their language even > if there is no web page in their language, all download links should be > accompanied with a link to the detailed download page. Note that we may not > need the short download page if download links are offering to download the > CD and/or the USB version. In my mind there are then currently 3 > alternatives: > > 1. Download links are redirecting to a simple download page with the CD/USB > images of the page language only (English CD/USB in the English pages) > * Links say “Download in LANG now” → the short page, “Other languages” → > the detailed page > * The short page just contains 2 links to the ISO/USB image files + one > link to the detailed page + few explanations > * The detailed page is somewhat similar to the current download page with > full tables > > 2. Download links allow to directly download the CD/USB images of the page > language > * Links say “Download the CD in LANG now” → the CD file, “Download the > USB key in LANG now” → the USB file, “Other languages” → the detailed page > * The detailed page is somewhat similar to the current download page with > full tables > > 3. Download links allow to directly download *only* the CD image of the > page language > * Links say “Download the CD in LANG now” → the CD file, “Other media or > languages” → the detailed page > * The detailed page is mostly similar to the current download page with > full tables but the USB image file of the page language should be put alone > on top of the page > > The main drawback of the latest 2 solutions is that there is no > explanations with the direct download links. People who don't know how to > write an ISO won't know what to do with this file.
