In this case I think the German page is the older one. (the English one changed some time ago, but the German doesn't follow) I would like to have a page where links are easy to find. and not clicking Dokumentation -> Benutzer Dokumentation -> Start für neue Benutzer ....and so on. Clicking Dokumentation must show up the main topics. I don't want to worry about questions like "is it a Novell, a SUSE, a User or something else documentation". I want to find the topic I was looking for. So even the FAQs and things like these must be easy to find.

Don't know for real. I'm used to look on the German site. If I don't find it there I switch to the English site and this happens very often. > I personnally think than simplicity must be the key and that > the front page must be simpler than whats it is now.

I think developers and translators should be able to read English documentation. But.... the links should work. They don't on the de-site.
