Hi,
two weeks ago I promised to get more involved into the front page
discussion. In order to have something to start with, I made a proposal
that tries to bring the suggestions mentioned at
http://en.opensuse.org/Frontpage_redesign/List_of_Proposal_Pages
together:
Splash screen for www.opensuse.org:
http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash.html
Home page for en.opensuse.org:
http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/home.html
Please note that these pages have not been optimized for different
browsers, yet - I have developed them on Firefox, so they are "Best
viewed with Firefox" ;-)
Some explanations:
Splash screen:
It's intended to resemble the 10.1 installation boot screen. The
background image is courtesy of Jakub Steiner (thanks a lot).
Home page:
I picked up jdd's suggestion to simplify the navigation. The top
navigation now is entirely dedicated to one topic - "Participation" in
my proposal.
Apart from the wiki toolbox and the language menu, the left nav now only
contains one section which holds the 7-9 most important links.
In moving the page's headline into the top of the page I tried to seize
jdd's suggestion to make more efficient use of the space at the top of
the page and to separate the logo from the left nav (to me it now looks
more as being part of the top of the page rather than of being part of
the left nav).
The content (center) part of the page is based on Rabauke's proposal
(The German Proposal).
If you want to experiment with the html/css yourself, get all files from
http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/
Please let me know what you think.
BTW: Please note that changes within the content area only affect the
home page. Changes to top nav, left nav and footer affect all wiki
pages.
Every link that is present on the front page (regardless where it is)
also affects the wikis in other languages - it is my belief that the
pages that are linked to from the homepage should be part of "must be
translated" set.
Very nice! Clean, clear and attractive. The only suggestion I might
make is to include [[openSUSE:Browse]] somewhere as a navigational
entry point to the wiki.
Again, nice work, thanks for the effort.
