Hi,
a few days ago there have been some complaints about the new project
home page being English only (www.opensuse.org). Since this issue is
still open I'd like to restart the discussion (not without adding my 2
cents first, of course ;-) ).
Summary of the previous discussion:
* new homepage is English only - this is a step back
* new homepage should honour the browser's locale
or
a world map splash screen should be added
My 2 Cents:
* The new Home page mainly consists of
- three slogans (Get It / Discover It / Build It)
- three fixed terms (Download / Wiki / Build Service)
- and a sentence explaining what the project is about.
It probably doesn't make sense to translate the slogans and the
phrase "Build Service" also do not think that translations
for "Wiki" exist. "Download" is probably understood by every person
using the internet. So it really boils down to translating the
sentence about the project. I am really not sure whether this is
really important. However, this sentence hadn't been there before, so
I do not agree that the new homepage is a step back in this regard.
