All,
As a follow-up to Michelle's earlier email about the splash page for
May, here is the current thinking for the launch.

Good stuff, Derek. Tweaks I would recommend are:
Remove "I want" or "I need" and start with a verb, e.g., Learn about
OpenSolaris, Get the source.
Thank Marty, good suggestion. I'll make this change in that landing page
links and see where it goes.
The idea is to introduce opensolaris.com as the place to download the
binary and to receive end-user help, with more substantial development
issues being directed to opensolaris.org.
Expanding on this, it makes sense to point individuals interested in
things other than source and contributing to projects to
opensolaris.com. That would put links to learn, help, download/use, on
the opensolaris.com side.
When a user clicks 'Download' they will go to the top of
opensolaris.com, which has the Learn and Help areas. Does this satisfy
your request? Let me know if I'm misunderstanding you.
Each of the links on the .org side would go to new landing page of
existing materials that Michelle is putting together.
We're doing something similar with an "OpenSolaris Initiative" for the
Sun Partner Advantage Program. This will be a place where information
about OpenSolaris from wide ranging sources are presented in a concise
and efficient manner. We're not necessarily creating new material, but
providing quick access to what already exists based on the individual's
or company interest
Right, I've heard you describe this before, please send along any
pointers or mockups you have, so we can all understand what an
'initiative' is/looks like.
Thanks in advance,
Michelle
The opensolaris.org graphic would take the user to the current .org home
page.
Any existing bookmarks to opensolaris.org/os/ would still be valid.
The opensolaris.com graphic will go to that home page, as shown here:

Comments welcome.
