Hi @all,
I don't know how the Call this evening will work, so I thought i write this E-Mail with my Opinion first. (I'm also shy to talk in english). So everyone knows what I think (at least if i didn't forget something) I hope it's not a problem and see you this evening. 1. I think we should make Website wich sells a product. We want to "sell" LibreOffice. The User wants at first a little explanation if he doesn't know and a direct link to download. Not to the download Page, but directly the perfect Download for his system (Like Firefox). The whole Website is to heavy lifted with Text, we should think about the Main site as flyer. We have to cut the text in half and after that again in half. If the User wants a developed 100% Information about something we can implement a link to the wiki, where the original Information is placed. To summarize libreoffice.org > Productplacement (for example: http://macrabbit.com/espresso/) and the others implemented, but "separated" from the rest. But all the different Parts like Wiki and Forum should be accessible the whole time. An easy way to change from one to another part of our Web presentation. If this is made, the User sees directly if he joins the site from a specific link to the wiki or to the forum or ... That they are on the official Site and not another "private fork". Even Wiki's can be implemented in a design. Another thing is that we should do for each translation a Strict or a minimum List of what they should at least put on the site. It's a bit weird, that for example the german homepage has only texts and the english some links to the irc and other helpful informations. We should try to integrate the Website/Forum/Wiki in the same Design so that even us could change without Problems to the different parts 2. Website Team leadership and working groups I WANT TO BE THE LEADER OF THE WEBSITE TEAM - I WANT IT ALL... Just kidding :D I think we should have several working groups: (Each group isn't strict, but we should have at least 1 Person who is supervising the group and 1 Leader who supervises all the groupleaders/groups/things which are not sorted in groups - Content/Translate Team They are the ones wo decide which content will be on each site. - UI/UX/Graphics Team They are the ones wo say how the content will be organised - Coding Department They maintain the HTML'5'/CSS'3' code for the site and other little plugins we will use on the site. - QA and Different-things Team Testing and trying to find dead links,... - Wiki Team The Team which supervises the Wiki to improve it and makes sure that nobody makes "shit". I will join the UI/UX/Graphics Team and the "Coding Team", because I followed 3 years of studies and want to use what I learned. 5. The Wiki I think we should separate the Wiki from TDF. 1 Wiki for LO and 1 Wiki for TDF. This is an effect from my previous explanation. So TDF will have a site in his own design with his own Wiki. I think that the Foundation has other for the organization other problems then LO, even it's the same. I hope you understand the cutting between the 2 Wikis. Each Leader should be have "Admin Rights" for the site. 6. Social Networking I think the Social Networking is more of use for the Marketing Team. We should only implement script that posts different Blogs/Announcement especially to the Twitter account. We give the possibility for the Social Networks and the marketing team put the content in This tools like Twitter should be use for support, but i don't know if the Website Team is the best place for this. 7. Forum Is in my eyes much easier to follow discussions then a mailinglist. If we joine the mailinglist we have to search in our accounts and archives(if the mails are in time before we joined.) Also the Forum give a much easier place to give some support for Users. And if we gave already a fix or Tutorial for a User, other can use Google/Search it and we don't have to give them twice. 8. Drupal/Silverstripe Why bothering with 2? It will be much easier to work only on one system. We had some professionals from Drupal who like to help us to install/programm the Drupalsystem. I don't know how Drupal is suited for the Multilanguage Needs that we have. But if professionals from the Drupaldev's are helping us we can create a Plugin. 9. Support I will go further here to the things i didn't talked about earlier. FAQ's, Documentation and Training Ressources cand be put in a simplified version on the Website and for further Informations there will be a link to the wiki. 10. Idea Generation and management Don't understand this part..... 11. Contributing Statistics The Wiki shows what each Contributer does and he can put the Informations which Silverstripe/Drupal/Forum gives on to his personal User Page on the Wiki. Someone could make a Script which searches all the Informations automatically. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
