Let's follow the KISS principle. The current download page are too cluttered with unnecessary junk confusing people, and a separation of links targeted at end users and contributors should have been implemented in the first place. End users are completely uninterested in SDK's or source code, so it makes no sense to have it there. In regard of AppUp, PortableApps, DVD images etc, we can have that, but more discretely in something like "Did you know that…" on the opposite side of the actual download links. We should also bring back the easy pull down menu's if the geolocation fails, and especially because this "solution" is horrible: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect. You might also want to look at phasing out SilverStripe CMS due to its severe limitations, as it really don't deliver what we expect from a CMS. Let's have a fresh and modern web site to showcase, and not something that looks like it was put together in a hurry for emergency reasons. -- Olav Dahlum PGP key ID: 0xA6BD1795 -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
