Hi Graham (please scroll down for reply to Viktor's email), > The thing that concerns me is that thee seems to be more and more "Stuff" > getting onto the page.
That's why this message was posted here - to determine just how much stuff is needed. I think the navbar would be useful for more frequent visitors. It would also ensure consistency with other pages that will be using the same header graphic - pages where a navbar would be necessary. The footer is one area where there definitely should be some pruning, however I don't know if every page must have a link to the terms of use and the Sun smallprint - someone on this list probably will. If someone is looking for press releases, which action statement do they click if there is no footer? Because the marketing project deals with press releases, its members should to decide whether a link to this information is important enough for the homepage (and I assume it might be). The other links are debatable - probably unnecessary, but those decisions should be made either collectively or by someone who can say exactly why they need to/should be there. > I must admit that I'm partial to the explanatory subtitles as well, however > they have to be informative but short. More of a subheader than an > explanation. Think of it like a "Positioner" for the page that it's aimed > at. It has to "sell" the link. This could work well - could you try writing up with a few of these subtitles so we have a starting point? "OOo Oldie? Upgrade or update, right here, right now" Upgrade or update will likely be one and the same to the user, and this completely ignores the first-time-user, who may not necessarily download from the why.openoffice.org, or who may have already heard about it and just wants to download it - how about putting in something related to 'switching' as well? Viktor, > About 'your next office upgrade', it eliminates individual home user. ALL text and content on that page is up for debate. I'm sorry if I didn't make this clear - the content on there was put there by me, and the purpose of this discussion is for the wider community to initiate the decision making process - the textual content (all links, subtitles, text, etc) there is NOT meant to be indicative, or to influence what the final product will look like. The positioner, the footer, the subtitles and even the navbar are all up for changes or removal.
