How about presetting the fields according to the autodetected values,
where possible?
actually I've planned this when the green and grey box will be combined
but ...
Then if the auto-detection works for some of the fields it will reduce
the work for the user.
Also if the autodetection works, but the user wants to download for a
differnt OS or language it also reduces the work.
... this is reasonable enough to implement it in the grey box first.
Also for our tests so far. Will try to set this up.
BTW, it might perhaps be worth adding a link to the screen so people
can report auto-detection failures.
This could be a ? link like the "What is the difference between full
install ..." but instead invites the user to visit the browser
detection test page.
Do you mean this page?
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/analyze.html
If so, then yes, could be.
On OS X Safari and Chrome auto-detect as US English.
Then it could already help to get 2 outputs from the page above. ;-)
Please would you? Just copy & paste the table without formatting as
plain text.
Only Firefox correctly detects as British English
In all 3 cases the OS type is correctly recognised.
Great. :-)
Thanks for your comment.

I've done some further work.
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_droplist.html
What is working:
- Filesizes are shown for selected full install + langpack.
- Checksum links are shown for selected full install + langpack.
- When choices are done a little help icon is shown. Click on it to get
to a help text for "full install vs. langpack".
- Some release data is shown like in the green box.
What is not yet working:
- The version dropdown box has no effect yet but it shows already how
it could work (likely).
- I've not tested with all browsers. So, maybe something is not working.
What are the next steps:
- Reduce the additional links in the green box and re-work in the right
hand nav bar - delete duplicates, change order/positions, delete if
not needed here, etc.
In general, this should result in a clean-up.
- Make the version drop-down box work to choose from older releases.
After that I'll publish a new update to the webpage and go on with your
further comments and suggestions.
So, please have a look and don't hesitate to comment.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your input.
A few of them (delete some obviously not needed text, make the choice
order of the drop-dwn boxes irrelevant) are already committed. But the
most need more time.
Please don't expect to have this full-featured for the AOO 4.1.0
release. I need more time to do all this. Luckily the need work-free
days are coming. :-)

Hi all,
while enjoying the Easter time I made some progress about a long-term
problem:
- Downloading the offered file via the green box is fast and easy
- Downloading a different file than the offered is not
Via the big table on the "other.html" is now easy to maintain for us but
has no improvement for the user as it is large and complex.
Therefore I've thought of making another offer directly on the main
download webpage:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_droplist.html
Please don't look too close to look& feel - sure the grey color is not
the best one ;-) - this can and will be improved for sure.
For now please have a look for the functionality via the drop-down boxes
and the then created links below them.
What do you think? is this a direction we can/should go in general?
Or do you have complete different thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Marcus
