Re: [libreoffice-design] Discussion about Extensions-Site-Layout

Hi all,

it is already 1:30 am, so wildly jumping into the discussion ... :-)

I also second Nik's request for several reasons. Furthermore, I'd like
to add that the current logo needs an enormous amount of space that eats
away space for the actual content of the page. I would even suggest to
make the pages close to the default LibreOffice site, so that users feel
at home (whilst knowing where to look for the logo).

By the way, I know that you explained to me that its not possible to
combine the Extensions and the Templates page ... so an idea for the
future. The "X" could also be used for "LibreOffice E*x*tras" covering
both topics.

The question to me is, what arethe most important tasks on the website?
I guess ...
     1. Getting extensions / templates ... so users should get an
        initial idea (so showing e.g. the most recent or best rated
        items -> from here, people should be able to get further
        collections)
     2. Getting information about LibreOffice (to know that this is an
        official page, to get information about "us" if the user
        approaches the page by accident)
     3. Upload their own content (this needs refinement as well ...)

Our interest might also be to: ask for donations.

Personally, I consider this a starting point for further "User oriented"
changes.

By the way, there are many categories to chose from (on the Templates
page). It might be helpful if we could consider the survey results what
people do with LibreOffice / OOo to make finding items easier. Does that
sound interesting?

Cheers,
Christoph
