Re: [libreoffice-design] New Theme for new Extensions-Template-Site: Current Status

Hi Andreas,

not sure if you got replies. So a few thoughts on my part: I don't like it. There are too many 
colors, fonts (size and style), areas that I get a clue what it stands for. Sorry for the harsh 
criticism, but I'm German :-). Seriously, it might be a good start point for discussions.

* I guess this page is intended to provide extensions, but templates as well?
* Is it supposed to be opened primarily from LO start center? 
* What use case do people follow? (You provide so far 1. Filter (app, version, rating) 2. Submit 
and 3. Browse sort of inspiration (most recent, most popular...). In this respect, where do users 
start? (Navigation through your page should start top left and go tho bottom right)
* Is there access to different sites? (Home tab, Search input). 
* Do you want to be international?
* Are there different tasks/use-cases and if so which is there a preference?

Starting with a vision, scenario, and requirements makes the creation of a layout easy later. For 
instance, if <5% of the users do not know what log-in is good for this function could be hidden by 
moving it into a menu. Having a consistent layout and branding (libreoffice.org) makes the page 
familar and feel users at home.

Hope that helps,
Heiko.

PS: White on (toxic) green is not easy to read. Green (background) and blue (links) bites each 
other.
