[libreoffice-website] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] The LibreOffice website

Hi Drew, all

(I'd like to have a follow-up on the website list - please remove 
marketing@LibO when replying, if you are subscribed there too)

I've been told when I asked for access to marketing.libreoffice.org that 
this area is not going to become active, because there has been a 
decision on the structure I haven't been involved and I don't know if 
this is an official decision of TDF or the website team:

The website should only contain information for our users, while all 
other content - for contributors, community activities and anything else 
- should be presented at the wiki.

I'd rather like to see official marketing and design material (for 
journalists, contributors, designers, website admins and so on) on the 
website, while material waiting for official approval, drafts and ideas 
should be hosted on the wiki.

This would allow creative activity in the wiki while keeping a 
consistent branding in the way and the resources we communicate to the 
outside.

Of course we don't need to call the website area "marketing" or 
"design", perhaps "resources" or a dedicated tab in "download" might be 
appropriate.

The present area "trademark" on the "Project" tab seems not to be the 
right place in my eyes.

I imagine not only logos, but web buttons and banners, posters and 
handouts, presentation templates (stating "created with LibreOffice") 
and other material to be used by users and promoters (the press kit 
could be placed there too IMHO), while more resources can be reached 
after logging in: branding elements, templates for official project 
presentations, business cards (stating "LibO community member" after 
approval as contributor) and so on.

Even if I don't have much time, that's the area I already wanted to 
start during the last weeks.

Any help is highly appreciated!

But at first we should decide on the structure.

Best regards

Bernhard
