[libreoffice-website] Re: [tdf-discuss] main LibO website content [was: deb installer - have to manually modify link]

Hi David, *

This thread certainly belongs to website@libo, because such details 
should be discussed among all people interested in this area.

As I read there, some community members already put content on these 
pages, and at least Marc and Michael wanted to contribute to the 
Silverstripe site too - so discussing here might result in double work.

Sorry for not providing any artwork - but there has not been any 
request, neither on website@libo, nor on marketing or design@libo (the 
latter might be the appropriate list IMHO).

Probably this is due to the fact that nobody really had the time / 
dedication to work on these pages. So I still hope this might change.

I'm quite sure that the people working on the pages up to now did have 
some ideas how to organize the website. Some of them already created 
native-lang pages, so you should ask them for their structure.

Just "unpublishing" their content without contacting them on the list 
before might have annoyed them - they might have thought you don't 
respect their work on structure and content but just want to publish 
your ideas.

If you want to, you're welcome to do so.

Please be aware that the website should reflect our visual design - even 
if this is not finished yet, I'd like to see all artwork integrate the 
design of the TDF logo and the other graphics provided at the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding

You might also want to refer to the installer and start center images:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Package.zip

But it might be easier to ask at the design list for support in this area.

As already discussed in another thread, the buttons have either to be 
removed or to extended a lot in order to work with the improved download 
scripts proposed on website@libo.

So I'd suggest to start with the structure and ask for graphics when the 
structure and content has been decided.

Best regards

substantially way...)
