Discovery

By URL convention:

For many organizations their planet is easily found by convention:

• www.jabber.org -> planet.jabber.org
• www.mozilla.org -> planet.mozilla.org
• www.gnome.org -> planet.gnome.org
• www.go-oo.org -> planet.go-oo.org

For OpenOffice.org

• www.openoffice.org -> planet.services.openoffice.org
  • that should be changed during site migration IMO -
  • this directly relates to primary target audience, IMO

Other naming schemes

• www.netbeans.org -> planetnetbeans.org
• www.java.org -> planetjava.org

- why?

By site navigation

• bottom of NEWS page
• bottom, right hand column, My Pages page
• edit/blogs page (linked to from locations above)
• NL linked from NL project page
• UX linked from UX Wiki page

External navigation

• GullFoss Multi-User Blog navigation block
  • OOo User Experience
  • OpenOffice.org Planet
  • OpenOffice.org Marketing
  • OpenOffice.org Blogs

- OOo User Experience - sure OpenOffice.org User Experience no doubt wraps, so use OpenOffice.org UX...don't you think?
- OpenOffice.org Blogs - why the redirection level here - just add the few additional links in-line here, IMO.
