Contents
Motivation
Project pages are outdated and don't look very tempting; finding them from the OOo home page needs too much clicks
Target audience
Users, developers, other contributors, people looking for contact, project descriptions, documentation
Desired content of project pages
Goal: users should have easy access and should be guided to reach their goal fast; contributors should have a comfortable entry
For users: FAQs, screen shots, documentation links, road map, links to tutorials/HowTos
For contributors: Links to contribution pages; work in progress, "to do" list, "hall of fame" for received contributions, links to specs
additional ideas: links to MLs+forums, feedback and contact forms, links to issue queries, announcements, simplified bug reporting
Ideas for project pages
- start page of the project shouldn't have much content but a clear navigation to the desired content
- most important things should be on top of the page so that they are seen without much scrolling
- navigation should be consistent across the whole OOo pages
- we should track hit counts for all of our pages to get feedback about their usefulness or the lack of it
- it doesn't matter where the content is (wiki or not), but it should look consistent
General ideas
- we should have links to OOo relevant blogs somewhere on the home page
- the applications images should link to the project pages, the current more marketing related content should become integrated into them
- this way the challenge of the application project pages will be to serve the different requirements of users and developers
- other projects with a more development or contribution oriented target audience will still be reachable as today; perhaps we can save one click (home page - projects - accepted projects - ...)
- the "community" idea should get a bigger representation on the starting page; perhaps we should have a second big button beneath the "get" button, titled with "community","join","contribute" or whatsoever; nice idea: red button with arrow "up".
- have a different navigation bar: "Developing-QA-Community-Download-Support-News&Info"
- make images for application looking like buttons
Activities
- Introduce ideas about more emphasis on projects to website group (IHA)
- Revamp QA home page as example for other projects (CLU/WG)
- Prepare proposal about content structure for project webcontent (CJ/CD)
- Define requirements for website usage statistics (KR)
