Introduction
why.openoffice.org is OpenOffice.org's shop window to the world. It is the place where potential users come to be convinced that they should use OOo. It is co-ordinated by the OpenOffice.org Marketing Project with contributions from the Art and Website Projects and other Community members.
Important note for potential contributors
why.openoffice.org is primarily about benefits, not about features. If you don't understand the difference, read this article before going any further.
It's also about target markets, as these are groups of users who are seeking the same benefits. The SMP has a master list of features and benefits and target markets. There's also a good article in the wiki on The Case for Switching.
Style guide
why.openoffice.org is visual, engaging, big on graphics / small on text. right brain, changing, challenging. It makes clever use of web technologies, so the look and feel can be changed overnight. It looks different from the main OOo site, yet it has a consistent look and feel within all the pages. Look at the Spanish Native-language project for an example of what can be achieved.
Home Page
The main part of the home page lists the key benefits:
Each of these link to a page describing the benefits further
It also has navigation links to the target markets:
- governments and public administrations (especially in the developing world);
- Education establishments (schools, colleges, universities);
- Public libraries;
- Small/Medium Enterprises (SMEs);
- Not-For-Profits (Not-For-Profits – charities, voluntary sector, etc);
- OEMs - Own Equipment Manufacturers building PCs with pre-*installed software, especially for the low-cost / home end market
- Linux distributions looking for an office suite to ‘bundle’
with links to the benefits for those markets
Finally, it has space to run campaign ads, such as Thinking of upgrading to MS-Office 2007? with a link to suitable material.
A first proposal how this could look is attached to Issue 64643, where we want to collect design concepts.
