Exactly, I had the web start sites of http://start.fedoraproject.org/ and http://mandriva.com/en/community/start in mind when writing it. :-) For now the question is only if we want to have something like this so we can change the default URL of the browsers. Until it gets implemented eg http://www.opensuse.org/start can show/redirect to http://www.opensuse.org Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

The mandriva start page looks nice, it have all the needed information in one page (forums, mailinglist, wiki, irc). Although http://help.opensuse.org/ contains almost the same.

Though I prefer a simple and nice search engine like the one on firefox or fedora.

Maybe it would be possible to have a page that is pretty clean, has google search, _and_ links to build.o.o, en.o.o, news.o.o help.o.o at the same time. Maybe it could also have latest item(s)/headings from news.o.o. ...naturally a few geekos would need to be around too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

I personally am not that great a fan of the greeter, but I suppose it does have its uses. I do think that having the help.o.o icon is useful and should be kept.

What don't you like about it -- is this something that can be improved, or is it you don't like the concept itself?

Best,

Most likely the latter, i always get the feeling of screen spam. Then again I get the same feeling from the GIMP and KDE with the tips :) I accept that it is a needed item for welcoming new users and I'll just have to stop moaning, is there a "what's new" bit for regular users (I know it is in the release notes) but having a summary would be kind of good? Sorry if it is there, I tend to just go straight for the close button when it pops up without reading it; sods law I'll have missed the winning lottery numbers.

Also, we should probably drop the cool solutions link, or change it to: http://www.novell.com/communities/ What about a link to Planet SUSE?

Same es for opensuse-community.org (not under control of Novell)?

- Is www.opensuse.org the best browser start page or do we want to have something like other distros which include some web search etc.? I think a Web search page would be more useful --

What I would like to see is a minimized version of the three www bars, some search field with the options to "(x) Search the web ( ) Search openSUSE ( ) Search software" (latter using software.opensuse.org/search), two feeds with the latest from news.o.o and forums.o.o and maybe some content from help.o.o

nothing against opensuse.org, but I wouldn't find it a useful start page.

I think too that people are changing homepage URL very quickly from that. Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Also, I proposed an idea, I think on the opensuse-wiki mailinglist, for a web start page with web search and openSUSE User News. I would love to see that implemented in openSUSE 11.0 rather than the openSUSE homepage.

What about this? http://en.opensuse.org/Firefox_custom_search

cool, I didn't see this one!! thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://clairedodin.voices.com/ http://www.clairedodin.com/ http://claire.dodin.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
