[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE Web Start Page
In Fedora 8, the web browser's home page redirects into http://
start.fedoraproject.org/ which is a start page for Fedora that
includes the ability to search the web (it points to Google) and it
also points to other links for Fedora users.
Perhaps something similar could be done for openSUSE. Besides only
offering a nice openSUSE-themed start page to search the web, but it
could also provide ways for normal users of openSUSE to easily get
important info (like surveys, other announcements important for
openSUSE users) that they might otherwise overlook on the wiki or on
the openSUSE News website.
I'm going to work on the idea. What do yall think?

OpenSuSE already includes a homepage which points to the software, wiki and buildservice portions of the openSuSE website. All the aspects of life in openSuSE! Most of which a user needs to find is there: Get software, find help (wiki), build software. Not to mention all of the bookmarks that openSuSE defaults with are a great help. Plus, the default openSuSE browser, Firefox has the google search bar built in so an on page search box isn't much of an improvement. Getting information easier is also coming in due time. The wiki is going through the planning stages of a rework. (Our wiki already has a frontpage with announcements, and links to news.opensuse.org) So that portion is covered. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

not all. There should be, for example, a drop down list (like the language one) to access the other domains, like lists.o.o (the most important) or news... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://clairedodin.voices.com/ http://www.clairedodin.com/ http://claire.dodin.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Even if a user was looking for those, I think it's a safe bet that they would look under "Discover It" to find those.
