https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=279699 Summary: Community Support Options Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: aj@novell.com ReportedBy: francisg@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de As promised in the status meeting, we've thrown together a mockup for the 'Community Support Options' idea we put forward. In summary: have an icon on the desktop called 'Community Support' (since 'Community Support Options' gets truncated down) that opens up the page with a list of support options, including the Mailing lists, the forums, and IRC. This is great because it gives new users instant access to new help, which is really what a lot of Linux users need in the beginning days. Current mockup: http://giannaros.org/suse/SupportOptions/ What it could be like in a borderless/menuless etc Konqueror: http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/screenshots/greeter-konqueror.png Other issues: * Konqueror will by default automatically launch Konversation, but this isn't the case with Firefox. Firefox would need to open xchat or the like by simply clicking on the IRC link. Is it a config option somewhere? * Is it possible to have a different icon on the desktop for GNOME and KDE? Otherwise I'm not sure if borderless Konqueror would be a possibility as it requires specific options when starting up. * I realise that the mailing list link is wrong at the moment. I think it would be a good idea to make a specific wiki page for users coming from that link, with easy instructions about signing up to the support mailing list. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
