[openFATE 310300] Create sensible start pages for browsers
- From: fate_noreply@xxxxxxx

- Message-id: <feature-310300-6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Feature changed by: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer)
Feature #310300, revision 6
Title: Create sensible start pages for browsers
openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer)
Description:
The current start page for browsers is http://www.opensuse.org/.
In my opinion the current content is not useful as a startpage which is
kept by people.
I would find a very small page with a possibility to search the net
useful like the following examples:
* http://www.google.de/firefox
* http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04/Google/
* http://start.fedoraproject.org/
I don't want to promote Google but it's still the most popular search
engine and what people mainly use.
As part of this possible change I'd like to have an offline start page
which can be loaded (at least) in Firefox when the machine is offline.
Can people come up with something like that? Just an index.html with
some more files probably installed in a location where other browsers
can pick it up as well.

The openSUSE page is part of our branding. Most browsers already search
with google by default anyway and users can change the startpage. I
don't think putting google as default is a good idea. What I do like
however is the idea to have an off-line page - but it should be
openSUSE branded. Anyone with some html skills could make it (even by
just dumping one of the current openSUSE webpages), who's up for that?

Note that I don't want to have a non-openSUSE branded page. But what I
propose is to have a minimalistic site probably with a internet search
option. I think even Google allows to have custom pages or embed the
google search into own sites.

Are you considering it not uesful simply because it lacks a search
engine?

+ I try to estimate how useful the start page is for the majority of users
+ and the current startpage is likely to get replaced by the user almost
+ instantly.
