OK. WOW - what a difference. This link: http://www.suse.de/~rlihm/index.shtml is what I was referring to. If the design is this link: http://www.suse.de/~rlihm/en/ then it's REALLY good. Yes, it's awesome. The easy boxes are at the top as they should be and if anyone wants more info then that there too. Cool! Glad that's cleared up :) - thanks!

Hi,
I'll just be frank. IMHO it's rather dull looking in its current state. I would stick w/ the current frontpage if I had to vote.
I'm also getting an 'Error 404' right now on your example site, BTW.
I do like the international drop down box - but don't get why the current frontpage would need a search bar. I like going to opensuse.org and choosing between the 3 options (get, discover, build) - makes it real easy.
In the end I'm nobody on this list :)
Thanks, Tehmasp

Hey!
During Hackweek 3 Andreas Demmer and I made a new frontpage for opensuse.org, which will replace the 3-Box-Page we currently have on http://www.opensuse.org .
The goals of the new page are:
* pickup the visitor at the front-door * offer more information about the openSUSE-Project on a centralised page (more; not to much, many, etc., just a overview!) * stay conform with the openSUSE.org screen-design * make it easy for newcomers to dig into the openSUSE-Univers.
About the page-design:
The content is always placed in two columns (1/3 to 2/3) and the page is divided into two halves. In the top is the eye-candy logo with a short description (we are still looking for a better/shorter text) of the openSUSE project and the good old three main sections: software, wiki, build service. Links to all other o.o-pages are offert at the bottom of the page as hotwords, so they can be easily found with the filter in your browser or by scrolling ;-) The search bar above the the categories is not fully implemented jet. We plan a selection box (dropdown) in front of the input-field where you can select the section which should be searched (e.g. like Firefox search in the top/right corner). The placement of the search box is carefully chosen. It has a optical connection to the three sections but there is enough white-space between the search and the section-chunk to display that they are not siblings. It's in the upper-right where the most people look for a search (it's in these area on all o.o-pages).
The lower part of the page contains, in the bigger column, informations like upcoming events, etc. ... what ever is hot :-) The smaler column contains the last 5 headlines from news.o.o (updates every hour), help informations and a link to shop.o.o. We made a small admin interface to change the content without the code- hacking and deploying dance.
A localisation is implemented, too. But not deployed now.
You can check out the draft at http://www.suse.de/~rlihm/index.shtml.
We are looking forward to hear your opinions and suggestions.
Best, Robert
