Forget my last mail, I was mistaken when I quickly scanned the topic. Now, after having a look at the PDF mockup attached to the bugreport, I see that this bugreport has quite some similarities to my proposal. Greets, Andreas -- Skype: andreas.demmer ICQ: 103 924 771 http://www.andreas-demmer.de

Hello all, I think redesign of the site is pretty important, so lets unite to great newcomers in a warm way ;=) May i ask a question ? i'd like to understand / learn about how the work is done amongst the open source world (Guis, distributions ...) on the market. Is there a common work to offer possibilities to the users in order for them to have more OS choices ? Whatever is their final distro choice, this meaning we internally do our best for them to pick up once own distro but do not compete with others *Nix distro, at the opposot we help each other and exchange ideas. This 'd be a key . And also we allow each own to take ideas from the others . Or is there a copyright or licence on ideas ? This for i was wondering if it'be possible to have something similar to what i found at ubuntu or fedora, i 'm fond of the thumbs design : it's simple , neat and really convenient , plus easily done , is it not ? : check out and compare these : http://www.fedora-fr.org/ (the blue ones) http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/ (the brown ones) http://fr.opensuse.org/Bienvenue_sur_openSUSE.org (the green ones) the suse site mentions : "Ici, vous trouverez une communauté d'utilisateurs et de développeurs qui ont le même but en tête - créer et distribuer la distribution Linux la plus facile à utiliser au monde." this means : here'll find a community of users and developers with one goal in mind : create and distribute the easiest to use linux distribution. Well then, it's not yet the case for 1st access to the distro is oftentimes the site and one's 1st opinion is very important. I think as the openSUSE distro effort has been to make things easier and beautiful (and a BIG success) , now that v11 is on tracks it gives more time to improve the "Discover it" page. We need somthing visual and comfortable at 1st sight. My opinion is that the actual "Discover it "part of the site site is too detailed , it's very close to "perfection", only a few things are missing. It needs to be simplified , then -for those interested- is an available access to the detail. This does not mean skip the left column, but a bit less informations and links, a bit bigger police (or even only a different police, seet the one at the fedora link i gave : the left colum is easier to read than the one at the suse link ). A big plus would be adding thumbs above to make different platforms access clear and neat : Home/Forums/Documentation/Planet/Association/Shop at Fedora reminds what's on the left column , and helps a lot to visualise it all.

Yes, there are similarities in we should work jointly on both.

The ideas from Andreas I share completely. openSUSE needs to become more user friendly for people new to Linux or anyway not so computer savvy as most of our community guys already are. And I fully agree with Zonker & Christopher Flash shouldn't be considered due to the downsides it has.

Robert Lihm is our guy here doing such web design and I'm kind of sure he's happy to get some addtional support ;-)
