[opensuse-project] Browser startup homepage
Hi, I would like to bring up a discussion again about what the browser startpage should be. I'm not convinced about the current startpage itself and also its integration into the browser (mainly Firefox in my case obviously). Our current startpage is: http://www.opensuse.org/ Compare that with other distributions and the original Firefox startpage: http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ http://www.google.de/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official (this is where it ends up from a mozilla.com redirect) http://start.fedoraproject.org/ I agree with all the others that a global web search should be on that startpage and it should be pretty simple. Our current startpage only invites people to change it anyway IMHO. What do others think about it?
From a technical perspective I'm planning to change the Firefox startpage to load a local document which decides what page to load dependent on the online status because currently only an error page is displayed if Firefox is started offline with the current start page. I'm mentioning that explicitely because it would be nice if someone could design a page which should be shown when offline.

If apache is intalled, it could be the apache local start page. You had one such in SuSE times, with links to local help, man pages, search, local status, local howtos, local SuSE manual, etc. It was nice. And shows to novices that you can have a real local web server. ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I agree with your planning. We may address what information should be displayed on the start page before trying to give it a nice layout. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/v2 Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
