Hi, two weeks ago I promised to get more involved into the front page discussion. In order to have something to start with, I made a proposal that tries to bring the suggestions mentioned at http://en.opensuse.org/Frontpage_redesign/List_of_Proposal_Pages together: Splash screen for www.opensuse.org: http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash.html Home page for en.opensuse.org: http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/home.html Please note that these pages have not been optimized for different browsers, yet - I have developed them on Firefox, so they are "Best viewed with Firefox" ;-) Some explanations: Splash screen: It's intended to resemble the 10.1 installation boot screen. The background image is courtesy of Jakub Steiner (thanks a lot). Home page: I picked up jdd's suggestion to simplify the navigation. The top navigation now is entirely dedicated to one topic - "Participation" in my proposal. Apart from the wiki toolbox and the language menu, the left nav now only contains one section which holds the 7-9 most important links. In moving the page's headline into the top of the page I tried to seize jdd's suggestion to make more efficient use of the space at the top of the page and to separate the logo from the left nav (to me it now looks more as being part of the top of the page rather than of being part of the left nav). The content (center) part of the page is based on Rabauke's proposal (The German Proposal). If you want to experiment with the html/css yourself, get all files from http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/ Please let me know what you think. BTW: Please note that changes within the content area only affect the home page. Changes to top nav, left nav and footer affect all wiki pages. Every link that is present on the front page (regardless where it is) also affects the wikis in other languages - it is my belief that the pages that are linked to from the homepage should be part of "must be translated" set. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org
