We got a lot of feedback from users who were confused by the existing download page, so we decided to use JavaScript to make the page interactive.
Good idea! It was already mentioned that the final download links are not visible enough. Just another idea: - add another chooser "select media" which offers "DVD" and "CDs" (or integrate this in the "download method" section) - move the links to a section named "download" This way you could also easily clarify the content of the DVD - simply offer the link to the DVD + the language Add-On CD.
For users having deactivated JavaScript the old download interface will still be present.
I don't really like the current <noscript> message You need JavaScript enabled to use the download selector. If you'd like to download directly (without JavaScript), please use the non-interactive download table.. Why don't you simply include the download table directly? (+ maybe a notice that it would be less confusing with JavaScript) Some things I miss, compared to the old download table: - the MD5SUMs - links to the repositories http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/*/ [1] - the footnotes from current http://download.opensuse.org Were they just forgotten or did you drop them intentionally? To sum up my proposal: * the "download method" selector should IMHO offer: - Standard (ftp or http) - CDs - Standard (ftp or http) - DVD - BitTorrent - Network installation * the "Choose a media type" section should be renamed to "Download" and only show the following links: - Standard - CDs: links to the 5 CDs + Add-On + language Add-On + MD5 - Standard - DVD: links to the 5 CDs + language Add-On + MD5 - BitTorrent: keep as is - or split it to DVD and CD also - Network installation: mini-CD (incl. MD5) and the 10.2/repo/* repos Regards, Christian Boltz [1] I would add them as separate download method "direct installation from the internet" or alike. And I would put the Network installation mini-CD into that category too. --
Mir sind genug NT - Admins mit Gehaeltern ab 150 KDM bekannt, die weniger von NT wissen als ich - und das ist _sehr_ wenig. NT-Admins werden wie Bundestagsabgeordnete bezahlt? Wo kriegt man so Angebote? Gibt es irgendwo einen MCSE-Straßenstrich? [in dasr]
