And? Ask yourself these questions:
Does it hurt you if you know what you are doing to click 2 times?
Yes, because I know it could have been in one time.
Does it hurt you if you have no fsckn clue what to download and how if this information is burried away somewhere?
As it is now, yes, because with too much information it is confusing.
And let me tell you: what you are stating is not true at all. Most users read documentation.
I have first hand information that people don't read information. At least not enough. The minority that does won't mind looking at an extra page. I don't want to remove the information.
You want to hide it. Thats not exactly removing but it comes close ;)
Its the lack of good documentation that makes users unsure about the choices they have to take.
The way you go from the fromload page to the actual download is lack of good documentation.
So following your argumentation linking from the index page to some directory with iso files in it would be the best documentation? Hmmmmm
Because you have to make some choices before you can "just download and install". And these choices are explained in the pages.
There are way too many unneeded choices to be made in the steps between clicking 'download' and doing the actual download.
Which choice is unneeded? Tell me please...
I am open minded. In fact i think you are not. You want to reduce the usefulness of the download page to most of the people and concentrate on users who know what choices they have to take to spare them 2 clicks...
No, I want to simplify the process of going from the download button to the actual download. Top me the download page is not a download page, it is information about a download page.
Sure. Its documentation of what you can download.
There is just too much at the same time at the wrong time.
So what would be the right amount and the right time? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, Core Services "Rules change.
