Hi, from what was said on the "3rd stage: modifications" thread I conclude that everyone is happy with the _layout_ of the new home page (the splash screen is another matter ;-)): http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/home.html So I would suggest to close discussions on the layout of _this_ page and start focusing on the content. Rajko has already made an alternative proposal with considerably less text - please see: http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/33/Frontpage-simple-005.png His comments:
1- "the world's most usable Linux" is mentioned twice in one paragraph. No need to mention that it is in any language considered problematic. 2- "The program provides anyone with free and easy access to the world's most usable Linux distribution" then later "We work together to create and distribute the world's most usable Linux" We either have it, or we are creating it. Can't be both.
3-"There are many ways you can participate in the openSUSE project. First you should get a copy of SUSE Linux and install it on your machine." Visitor can see two paragraphs right below that tell the same, so this is redundant.
4-"Here at openSUSE.org, you'll find a community of developers, end users, and other open source enthusiasts who all have the same goal in mind" "Other open source enthusiasts" might be business owners, but opensuse.org is non commercial site, and it is hard to imagine that any will appear.
Of course, race with the time is guilty for some overzealous cuts, like missing Communicate link in the left pane. The link "More..." will lead to "How to Participate" page.
