front page redesign - the HUB (opensuse.org)
I really think your are right saying we must go ahead on this subject, so I will try to separate it on smaller chunks :-) The first thing we _must_ do is a "hub" page, viewable on "opensuse.org" (without any "en", "fr"...). We need this badly because our goal of making an international distribution, with multiples localized wikis make us need a single page common to the whole community, given anywhere as reference, and this cannot be the english page. * we need to make simple (always make simple should be the main rule :-). So I propose the HUB page to be One image with around it one clickable place for each local wiki. can we agree with this first point? * this central image should be simply the opensuse logo, the one you can see in the upper left corner of any page, just resized with full definition to be visible (we can't just enlarge the icon) * the total screen size should be 640x480. We don't really need more for a hub and this should accomodate each and any world computer. Think to make a usable equivallent for non graphics browsers and disabled peoples. * what to use as back images for localized wikis is more difficult. The simpler way is flags. I understand this is sometime a problem, but I fail to find a better way. flags are internationally known, not lizards :-). I can see a Japanese flag and see there is a japanese wiki, a dragon with criptics (for me) symbols in it is not good. this pages is also an advertisement of how international SUSE is :-) your feeling? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
