It has been awfully quiet in the discussion about the new layout. I have added some stuff to http://en.opensuse.org/Frontpage_redesign
I know there must be more links around this discussion, so please let your opinion known, even if it is that you like it the way it is. Otherwise it is just an individual request that won't get a followup.

It is quiet, because many people don't know what to do next. I'm among them. For instance I would like little bit more graphic. Simple SUSE chameleon is not really visually appealing graphic. The one on default background screen in SUSE 10 is much better for this purpose, but I'm not sure can it be used without Novell permission. In line with this is Pflodo template that will allow graphic to be used as link, see http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team . Second problem that I can see is space for work on proposal. One page is enough to post links to other pages with complete solution, but each proposal should have it's own page, with links to existing pages, just like real main page, and should be editable. Later I'll put some idea on wiki. Third problem I mentioned in one earlier posting is voting. We need place where to say yes or no for different things that we have more than one solution and affects all of us. In some cases it should be necessary to allow voting without logging in. Give anonymous user that look at the web page that should serve them right to say what they think about functionality, graphic layout, missing features, and than build upon feedback. I bet this will boost our confidence that we do right thing. Why editing wiki is not open can be understood, but completely isolating wiki from user opinions is bad. I can see that wiki pages are guesswork, made from experienced Linux user prospective, what would be good for new users. Why not let guest user to say what they would like to see. I'm now picking newsgroups questions to see what would be good. -- Regards, Rajko.
