Hi all,
Graham and I have had a lengthy discussion on several aspects, but one
the main aspects is the type of text we are using on buttons. He
proposed that we both used 'I' and 'OpenOffice.org' in every button. His
argument: There are millions of people around there who do know how to
use Office suites, but don't know how the internet works. Since changing
your office suite is something different from upgrading your internet
browser, the process should be comfortable to them. We can have an page
for advanced users later, and also leave the menubar in tact.
How about creating design proposals that keep everything to a minimum
but do include these 5 active sentences (see below; when there is a
choice, either wait for people to vote on them or contribute better
ones, or decide for yourself)? While it is rather radical compared to
many websites, I think we should be aware of the fact that
OpenOffice.org hardly has shops selling it. The website is where we have
to convince the very starters.
Please try to address the language issue and how advanced users should
navigate any further (e.g. using a top menu, but you decide).
Download:
"I want to download OpenOffice.org"

Extend:
