Hi,
I'm searching for a common landing page where every user can see at
once all the languages that are available for OOo, with links to the
localized support pages etc. ...
I want to give a link in the installed help: "Click here to find the
OOo pages in your language" for the user who wants to get help but who
is not used in reading English.
So this is what we have aside the NLC official page:
http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html : it's better presented
than the NLC page that is really designed for potential new members of
the NLC.
and http://documentation.openoffice.org that has a scrollbar pointing to
the different NL projects.
What do you think we coul do on top of those? Perhaps the concept of the
language selector as it exists in the documentation project could be reused?
the current pages are good for the developer and other computer experts
who want to help with the projects.
But for a "normal user" of OOo it is a bit difficult to find out that
there indeed exist pages in his/her language.
Some users may not know the english name of their language. Do you know
the kirgisian name for France?
Some users may not want to read western characters but prefer chinese or
greek or arabic or other characters.
So a portal page with some maps of the world as image maps comes to my
mind, or some flags - although this could lead to political
implications. May be something like the starting page of wikipedia.org ?
