+1. Marketing should work more closely in collaboration with the website and art lists for upcoming campaigns/marketing materials. > The policy of not touching the front-page is a big mistake since it give us > little to work with.

The new design has been shelved for almost 2 years now. In the meantime, much of the information there is now obsolete. The reason for its shelving was that the CollabNet framework (template code) broke it for IE6 (I tried but failed at making it work, though it can be done by excluding the Collabnet code in the CollabNet templates). The existing design was broken in IE6 anyway until 2008 IIRC. It is also not ideal because of a break in continuity and style; the design switches from the OOo website to a website that looks very different. So there's one thing that the lists could work together on :) On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 8:32 AM, <ian.ly...@zmsl.com> wrote: > IMHO if the marketing project means anything it should have full control > over what goes on the front page of the web site.

I would say the problem is a lack of concrete discussion; I'm sure that if someone put forward a [specific] suggestion about what they think would be good to have on the homepage / some other page(s) on the OOo website, they won't be ignored. - Ivan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
