Another update, seems this weekend I've my productive phase: ;-)
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_droplist.html
What was done:
- Grey box:
- Bye, bye grey color - hello green freshness.
+1
- The select boxes are prefilled with the browser guessed data.
+1
- The information link has now a (i) icon.
Looks better, but the hover text has gone. It was useful...
I get the text "What is the difference between full installation and
language pack?" when hovering the mouse over the (i) icon.
Have you done something different?
I get hover text for the download and report links, but not for the (i).
This applies to Firefox and Opera 12.17 on WinXP, and Firefox on OS X
(Mavericks)
I did a test with IE10 and there is also no hover text. I've now added
text to the respective element.
Chrome shows the (i) hover, but the download and report texts are
missing - I only see the (i) and the link icon.
Still the same when changing a value of a drop-down box? This will
trigger a new creation of download links.
I do see the download hovers if the mouse is moved over the blank
space to the left of the (i)
The drop-downs are correctly preset, but there is no info in the light
green box.
These will be set together with the download links.
This is true for Chrome on WinXP and OS/X, and for Safari and Opera 20.0 on OS/X
[I think Opera 20 is based on Chrome]
IE8/WinXP is completely broken; no content in the drop-down boxes and
no download or report text.
So none of the Win/XP or OS/X browsers are fully working for me.
Hm, that's not good. Need to work on this.
Thanks
Marcus
- Added a "Report broken link" - pointing to the debug webpage.
I clicked on the report button.
The test page that appears needs to have some introductory text to
tell users what to do.
Yes, like I wrote right below. ;-) For the moment it's just to see that
something is working.
The icon alone is maybe not meaningful enough, therefore an
additional text link.
(Of course the debug webpage needs further work to really work as
report function.)
- All not primary important data are now in the sub-box.
Now it looks more clean.
- Green box:
- All not primary important data are now in the sub-box.
Now it looks more clean and the focus is set for downloading only.
- Links:
- I've moved and deleted links and also adjusted the headlines.
- In the nav bar as well as in the colored boxes.
- Of course it's just a suggestion and can be discussed/changed.
I think the download links could be more descriptive (there's plenty
of room) - e.g.
Download full installation package (including language pack)
and
Download language add-on pack only
This is were I need some help *what* to write - text or button or both or
something else ...
So, thanks for your suggestion.
As an aside, the information page about language packs could perhaps
describe how dictionaries compare with language packs. Do language
packs include any dictionaries? Or do they just include the text
strings used in the application?
I found the page quite difficult to follow.
OK, I will improve the text.
What is not yet working:
- The version drop-down-box has still no effect for others than 4.1.0.
It's a bigger effort as I've to take into account every
available build for every release in the past.
- The [Reset] button is now not working as expected, however maybe
it's indeed no longer necessary?
What do you think?
The reset button could be dropped.
OK
Thanks for your feedback.
Marcus
What are the next steps:
- Make the version drop-down-box work for older releases.
- Improve the styling of the both download links.
- Combine the both green boxes.
- And further suggestions from you.
Thanks in advance for testing. :-)

I've done some further work.
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_droplist.html
What is working:
- Filesizes are shown for selected full install + langpack.
- Checksum links are shown for selected full install + langpack.
- When choices are done a little help icon is shown. Click on it to get
to a help text for "full install vs. langpack".
- Some release data is shown like in the green box.
What is not yet working:
- The version dropdown box has no effect yet but it shows already how
it could work (likely).
- I've not tested with all browsers. So, maybe something is not working.
What are the next steps:
- Reduce the additional links in the green box and re-work in the right
hand nav bar - delete duplicates, change order/positions, delete if
not needed here, etc.
In general, this should result in a clean-up.
- Make the version drop-down box work to choose from older releases.
After that I'll publish a new update to the webpage and go on with your
further comments and suggestions.
So, please have a look and don't hesitate to comment.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your input.
A few of them (delete some obviously not needed text, make the choice
order of the drop-dwn boxes irrelevant) are already committed. But the
most need more time.
Please don't expect to have this full-featured for the AOO 4.1.0
release. I need more time to do all this. Luckily the need work-free
days are coming. :-)

Hi all,
while enjoying the Easter time I made some progress about a long-term
problem:
- Downloading the offered file via the green box is fast and easy
- Downloading a different file than the offered is not
Via the big table on the "other.html" is now easy to maintain for us
but
has no improvement for the user as it is large and complex.
Therefore I've thought of making another offer directly on the main
download webpage:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_droplist.html
Please don't look too close to look& feel - sure the grey color is
not
the best one ;-) - this can and will be improved for sure.
For now please have a look for the functionality via the drop-down
boxes
and the then created links below them.
What do you think? is this a direction we can/should go in general?
Or do you have complete different thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Marcus
