Hi John,

The links on the home page are designed to take potential *users* to a
description of what each component of OOo does.
I would be happy to invite also potential users to the project page and
give useful information to them there. Help from someone with experience
in designing those text is appreciated. I don't believe in this strict
separation of consumers and contributors. In contrast I think we need to
lower the barrier between user and contributer thus the transition is
easier.
So, when Base became a
separate 'standalone' component, it got its own link
http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html (and the Base folks asked
for a link to their project page, which is now on the bottom of the page
"For more information, please see the Base project page").
If Chart becomes a separate 'standalone' component, then we can do the
same.
What is this 'standalone' for an argument? I cannot understand the
importance of 'standalone' for the user. Chart is a big feature area.
Users are interested in charts. For most users it's not of any relevance
whether charts are available as 'standalone' application also or not.
Kind regards,
Ingrid
