Yes, that would work... see below... > Second, Chart is always lost somewhere between the projects.

For better or worse, we have chosen to present the functionality of OOo to users as a series of applications called Calc, Base, Draw, etc... so as an entry point, I'd recommend keeping to a model users already have in their heads. However, on the Calc page, we could do something like: Want to improve Calc? Spreadsheet ... sc.openoffice.org Charting ... graphics.openoffice.org Quality control ... qa.openoffice.org Documentation ... documentation.openoffice.org Supporting users ... Translating ... with a list of all the relevant projects?
