Yes, that path is too complicated and surely has to be improved, but the
solution you proposed is not the best one IMHO.
As other have pointed out, the Products are end-user related. Having a
Chart-icon there is not a problem, but the page that will be loaded when
the user clicks that icon should get the end-user related info. (the
"marketing blabla")
Why must this be so? We could offer a page instead that contains the
Marketing Info as well as links to further activities (roadmaps, query
bugs, bug submission, documentation, scripts and addons, development
offers etc. ) all around that feature area.
I didn't oppose to a page that offers both. But the marketing stuff is a
must.
So where can I find the marketing text for charts?
I would be happy to point to it from the chart page.
Why should someone who is
interested in calc for example search all this different activities on
different pages separated already on the main page? I think the typical
scenario is that someone is intersted in calc first and then he is
intersted in development or bug submission not the other way round.
People "interested in calc" by far outnumbers the people "interested in
development".
So one can turn your argument and ask: Why should someone who is
interested in calc be botheres with all that stuff he is not interested
in at all?
Yes :-). I would like to offer easy access to further opportunities to
all normal users because then the chance is much greater that a user
switches and becomes a contributor.
So why should we force visitors of the OOo pages to leave their natural
path of interest?
I never said that. But:
Without a page ready to point to, there is no point in asking for a
link on the frontpage.
You don't point people to a page that reads: "Sorry, under construction"
Sorry but the chart page
http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html has valuable content.
It's not "under construction".
