Again: I personally don't like to link to "random" pages from the frontpage. The pages should have somewhat the same style. It is prefelctly fine for me to link to a chart page that is similar to the ones for writer or calc or any other of the currently listed "products" - it is OK for me as well if it has an additional section that includes the following message (the meaning, not the words): This module is currently rewritten, we encourage all contributions, for more details and preview snapshots see <chart page on graphics.ooo) > [...] > Why should it be necessary to be in the application start menu to get > attention on the main page or in the help?

And that's one of the reasons I don't want an "here you find *everything*" page. See the product descriptions here: http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html Adding a chart entry there and thus a link on the frontpage would be no problem if it follows the scheme of the other pages. You can make the "this module is being rewritten" hint stand out, no problem for me, but the end-user stuff should be present nevertheless.

Please make it a seperate page so that it fits in the current scheme. ciao Christian -- NP: The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
