This is a new OOo Web Site proposal based on a previous mockup
from: http://www.molcan.cz/download/ooo-mockup2.jpg
The previous mockup had some issues I did disprove:
1.) the excessive height did not allow for important elements to be visible
on a typical 1024*768 resolution
- especially the 'Templates/Extensions'-Link gets
easily overlooked in the original (was below lower screen margin)
=> I reduced the height of the images
- the 'Templates/Extensions' link will fit now
on the same screen without scrolling
2.) the download link can be easily missed, because
the user is distracted by the coloured image,
therefore missing the *WHITE* 'Get your Office' label
=> ADDED a coloured 'DOWNLOAD'-Message that,
because of the similar orange colour,
captions immediately the attantion
3.) NO Easy Navigation
=> Added a MENU-BAR
=> Added a SEARCH-BOX
4.) NO Company Info
=> Added a delimited FOOTER
- has the added benefit, that the page is contained
[should be probably on a white background,
BUT was too complicated to change]
I attached this as the new issue 83885 to the OOo Bugzilla, see
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=83885
See the attached image for this issue:

This mockup is a *strongly marketing-oriented* design. This
marketing-driven design is similar in concept to that on the MySQL site
(http://www.mysql.com) (although the 2 web pages are quite different,
they are heavy business oriented).
Another mockup was discussed on the mailing list. That one was more
tech-savy. The final decision will be a political one. IF there is a
desire for a marketing-oriented web page, then I would definitely go
with this mockup (as opposed to the tech-savy one).
Also, a marketing-oriented design must have the *Why OOo* in the
Menu-Bar. I also strongly support the 'FAQ' as a first-level Menu entry,
and also the 'Search-Box'. The other items could be still discussed about.
[And as a side-note: Gimp really sucks! Unfortunately I do not have
access to Photoshop anymore.]
If you wish further information, please cc me, too (or post to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, too).
