Hi all,
I've prepared a new proposal for the replacement of
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html with
http://download.openoffice.org/draft.html
As you can see two major things changed:
- a fifth button in orange was added. This is a link to give users a
chance to evaluate our newest RCs/Snapshot builds
- after clicking on the green download button the contribute page will
be shown and then the download starts.
Beside this,
- all blocks act like a button, was remarked by Maarten, done
- the 'Get more platforms and languages' is a new light-green block, was
remarked by Maarten, done
Hope everything is fine for our customers and we can start the
replacement on Monday.
Cheers,
Frank

Hello again,
a first view on the proposal is available at
http://download.openoffice.org/draft.html
As you can see it's more or less a copy of the 2.3.1 download-page
(http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/index.html?focus=download).
And your draft.html is intended as a replacement for the
download.ooo/2.3.1/index.html page?
I just talked to Frank and he explained to me that the new page is
intended as a replacement for the Download Central
(download.ooo/index.html) page.
If it is intended as Download Central (download.ooo/index.html) we
have to give it a bit more thought.
I am at least not sure whether people were aware that the
download.ooo/index.html is Frank's target when they gave their comments
or whether they thought that the download.ooo/2.3.1/index.html page was
meant to be modified.
I'm not against replacing the <version>/index.html page and we should
certainly measure the change in downloads when replaying it.
I would like to use a piece of HTML/JS (plus .css and .js) for the
home page and download central to implement 1-click download (exactly
*one* :-) as soon as possible - as you mention below. If you give us
such a piece of code I would be happy to use it now at Download Cenbral.
I'll ask Frank to extract this part of the draft.html page. Perhaps he
can create a draft2.html which only replaces the download-button on the
current download.ooo/index.html page, for a better review.
The new workflow has no pass-through page with information about
contributing or graphical advertisement for testing or donations.
If we drop this in favor of less clicks we should at least have a
follow-up page that is shown after the start of the 1-click download.
See the download process of the DE project or for extensions for an
examples of follow-up pages.
That part is already implemented. In fact I think we could as well use
the draft.html directly as a replacement for the download.ooo/index.html
page now, as I think the design is more appealing than the current page.
The parts missing on the draft.html, which currently are on the
download.ooo/index.html page, are a link for "Derived Works", source
code for old versions, L10N in progress, OOo solutions, the section on
download managers and part of the second "Development" heading.
How do others think about replacing the download.ooo/index.html with
Frank's draft.html? Is it better to first replace only the
download-button with a 1-Click-Download button and then think about
design changes, or would you prefer to have the download.ooo/index.html
replaced now with the draft.html (perhaps with some/all of the missing
links added to the sidebar)?
Greetings
Stefan
Regards,
Jörg
