The generic, basic page seems to have several parts, some larger, some
small, some very small:
OOo site banner
project/subcategory banner or header
top nav menu
side nav menu
sidebar
content
project footer
OOo footer
Oracle footer
I would think that the different components each get their own DIV
element and then a generic placement and appearance. The placement
and appearance of all but the Oracle footer probably shouldn't be
changed, though there's been no real public word on that, but
everything else could be tweaked by the project or sub-project.
Just two single cent ideas from my side:
On the branding list Ismaël Grammenidis proposed [1]:
A while ago there was a discussion at the Dutch NL project about creating a
customized frontpage.
Perhaps we can implement that idea in the international site as well:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NL/Stappenplan#Voorpagina_.28Homepage.29
There are 4 sections on that frontpage with each 5 links:
- OpenOffice.org
-- Download
-- For who and why?
-- About the project
-- Licence
- Support
-- Installation guide
-- Manuals
-- Forum (Bulletin Board)
-- Wiki
-- Tips& Tricks
- Announcements
- Contribute
-- Background information
-- Projects
-- Bugs
-- FAQ
-- Contact
I heard several comments about improving the main page - on the other
hand I know about the intensive discussions when the last main page
update took place in 2008 (I think).
If we think we should talk about changing the general structure, this
would be the right time - I just don't know if we want to do it at all...
My second thought starts with a different point of view, but leads to a
similar question:
With the new Branding Initiative we work on establishing a common
look-and-feel for OOo containing not only the same symbols (logo and
gull orb), but also the same color language, graphical element
positioning and so on.
The goal is to define an OOo brand that "lives" in every visual
representation of OOo, supports the perception of a consistent and
unique community and creates certain positive feelings for our visitors,
users and contributors.
A common design (containing an area for individual concepts and project
related goals) on our project's main pages might help a lot to reach
this goal.
Therefore we should try to include the designers of the sub-project's
main pages (especially some of the accepted projects and native-lang's),
that showed vivid and interesting approaches to reach people.
I invited Terada Kazuhiro, the designer of the Japanese main page [2],
to join this list - perhaps we could find others too.
... if we really want to create a new main page instead of just updating
the design ...
As said - just two single cents worth ...
Best regards
Bernhard
