Note that we have two websites: http://www.openoffice.org and http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg (When we graduate that second one will change to http://openoffice.apache.org) So why two websites? Why does this make sense? Consider this pair of websites as well: http://www.coca-cola.com/ and http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/ So the idea is that one website is public-facing, user-facing, about the Apache OpenOffice product. And the other is project-facing, about the project. It is the website (and associated CWiki) where we do the real work. The user-facing website will have a lot of translated content. The project website will not. With the user-facing website we should spend some extra time to make sure it looks as good as it can. With the project website, we don't want it too look bad, of course. But it is a busy workshop, where things are changing fast. We're pragmatic, not pretty. The Cwiki is a mess, but it works. That is the kind of distinction we have between the two websites. It is important to also note, that they are linked. For example, on the user-facing websites, when we talk about contributing to the project, we link them to the project website. -Rob > I have some ideas to propose, but they are attached to the chosen platform. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > Paulo de Souza Lima > Técnico em Eletrônica e Administrador > http://www.pasl.net.br > http://almalivre.wordpress.com > Curitiba - PR > Linux User #432358 > Ubuntu User #28729 > > "Para que as pessoas conquistem a paz em suas relações, a paz espiritual e > a paz entre os povos, é preciso que antes se ganhe a batalha interna das > virtudes sobre os defeitos" - Talal Husseini - Filósofo Acropolitano > > "For people to achieve peace in their relationships, spiritual peace and > the peace among people, it's necessary, earlier, to win the internal battle > between virtues and defects" - Talal Husseini - Acropolitan Philosopher
