Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: 'adopt-o-meter' for the download page
Hi Nik, Am 06.06.2011 18:37, schrieb Nik: Hi all, This is probably not going to go down well with those who have submitted proposals for this task already, but I think we should re-evaluate whether some sort of adopt-o-meter will actually /clarify/ things for users. While the proposals so far were good, I think I understood them only because I knew of the request for them to be made. As a /user/, these visual elements are actually quite confusing; If you put a scale in, does that mean I can either have Stability or Features but not both? How am I going to decide what that even means for me if I haven't used the software yet? Why is 3.3.2 mentioned twice on some scales, does that make it superior to 3.4.0? What IS an early adopter? is it someone who downloads in the next few months? is this a new office suite? Does red/orange suggest that this isn't safe software? Does it indicate higher processing/resource demands? I haven't been to the downloads page for a while, after heading there I realised most of the problem was the way it is presented. it is *VERY* user-*un*friendly; - How are beginner-users supposed to know what x86 means? - Why is there no emphasis on the actual software download link as opposed to the language/help packs? - What is with the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK OF A *DOWNLOAD BUTTON* on this downloads page? By comparison, there is no confusion about what to press when you head to Mozilla[1], Ubuntu[2], Google[3] or even Microsoft's[4] sites; [1] http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ [2] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [3] http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/download/index.html [4] http://www7.buyoffice.microsoft.com/asia/product.aspx?sku=10234643cache=793687343culture=en-AU I think the cryptic filename-links need to go and the page just needs emphasis placed on the right details. It's useless to just say this, so I've made a mock-up of a preferable state for the downloads page; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:PROP_DownloadsPage_110606NS.jpg I don't know how possible that is to implement, but I'm happy to cough up the images of someone is willing. Your mockup is too important to hide it under this thread. We should make an own thread for this and invide the website-ml for discussion. But essentially, I honestly don't think the Adopt-o-meter graphics are helping things right now. I think users just need to see a big fat friendly green download button with all the affordances they've come to expect. I think the adopt-a-meter is essentially marketing-jazz on what is essentially Usability-turf. Just my opinion though. -Nik PS. I realised my mock-up doesn't have download-size listed anywhere, my bad. k-j -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Did you think about something like this? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/c/c4/Download_page_adapt-o-meter.png I uploaded the tachometers to the wiki: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Adapt-o-meter_early.png This picture tells me that it is dangerous to use the actual version 3.4.0 because it is in the red (or orange) area. And when we have 3.4.1 or higher it is the same. But 3.4.1 will be a release with bug fixes. Red/orange areas should only be for betas/RCs but not for actual versions. All actual versions should be in a green area. I personally don't like such a adopt-o-meter which looks like a speedometer to show which version is the best. It's looks rowdy, ostentatious for me (The Fast and the Furios). Bernhard's first and Vamsi's proposals show a more reputable software. And even the version 3.4.0 *is* a reputable version. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/c/c4/Download_page_adapt-o-meter.png This mockup shows the problem when we use a circular button. It is getting too wide if we put two meters side by side. My 0.5 cents An other proposal: What do you think about an interactive adopt-o-meter? We have a bar like Vamsi's fith proposal with Stability and Features but only showing the version where the moveable slider is. When the user slides the sliding pot he views an other version.

And remove it on Thursday, when DFD is over? I'd prefer to have a Keep on donating banner there as well, but your comment is reasonable: The problem is: We should not decide about the banner in a fast way. This banner (without the DFD but with the text) should be our banner for the next time. We must/want to change the current banner and develop a new. So we should have only the DFD banner for tomorrow - and no banner at all until we have created a new Donate!-Banner. We can put the old banner back as long as we have no new banner.

Today is the last day for adding motif proposals to the Wiki page; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Motif I've added mine (at the bottom). And a very hasty description because I'm running short on time. Mainly, my theme centres on the collaboration/community aspect. And some exploration of the clipped corner. Most of my shapes occur in six-sided configurations to reflect the writer/calc/base/draw... apps. Good luck with your own proposals. Remember, they don't have to be perfect, they just have to be ready enough to be voted on. We can refine them as a team a little later. Hopefully we can stick to the proposed timeline and go to a vote end of this week. now for some feedback When I saw the 6 for the first time I would take OpenBook. But after a while I think that the first (MessyStack) looks fresher. MessyStack: First I was irritated by the transparency of the messy pages. The logo is quite good and on the right place. It was my first eye catch on this shape. Maybe we can make 6 sheets and on the left edge of each sheet we can put one of the coloured triangles OpenBook: The logo isn't shown as good as in the others Proposal: The same with the pages and the coloured triangles as in MessyStack ApplicationCorners: There are three motifs to look at: on the left top, on the right top and on the right bottom. My eyes are irritated where to look. DocumentFlower: It looks a little bit like in the seventies (1970s). In Germany we had a 'Pril' flower that looks like it (a dish detergent). FoldedPage: I can't identify what the motif on the right side is. For me it is a green, transparency big point. Nothing else. I think the logo should be on the right side.
