Re: Proposed change for download page
Hi Matthias, Just my 2¢ I have reread the post "Zusammenarbeit Programme von Apache OO-Base und Java-JRE" http://de.openoffice.info/viewtopic.php?p=293070#p293070 A user was surprised to find out that (1) AOO hadn't not been installed in 64-bit folder and (2) that there is no easily accessible information on 32-bit/64-bit version. Earlier in this thread you wrote: "And after the change I expect users to ask, why they can't find a version for their 64-bit Windows." That makes me wonder if the title for Windows i.e. "OpenOffice and Java - What to do?" will give a clue to issues (1) & (2) above. Next question: is the position and colour of the title adequate? Will an ordinary user ever spot it? Perhaps the colour could be a bit more discernible and the title be placed to the right of the "Download language pack" button? And slightly off-topic: Using the search term "openoffice 32 bit" I landed on page "Apache OpenOffice for Windows" (not up to date, plus one typo). https://www.openoffice.org/product/windows.html There is a passage: "Please note: Apache OpenOffice is distributed as a 32-bit application.

I mentioned "sub-chapters" but I understand you would better like to have "sub-pages"? That sounds nice... If we wanted to make different sub-pages, I would just get rid of Step_by_step [1] and substitute it with: - Step_by_step_Linux - Step_by_step_macOS - Step_by_step_Windows Then, if we add lots of Linux distros, they will not bother Windows and Mac users. The new pages would be directly linked by the building guide. I don't think it would be useful to keep Step_by_step [1] just as an index of the other pages. Did I understand your proposal correctly, Marcus?

One reason is that on my window the link is too wide and “choose?” Is wrapped to below the buttons anyway. interesting. I'm working with a large resolution and big browser windows (mostly fullsize). So, problems are not always visible. As the text position is already in discussion it seems to be another good argument to place the text elsewhere. After choosing the favorite platform the users attention is still at the 3 buttons (platform, language, version). So it's the best to place the text directly below these buttons. To place it to the right of the 2 download buttons is in this second no longer in the users focus. Now it's "I want my download, now". ;-) @All: Let me play a bit with the download page.
