Looks ten times better than current site!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
- My 1366x768 laptop display cannot keep up with the length and width of the page.
This mockup is a static PNG (which happens to be 1020×1192). I'll make sure the actual page adapts to different resolutions. (It will definitely work fine on your resolution without horizontal scrolling.)
- I'm not sure what is the different between the 'use' and 'documentation', and community and develop - they are tightly together. How about 'Use' - 'Interact' - 'Contribute' : use (which will encompass download and documentation), Contribute (for develop) and Interact (for community)
I'm open for discussing the wording. However, I chose the names for the navigation for a few reasons: 1) People are strongly conditioned to look for the word "download". It's an very important keyword to have on every software-related site. I added "use" there as well, as a place to give quick start information as well as possible uses — the latter of which would link to the documentation. (Use = getting started information.) 2) Community is a commonly used word among developers, so it's used in the mockup for similar reasons. (It's not as strong as a word as download is, however, but it does have a extremely close association with FOSS projects.) The section will contain information about the community involvement, governance, mailing lists, and information on how to join IRC. Documentation is a top-level section, as: • we have quite a lot of documentation already • it provides a quick link for those who want to do something more with the oVirt instance they have set up • it is primarily focused on end-user documentation, not developer documentation (hence the develop area) As for your other suggestions: • Interact may mean interacting with the oVirt software, the oVirt community, or even oVirt.org itself (as if the site would be a hosted service, for example). It's a bit ambiguous, and the navigation should strive to be very clear places to navigate to. • "Contribute" might work instead of "develop". Summary: I chose the sections, words, and even the order for the navigation with purpose. Your suggestion of "contribute" could be a replacement for "develop", but it would require further thought (and perhaps some discussion). Thanks for your feedback! Garrett
