[Kolab-devel] Webpage Improvement Plans

[Bernhard Reiter]

www.kolab.org badly needs a makeover.
Attached are a few unfinished notes for a concept.
I decided to publish it yet to inspire thoughts 
and identify people that want to help.

What do you think?

How to improve www.kolab.org
----------------------------
(20050216ber)

	Analysing:

		We need:

		b) install sections, with infos from wiki and various docs
			1 server
			2 kde client

		c) New screenshots -> we can take some of CVS proko2-docs

		d) split up main page in 
			1 server
			2 clients

		e) New order for navigation bar
		We show too many levels in a more artifical structure.
		The graphical representation does not explain itself.

		f) add a search link
		(via intevation.org first), secondly have a kolab search

		g) update texts

		h) Do not link the kolab Homepage from the homepage.
		
		i) Link kolab2-clients.html

		j) add a "support" section with commercial support
		with the four companies.

The mainpage should only have
	i) overview, What is it
	ii) News, what is new in Kolab's world
	iii) Navigation bar

Most important, but also difficult is e).
e) is also the prerequisite to nicely link b) and d).
Question: shall I make a beta page for the structure?

Proposal:
