[WWW] Download button on home page footer modification
Hi all--
Right now when you click on the "I want to download OpenOffice.org" on
the home page, you get a LARGE button to click to start the download,
but also have an additional footer area with the following links:
* Get all platforms and languages
* Release notes
* MD5 checksums
* ISO images
* order CD-ROM
* P2P downloads
I am contemplating chagng "Release Notes" to "More Download Information"
and routing folks to http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
which HAS release notes in addition to other information -- installation
guides, etc.
Does anyone take issue with this relatively minor edit?

I understand. Oddly this page you're referring to does not include
either release notes, or installation instructions which I why I want to
do this.

I remember there was already the link "Other platforms and languages"
which referred to the "other.html" webpage. I just added some others
(over the time) to point the users directly to the wished information,
so that they don't need to go over the download area.
Today it's maybe a bit too much information. I don't know. ;-)

You mean under the green download button there will be only the following?
"Get all platforms and languages" | "More Download Information"
If so, go for it.
