Re: [xwiki-devs] Redesign of Download page (was Re: [Proposal] Optional Contact Form in the download page)

Hi everyone, Thanks for your feedback on my previous mail on this topic. I've discussed it more with Gregory and Emilie and here's what we'd like to propose now: * Add a Profesional Services heading on the download which would contain ** Some text explaining about community support and linking to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support (which already describes community support) ** A livetable containing companies offering professional services for XWiki. The columns would be: *** Logo *** Company name *** Number of active committers *** Link to the correct anchor on the Support page ( http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support) ** The livetable would only show 3 entries ** The livetable would be sorted by active committers by default ** A text that explains how to add a new company to the list and which would point to the Governance page ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance) * We will remove the current XWiki SAS support link since that information will be moved to the livetable * Rework the download page so that when a download link is clicked, it opens a new page containing the feedback questionnaire while the download happens ** Note that for this to be technically possible I propose to remove the link to the OW2 mirrors and instead link to the only existing mirror (OW2 seems to have only 1...). If not, we would need some code to compute which OW2 mirror to use based on the location. * The feedback questionnaire page would contain the following: ** The following questionnaire: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/SatisfactionSurveyProducts(let&#… tune the questions together) ** The questionnaire would start with a first question asking to which companies it should be sent to. We would list all companies offering professional support (using checkboxes) with a special text for the top one ("Top contributor") and in parenthesis listing the number of active committers. For example: [ ] XWiki SAS - Top contributor with 15 active committers [ ] Softec - 1 active committer ** A text explaining that it's optional and what the questionnaire will be used for, i.e. that *** it will be published anonymously on xwiki.org to improve the product *** it will be sent to the companies for which the user has checked the box We've tried to design this proposal with taking 2 ideas into account: 1) that it's fair and that all companies can have a fair visibility 2) that it's visible which companies contribute the most (to reward their contributions) WDYT?
