Proposal - User:Name

Proposal by Christoph
(to be done, some first ideas below)


 * Primary Target Users: End-Users, Small Businesses, Potential Contributors
 * Sub-Goals:
 * Especially target software developers until the developer support has been stabilized
 * Show that this is an international project
 * Constraints:
 * Use two-level navigation (max)
 * Avoid jumps between pages --> strict hierarchical grouping
 * Assumptions:
 * Action links can be used, e.g. for Referring to Latest Features
 * "Call for Developer" on the Welcome page
 * Ideas:
 * After detecting the OS for the download --> refer to corresponding OS installation instructions
