Then, maybe, we name it according to the kind of +</I>><i> installation rather than something confusing, and we have a way for +</I>><i> a new user - I'm thinking new-to-Linux as much as new-to-Mageia - to +</I>><i> discover a) what each of them means *and* b) which of them will suit +</I>><i> this user at the moment. A "what does each one do" set of information +</I>><i> and a "which one do I want" set of information. +</I> +Yes. Simple. + +So that would make: + * Mageia 1 DVD (32 or 64bit) + * Mageia 1 dual arch CD + * Mageia 1 netinstall CD + * Mageia 1 LiveCD (32, 64bit, locale specific) + * Mageia 1 Mobile (for an equivalent to Flash) + +that we can explain in a download/selection page depending on the +intended uses, with a set of default download made available in one +click (typically, that could be the 32bit LiveCD or dualarch CD). + +><i> It would be good to name Mageia releases/iterations/flavours in a +</I>><i> way that says to the newcomer: "this is for you! We hope you like it!" +</I>><i> and even "if you like it, maybe you'll join us?" +</I> +Definitely yes. That could be "platform"; although, speaking of +"Mageia platform" may refer to the project itself, the infrastructure, +or the end-product-distribution. Hence maybe the need to consider a +product-focused" name in the future, distinct from "Mageia" (that +would be the project's name). + +>><i> Yes! To find the right balance, and delivering it as a useful, +</I>>><i> clear, to the point doc, still attractive and welcoming. We can do +</I>>><i> it. We can do it. There's a lot to learn from Rails and similar +</I>>><i> modern web dev tools online documentation that is far ahead. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Documentation is often the poor relation, but it's the place where +</I>><i> makers talk to users; it's the place where we can be the most +</I>><i> welcoming - like a gateway into the community. Worth doing. +</I> +Totally agree. I would hope that we get to the point of having +something like <A HREF="http://developer.mozilla.org/">http://developer.mozilla.org/</A> equivalent for the +developer/technical contributor side and st equivalent for +users/newcomers. + +Romain +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000183.html">[Mageia-marketing] Fwd: Mageia product naming/scoping +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000185.html">[Mageia-marketing] Mageia product naming/scoping +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#184">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#184">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#184">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#184">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
