Description 7kaltoid 2003-08-17 17:12:08 UTC

I find it hard to believe that this hasn't been entered before.  

I quote from my recent post to users@OOo:

<quote>Go look at the OOo home page and find a link that says simply "Register". 
One shouldn't have to come to this list in order to be provided a link that 
isn't present on the home page.</quote>

A significant number of potential registered users haven't the time or desire to 
participate in the projects, yet, proselytizing for project participation is the 
only message that is presented.  It is a bad marketing approach.

Better to have the Registration link in OOo installation point to 
http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/registration-site.html

People who are interested in doing more will natuarally find the opportunity.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
