Hi Andre,
I didn't find anything unusual in the HTML code of index.html.
The missing "member-features" (2.) are a result of making the page
static. The static version can't be personalized.
May be the missing "general project info" (1.) is also a result of
making the page static.
Louis, do you see anything wrong in the HTML code?
If not, we should assign to support to get the final answer.
Greetings, Stefan

Hi
I couldn't find anything amiss.  very likely something is wrong with the relevant 
template but I could not find that.
reassigning to support.

Louis:

When I'm logged in to the de.ooo project I see all the relevant links
that I should be seeing as specified in item #2.

But for Item #1 -What content should the page be displaying? Do you
have a sample html page I can look at that it should be loading? Or is
it a separate template that gets loaded as a header in the links at
the top? I do notice that the links on the left nav bar do redirect to
the main www pages, but I think that is due to the way the page was
set up. Could you clarify a bit more please? Thanks

I go to de.openoffice.org and I do not see:
Project:     [project name]     

     Edit        this Project       |              Request New Project Role

go to http://website.openoffice.org, for instance, to see what we mean (but be 
prepared to be freaked out by other things on website ;) )



          

hm. I think I might be able to shed light. DE/www/index.html is staticized, I think. 
this may be affecting things. that is, all login information may be hidden as a result.
louis

Ok, so knowing, that this is not due to an error of the html-code, we
may put a static link for joining the project on top of the page.

But I's prefere the either "register or log in" or "join" link, in
case you are logged in or not. It is much easier for volunteers to
join the project if thei see, if they actually are able to do so
(registerd user, logged in, cookies enabled).

ST: could you address Andre's question about changing the content on
the static page?

I understand Andre's request that he would like to have dynamic
content on a static page :-)
Andre, I agree that link depending on the login status are more
convenient, but de.openoffice.org is too popular.
Greetings, Stefan

Andre,
the pages were staticized when mention was made of the magazine heise, which was 
immensely popular. We can request that the pages be de-staticized most of the time, 
and only staticized when you think it that there is some reason. The result of having 
it de-staticized is some significant slowness (depending on number of hits).

I will request that the page be de-staticized.

Kenneth, I'll request it of CN ops...
thanks
Louis 

Louis, Stephan, thanks for information, why this "error" occures.
Please leave the site staticized for the moment. I'd rather ask users
about that, because speed is important, too.

I've heard of some users, happy with the speed of de.openoffice.org,
but unhappy with other ooo-sites. 

Do we have a number, how much slower a dynamic page will be (could the
stats give such a number)?

I'll give an update, if the site should be left static or not in about
three or four days. Is this ok to you?

I'll leave it static until you tell me otherwise. 
As to information on how much slower... I don't know exactly.  It depends on usage. If 
heise publishes something, it will be dramatically slower. If not much occurs, it will be 
only some bit slower--noticeable, but still usable.

We may be able to arrange a workaround, e.g., a hard link to project registration.  I 
think that may be possible but I'll have to investigate. 

**In the absence of that, have a link on the page asking users to send a note to you 
indicating what role they want, their username, email, and skills. In fact, it's better 
information than the standard template allows.
-louis

we will discuss a workaround at germanophone project, because speed is
very important. And we are definately not willing to reduce the
traffic for de.openoffice.org ;-)
