Problem with the new links modification
If a language link for e.g. Portuguese is selected under the spanish version of [languages], it shows error "404 not found". The other language versions have the same problem. A possible solution for that is to use the full url address.
- You are correct. Since the depth of the relative path can vary depending upon how you enter the site, I guess I have no choice but to use absolute pathnames. Thanks for catching this. --Walter 08:23, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
Shouldn't the static site have a language list in it's first page? Having to navigate through:
- www.laptop.org
- hit whichever icon (vision, laptop, participate, or children)
- find the languages link — which is not too obvious (top right) and is in english
- browse the list
- browse the site in your native language...
...is not user friendly!
Not to mention that the list is sorted by what looks like a random function and no distinction is made between the old style and the new style of the site...
My suggestion is:
- have a list of links to the new version languages available in the front-page (per language or included?)
- maybe have a last option denoting something like older versions, which is a link to the list
- re-organize the list of available languages either by language/site-version or site-version/language or something...
