Snapshots and Demo of Products
To the webmasters of www.zope.org and others. When I browse the directory of Products on the zope.org site I realize that the thing I'm missing the most is screenshots and demos of various products. On Product pages on zope.org the default sections are: - name - description - changes - contact - license and download I urge these to be default sections as well: - screenshots - demo This improves the user friendliness of the whole website and might make surfers more likely to download and install the product when they can SEE what it is. This is especially important for the Zope product itself. I have noticed that the first thing I do when I browse zope competitors homesites, is to look at screenshots. So if webmasters of zope.org can push for this and product developers can open their photoshop or gimp and save themselves a couple of jpegs, that would be great!

Totally agree with you. Screenshot are very important. I have also noticed the lack of information about many products. Sometimes I have to guess what the product does or search the mailing-list for more information. And think about creating enough documentation. Peter Peter Bengtsson skrev:

How about viewlets (www.qarbon.com)? Found it to be pretty slick and nice. On Fri, Jul 28, 2000 at 03:25:44PM +0200, Peter Arvidsson wrote:
