             Bug #: 44585
           Summary: Downloading libreoffice is too complicated
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: WWW
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: nisses.mail at home.se


My dad called me today and asked for help with getting a document writing
application so I could write a letter to the court.
I pointed him to libreoffice.org, but it was very hard to navigate him to the
right to download it on the page.

The download button on the front page seems to go to a separate download page
with lots of text on it instead of starting the download directly.
There is a lot of text to go through before finding the actual download links.
(I have no idea what the difference between 3.4.4 and 3.3.4 is btw)

A way to fix this is to start downloading when you hit the download button on
the front page (both Firefox and OpenOffice does this) with the links for
release notes and other systems / languages on the front page.

It would also be possible to optimize the download page by only displaying one
version at a time and killing or moving some text about system requirements and
release notes.
