Hi Rod
I made a few notes about the first page http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/rodnorman44/OFE/home.htm
=====================
[NOTE SMC: I think there is too much text on the first page and it's not clear what people should do on this page. I suggest we make it shorter. My suggested text is below]
The Certified Open® database includes data on products, suppliers, support, and compliance with the Certified Open® certification mark.
The Certified Open® database helps to speed up information-gathering and decision-making in practical procurment, with a focus on evaluating the amount of lock-in that incurs when products are deployed by users.
Vendors can self-certify their products by entering data directly into the Certified Open® database.
Product Owners - You will need to register and obtain a login prior to product entry. Registration should be company name
Options:
Vendors: Users: Add a product listing Search for a product Modify a product listing Object to a product listing Delete a product listing Account details
[NOTE SMC: I don't think account enquiries and modification of accounts belongs in two different links in the vendor section. These two fields appear to be too closely connected. Perhaps this link should lead to a page listing 'Account Enquiry' information, which links to a page allowing you to Modify the account.]
Note1: Use basic Plone registration only, no form details required. [NOTE SMC: I have no idea what this note is, and I don't think our customers should have to either. They should never know or care that we are using Plone.]
Note2: Product owners will be given access to #1-5 after Login only. #8 - Administrator will be visible to Plone Managers only. [NOTE SMC: If an option is available to an administrator of Plone, then it's not something our customers need to know about. I suggest we delete this note.]
