Re: RFC: What is the best layout for http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Applications/Desktop ?

Hi all, sorry not been active for ages, only been lurking for years... Some

May I suggest that as said below, all software needs a sensible entry in a 
database (the more columns the better), then, rather than fill the page with 
everything, give the user the option of searching, a simple set of dropdowns 
of available entries rather than free-form with selections from ColumnV, 
columnY, ColumnZ returns...
As to the above category, why not use national curriculum years as the age 
guide?

So a returned term might be "select all tiles from allTitles where NCY => 1 
and NCY <= 7 and subject = maths"

This would allow the screen to be neat and tidy until the user messes it up 
with his selection. ;-)

Personally I prefer the more graphical look and feel suggestions than the 
Spartan games site that was shown.
I don't care for the table of contents approach, nor do I see the need for 
hiding parts of the window.

FWIW! ;-)
