Description

Hi again,

I think the extensions installation instructions on the LibreOffice international website to be very difficult to find (or did I miss smthg?).

On the international webpages, these instrcutions are somewhere in the wiki pages.

You've got to follow the route:
1. 'Improve it' main menu ('Discover' and 'Get help' are dead ends, for what I can tell, while this is where I'd expect to finding the wanted information)
2. 'Wiki' (what's a wiki? John Doe asks)
3. In the 'Teams' column (yes? Does John Doe know about what a Team is?), click the 'FAQ' entry
4. Then 'General'
5. and get to the 'Extensions' section where the Graal entries sit... Ouch!

I think only courageous people and Sherlock Holmes's will find this. Or is this a hide and seek game of sorts?

Suggestion: make this entry (esp. the installation page) prominent right away, from a more direct and understandable page ('Get help' would be a good place, don't you think?). Better yet: a dedicated page that contains what's in the wiki 'Extensions' section. Having a direct link from the Extensions pages is also a need (see my other ticket).

Best,
--

Duplicate of rdm#3604? Anyway, a short instruction might be informative for some.

This ticket is adding details about the problem, from the main website POV, not from the extension site POV.

Olivier, Ilmari: What do you think where this info should be located (on the new website)?

Why not have the info on the extensions site and then we just need to link to the extensions site? Or link from extensions site to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General#Extensions

Link to extensions site from the main website could be in the footer.

IMO, extensions need to be highlighted as a feature on the main website, not any subsite.
