→Design Questions: +moar
UI designs have been broken up into two categories: official designs, and speculative designs. Official designs are displayed first, in reverse chronological order, so that the current design target is obvious. Speculative designs are below, also in reverse chronological order, since that’s the most likely order they will be discussed in. "Out-of-date" designs may get deleted as work progresses.
==Design QuestionsDecisions==* A Branded Firefox 404 page should override default Apache error warnings.**We believe that overriding default 404 error pages is in the best interest of the user. While these pages can occasionally be useful to some users for testing, for most users they provide very little; an explanation that only makes sense to technical users, the name of the server, and no tools. If this page could be substituted for a page that gives intelligent suggestions and a better explanation, it would be useful both to experienced users and new users.**Currently, IE and Chrome override 404 pages, while Safari, Opera, and Firefox do not. While there's no way (?) to automatically check if a 404 page is the default Apache one, IE and Chrome place a limit of bytes and direct to their branded 404 pages if the result is less than that.*More information about the error and suggestions should be provided to users, but on a link off of the network error page rather than written on it directly. Is it possible to link to a page with more information about the problem?
* Should indication that the error is "404" or "DNS Not Found" be provided in the first screen?
* How many alternatives should be shown, and how closely should those match user input?
