Sorry for top posting, but I think we've discussed this enough to have
a sense of what our constraints are.
A quick proposal:
Let's start from this page:
http://www.openoffice.org/product/
That is linked to prominently from the homepage and the top navigation bar.
I propose adding a new section to the left navigation panel, between
"Products" and "More". The new section will be called "Platforms" and
will link to four pages:
1) Windows
2) Mac
3) Linux
4) Ports
The first three will be new landing pages. The last one will link to
the existing /porting page.
Each of the platform pages will have basic system requirements and a
link to the download page. They pages can grow to contain (or link to)
other platform specific instructions or FAQ's.
