Kubuntu Website Sprint Report
This is the report of the Kubuntu Sprint for the Kubuntu Website.
Purpose of the Sprint:
* Review the Wordpress theme that Subhajit Mukherjee
<subhaji...@gmail.com> (bukai) made
* Decide wether we should use that theme on out new Kubuntu website
* If YES:
* Edit what needs editing
* Publish the theme on the temporary site
* If NO:
* Write a report (this report) explaining why we chose not to
use it
* Find a suitable theme
* Set it up on a test site
*Conclusions why not to use Bukai's theme:*
* Navigation bar dissapears on smaller window/screen width
* Navigation bar is nonexistant on mobile phones
* Facebook side thingy cannot be closed on mobile devices (Android &
Windows Phone)
* Loading the page takes a lot of time (~*2,93 <-> ~6,61 seconds*) (*6,7
MB*) Compared to other Wordpress pages, it's slower than average
* The theme is a fork from https://github.com/toddmotto/html5blank[1] and
many other projects and throughout the theme *there's not much mention of where
each component came from*
* The theme is very fragmented, composed of multiple projects put
together but not optimized
* There's no commit history so we can complete the upper
* Homepage is not intuitive, and not uniform
* Social feeds are not fluid in the theme
* On small screens the recent posts images are HUGE, taking up to much of
the screen, and there's not post title.
* The fact that the pictures are not resized properly is not relevant,
that can be aranged, regardles of the theme used
* There is a need for a maintainer for this theme, to continusly update
it, secure it and optimize it
*Proposed theme to be used: Advertica Lite[2] *
*Reasons:*
* Professional coorporate theme with modern design
* Highly flexible and customisable
* Great code design that makes the theme easily customisable
* Professional third-party maintenance
* Speedy load time (~*2,29 seconds*) (*158KB*)
This theme is currently set up at http://kubwp.kubuntu.co.uk/[3] just as a
proof of concept.
We still need to:
* optimize images
* do some content cleanup
* do category cleanup
* do tags cleanup
* do media cleanup
* rearange download page
* rearange other pages
* get feedback at every step.
We got some suggestions from Quintasan from his flatmate
http://k.abramowicz.org/kubuntu/[4]. This provides great inspiration for the
Download page IMO.
His design is great. I'd change the color palette. The problem is that that
theme is just a layout, not a WordPress theme.
Jonathan also joined us for a few minutes and shared his opinion with us.
The hope is that the site will be up and running for the 15.04 release.
