Should we have a webdev list?
We discussed using the tags [WWW] last year.
In the past we did had dedicated list for each line of the project.
I am not sure this is something that should be discussed as the
work on redesign start growing.
Generally everything should be here.
Some suggestions on the design of the site: - Show the product,
currently there is nothing visual that relates the software with
office productivity.
Perhaps we should setup an area in ooo-site where we can have a
design contest. Let me think about how to do that technically using
the CMS.
Kay - you should continue to with whatever efforts you have in mind
with the main page. What I am thinking about is redesigning the
headers and footers.
oh -- OK
I need to get back into more extensive learning with the CMS too. :/
Right now, I have some recent mods in
http://www.openoffice.org/test/
to deal with the horizontal scrolling and trying to put "constant" items
we have in the right side area into permanent areas in the left hand column.
We can continue to use this area -- test. I would request that since I am
working on "index.html" which I hope to finish up and put into production
soon, that new designs be given some different name, along with alternative
names for the basic style sheets.
[ In this regard, PLEASE HELP fix the styling on my links under the social
area. I can not get this line to "move over" to align with the one above
AND keep this coloring for the links. Desperately in need of a CSS guru! ]
I think the fact that you are no longer using a <p> tag is what makes it
loose the inherit style. You have <p></p><div ...>Twitter, Google+</div>.
Well...all I can tell you is I used many many many permutations
yesterday trying to get this do what I wanted it to. :) to no use...
I confess I am quite behind in my CSS and at this point.
I will try to do some quick catch up in this regard, and maybe some
rather large edits are needed to do something as simple as i'd like.
- Responsive design, mobile browsers, tablets and devices can have
different dimensions on the site, having a RD conformant site
could help our users browse through the site.
yes...another reason to make changes
Sure. I think the best strategy might be to use a common set of css
tags in device specific css files that can then be varied according
to the dimensions of the browser.
That's one of the main reasons I wanted to do this. The two home page
columns are now laid out via percentages vs pixel widths.
- Corporate theme, ViewVC, cWiki, Forum(?), Bugzilla have their
own theme, should there be efforts to adopt the same design like
the templates/extension/wiki site.
The way the CMS works the templates used for the websites can be
ported by the sysadmins and teams in the Forum and mWiki. cWiki is
harder. I'm sure that SF can follow as well.
- Website QA - Possible broken pages due to the change in
frameworks (from Oracle to Apache) on smaller projects.
Download the source, discuss any errors, make the changes - JFDI.

With our graduation coming up soon, it might be time for us
to consider a slight update to the user portal web site --
http://www.openoffice.org/-- for this momentous occasion.
To this end, I've moved some entities to the "test"
directory, and
updated
robots.txt to not index this directory.
I've wanted to fix some of the styling for a while to deal
with
horizontal
placement issues, but I'm sure some of you have some ideas as
well.
Maybe a wiki page would be a good idea as well to present
graphic
mockups of
ideas.
Good topic to bring up.
With graduation we'll have to think about changes to two
websites. www.openoffice.org, of course. But also our project
website, which will end up at openoffice.apache.org. The
mailing lists will also update, e.g., ooo-dev@i.a.o -->
d...@openoffice.apache.org. Our subversion tree changes as
well. Ditto for Apache dist directory.
So that leads to several sets of website changes:
1) Any rebranding we need/want to do, e.g. remove "incubator"
disclaimer and references. There was talk at one point about
refreshing the logo design at this time as well.
2) Updating URL's, email list address, SVN and dist directory
references. There may be others. This is pretty much a search
& replace operation.
3) Any work to "freshen" the website UI. IMHO it is always a
good time to improve the website ;-)
I wonder if it would be a good time to rethink the default font
on the website. Look at our plain text versus Mozilla's
website, which uses OpenSans (Apache 2.0 License):
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/
http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Open+Sans
To me this is much more legible than our current font
(Liberation?)
I know we'll have quite a number of references to change after we
graduate, and I thought we were planning on using the area where
we have the Apache incubator icon for something else but I'd need
to go look that up.
re: fonts --- I'll need to investigate this. I didn't realize we
had much of anything specified. hmmmm....
Regards,
-Rob
So...get your creative juices flowing and let's see what we
can do. --
