I can put PA 3 reviewer guide together later.

Plasma Active logo (in svg if available)

verification that press contacts are the same
updated information on hardware and testing Plasma Active in a virtual machine


I just went through the reviewer guide and found three wrong links in there:
- Both the announcement and press kit each link to the PA1 version (though the 
link text is correct)

- The link to the demo video on Youtube points to a video which has been removed

The presskit (other than containing the above errors in the reviewer guide) 
seems fine :)

 some suggested minor edits for the taglines at the top of the PA3 website,
 mostly little grammar improvements:

on http://plasma-active.org/3/

I've now added the calendar screenshot, added the social network sharing icons 
that today's youngsters like, updated the new in plasma active 3 section

big problems remaining in the site:
* press kit/reviewer guide: still old links to pa2 stuff

* the big Get it link link goes to a wiki page that makes not much clear 
where to download stuff, should maybe be a direct link to the iso

*Check it out section: i adjusted the text a bit, can still use some 
improvement. here the download link points to the folder the iso will appear 
on basyskom website (other question: the balsam part will still be there? i 
know Sascha was doing something on it)

Cheers,

The problem with a direct link to the ISO would be that people don't know what 
to do with it. We should point them to a place where they find installation 
instructions as well as the ISO itself. Maybe we need a better Wiki page?

A small nitpick: The About the project column lists a few people as 
basyskom who afaik are currently not paid by basyskom anymore. Maybe that 
should be updated?

 makes pretty obvious how outdated kontact touch looks and behaves compared
 to the rest tough :p

Maybe it could have some events in the calendar? :)

Cheerio,

taglines on PA3 website.

2012-10-02 Thread Aaron J. Seigo
hi...

some suggested minor edits for the taglines at the top of the PA3 website, 
mostly little grammar improvements:

divPlasma Activebr/An interface for people on the 
move./div
divOrganize your workflow with the power of 
activities./div
divSharing has never been this easy./div
divYes, we have an addons store. You can have one, 
too./div
divPower to the user with our semantic file 
browser./div
divTop of the class document viewer and e-book 
reader./div


note that i switched the order of Activities to the top. this lets us talk 
about Activities first later on, which is the foundational concept here.

i'm on the fence with Power to the users with our semantic file browser. 
since it uses the technical and unfamiliar term semantic and it doesn't 
particularly say anything about the benefit of it (Power to the user is kind 
of a generic rah-rah slogan :). sth that talks directly to the benefit might 
be more effective, such as All files are at your fingertips with the semantic 
file browser. it still uses the word semantic, but it now hints as to the 
benefit a bit more?

if this is to be the elevator pitch, i really think we need an entry there for 
Kontact Touch. email/calendaring is a BIG deal for us. it's a feature set most 
devices don't do well or even at all.

are we going to have a page somewhere about each of these items? i think it 
would be a good idea to do so, and i'd be willing to crank out the text for at 
least one per day so we can describe the full benefits more.

the text below What is Plasma Active should then reflect these main points 
above in the list of things we're talking about it (the list that currently 
starts with activities). that means the same nouns in the same order as they 
appear in the slideshow.

thoughts?

Some more nitpicking: addons - Add-Ons (or whatever we'll settle on). Lowercase 
addons just looks too generic to me.

updated the text/order on the website

what about just a more powerful document management ?


It's files in general, not only documents (semantic browsing is just as useful 
for photos or music as it is for documents). I'd still like to have a more 
specific adjective than just powerful, but I haven't found a good one yet :(



if this is to be the elevator pitch, i really think we need an entry there
for Kontact Touch. email/calendaring is a BIG deal for us. it's a feature
set most devices don't do well or even at all.

i'll do full sized screenshots today (ivan, could you make the fake device
thing for those as well?)


Creating a screenshot which makes Kontact Touch look cool on a tablet screen 
isn't exactly an easy task. It still shows that it wasn't originally designed 
for tablets



are we going to have a page somewhere about each of these items? i think it
would be a good idea to do so, and i'd be willing to crank out the text for
at least one per day so we can describe the full benefits more.


if there is text yeah (i can help, but need more basic grammar check ;)

maybe just a bigger screenshot with a couple of paragraphs below?



the text below What is Plasma Active should then reflect these main
points above in the list of things we're talking about it (the list that
currently starts with activities). that means the same nouns in the same
order as they appear in the slideshow.


yeah, the text comes still from the pa2 release, may use some update
