Re: Introducing DjangoSites.Org
Hi Kai, thank you for the screenshot. My resolution is 1024x768, too and it looks the same as on your screenshot. i first thought you meant the design is broken and some text being out of bounds. i guess Christian expected the same and he suggested to make the design all fluid and this is what i did and i was just going to send a new style.css to ross. but i see that is not the point and not necessary. font-sizes are already relative and i am not going to change anything for now. as this is not a django related problem or a feature request for djangosites.org and no one else has complained about this i would set up a test page with a small change and invite you to have a look there rather than discussing it here. if anyone else has questions/suggestions about the design, feel free to contact me directly. maddiin On 24 Jun., 21:56, "Kai Kuehne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi wathi, > > On 6/24/07, wathi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > hi Kai, > > > thanks for your input. i would appreciate if you could attach a > > screenshot. > > > i am not a professional designer (yet;]), so i am lacking some > > knowledge. especially when it comes to font-size vs screen resolution. > > i promise i will investigate this so it will hopefully look convenient > > on your laptop in the near future. > > I attached the screenshot.

I've just manually updated the account to make it active, you should be able to login. Unfortunately my mail logs show the email being sent to you, so I'm at a loss as to what's happened to it.

The 'Latest Sites' will let you paginate thorugh all sites, when I get home I'll see if we can put together a page perhaps in alphabetical order, with more sites displayed per page, to try and make it more obvious as to where you should look. For 'Search' I'm looking at a few options and should be able to add something to the site within a few days. > and given that I am looking for code to use, it might be worth a dedicated > field > (as opposed to a tag) listing the availability of the code. There is a 'Source Code URL' field available which lets site owners paste a URL to the source code for their site, if it's available. We'll be adding an icon to the listings shortly to signify which sites have source code available and linked from the site.

We've got a new stylesheet in testing now which is more fluid and hopefully renders better on your machine. Hopefully it's ready to go by tonight (Melbourne, AU - GMT+10) and I'll post here when it's live. Thanks for the feedback, it's certainly appreciated by us. All, thanks for the fantastic feedback. As a whole the site seems to have been very well received, and the number of submissions has been great.

hi Kai, thanks for your input. i would appreciate if you could attach a screenshot. i am not a professional designer (yet;]), so i am lacking some knowledge. especially when it comes to font-size vs screen resolution. i promise i will investigate this so it will hopefully look convenient on your laptop in the near future. greets, maddiin On 24 Jun., 03:08, "Kai Kuehne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Forest, > > On 6/24/07, Forest Bond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Sun, Jun 24, 2007 at 01:42:26AM +0200, Kai Kuehne wrote: > > > > It's nice but I don't really like the design.

Re: Introducing DjangoSites.Org
I just hit it - looks nice - I like the tag cloud. I have been meaning to hit it ever sense I saw your post, but today I had a need and was hoping DjangoSites.Org would help. what follows is not related to content, I realize it is new and will improve over time. As a 'visitor' I get the feeling that I need to create an account to get full access to just browsing. or, maybe what I am looking for isn't here. (I havn't signed up) There should be a "list all sites" (pages of 30 or so at a time) and a "Search." For instance, right now I am looking for an event calender and a message board. (I'll start a separate thread for my quest - keep this to ds.org comments.) So I hit the site, and about all I can do is look at the tags. I am guessing that the lack of "calender" and "forum/message/blah" tags means I am out of luck for now, but A) im not 100% sure of this and B) what if someone was looking for something more obscure that wasn't a likely tag? and given that I am looking for code to use, it might be worth a dedicated field (as opposed to a tag) listing the availability of the code. I am guessing ds.org was meant as a marketing tool for django, but it seems it could easily be a developers resource as well.

It would be great if there was some sort of "Thanks for the submission! We will post your site after it is reviewed.." notice after submitting each site. Right now it just dumps you back in the homepage w/ no feedback as to whether the site submission was received or not. Otherwise, looks great so far! Thanks for putting this up..

That way, I can tell whether I want to check out the new site or not without having to go there first. * It may be a good idea to have a more prominent link to the feed in the page itself. I guess most people who use RSS know to look at the URL bar in firefox. Do all browsers provide access to feeds like that? -Forest signature.asc Description: Digital signature
