[Foundation-l] Books
As there doesn't seem to be any meta or local wiki page for this I thought I'd send this here. I've been testing the new PDF versions and they're pretty cool. I have a concerns about general layout and format though: - The article title appear at the top of all pages. this looks bad on the first page because there's a small title at the top and a much bigger title underneath. One of them needs to be removed from the first page. - Alternate text for images appears instead of the caption, *including*the alt= bit. - A lot of tables don't look anyhting like they do in the article - Because infoboxes are huge and pictures in them are right aligned they take up a tiny bit of the bottom left corner of the infobox image field, the rest is blank - images such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:North.svg which are basically tiny 17px icons with arrows on them show up HUGE, taking up whole pages and throwing hte text out of line. - For multiple articles in the same book the next article should always start a fresh page. Having the title at the bottom and no text then loads of text with no title on the next page isn't great. Overall though I like the knew feature what do you guys think? ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Re: [Foundation-l] How will we handle the license migration for images/media?
2009/2/28 Ryan Kaldari kald...@gmail.com: It's my understanding from the relicensing FAQ that we will be dual licensing GFDL images in addition to text. It seems this will present a unique problem, however, since images and media files are licensed individually by the uploader rather than bulk licensed like Wikipedia text. How would the relicensing of these files actually be accomplished? I can imagine several approaches, none of them easy: I've added this issue as an open question to the relicensing FAQ page on meta. Can be done through template and upload form modification for the most part. GFDL 1.2 only images are an issue (as are FAL) but they can be dealt with when the time comes. Cleanup can also be addressed at a later. -- geni ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
