Is this better, eye-strain wise?

  http://staging.gluster.org

In theory (!) the much lighter colour should help a bunch.  Eco
will be getting this pushed to the main website sometime later
on today. :)

Re: [Gluster-users] Gluster.org site relaunch

2014-07-17 Thread Eco Willson
All,

I have created an etherpad for tracking issues on the site:

https://titanpad.com/gluster-site-relaunch-todo

We are fine tuning a new staging server to check the changes at to make the 
process of building the site go smoother. Until it is put into DNS it can be 
accessed directly at http://23.253.126.183/  (you can see Garrett's new graphic 
incorporated there as well).  I will be adding the Downloads page and fixing 
the HowTo page tomorrow, with a note sent after it is finished.  Please add any 
additional items you do not see listed in the etherpad.

Thanks,

Eco

No, I don't think we need icons.
Redirecting to a auto-generated diretory list without any pre-caution 
makes feel me awkward.
I just would like a simple page which includes at least the following:

- Which version is the latest, and a link to the directory
- List of package names and short descriptions
- Link to quick start (how to install) page

like this http://ceph.com/resources/downloads/

Garrett's given us a new, lighter, background pic to use.

Eco will probably throw it up on the staging server
(staging.gluster.org) either tonight or on monday, so
everyone can take a look and see if that fixes thing. :)

Yeah, thinking about it more, a wiki type of approach will be a lot
easier for people than a git repo one.

We should probably keep the wiki around, until we figure out a good
"ease of use" approach.  (which could just be "lets keep the wiki")

Yeah, I was thinking similar yesterday evening.  For me it's hard to
read mostly in the top right hand general area, as the background is
now a lot darker.

I'll ping the design guy and ask him to adjust the pic so it doesn't
go so dark in the gradient.  Lets see if that helps. :)

Re: [Gluster-users] Gluster.org site relaunch

2014-07-11 Thread Roman.Bigler
I agree with John here, and consider myself in the young camp and have sharp 
vision.

IMO, larger text sections are not only difficult to read; but essentially 
unreadable by the
most basic typographic standards. The clouds are just not enough of an uniform 
background for
text sections with a smaller font size (It works well for the landing page for 
this reason, where there
is a big title and few text paragraphs). 

You should either blur out the background image where necessary or provide a 
underlay for larger 
text paragraphs. Similar to the spotlight section on the landing page (by the 
way, under Safari 
on OS X the text there bleeds out on the right side).

That being said; I like the font you chose. It looks good on non-hidpi 
(“Retina”) resolutions, I suspect
on high dpi displays it’s even better (future-proof!).

regards,
Roman

Hi Eco,

Thank you for the quick update.

I have another suggestion:
"RPM/Source Download", "Ubuntu PPA" and "Administrator Guide" links 
navigate you to another website. At least they should be marked 
explicitly as external like Wikipedia.
For the download links, putting them to a single "Downloads" page and 
adding some explanations would be helpful.


Regards,

Haruka

I agree that the background makes it harder to read. It is also somewhat broken 
when I'm reading on my phone and zoom out to see the whole page... The cloud 
background is only shown on the original view pane from before i zoomed out, 
the rest jmis just a white background. Granted I'm on windows phone, so I

It looks very pretty. Unfortunately, the background which makes it look
pretty also makes it difficult to read the text, as it greatly reduces
the contrast. It's bad enough with the grey text but blue text on a blue
background? Such a scheme may be alright for young eyes but for me it's

For documentation:
1) Grab the docs project
2) Make your changes
3) Commit in git

For making changes directly to the site (e.g. to add navigation for newly added 
pages, to change existing navigation, add media etc)
1) Request access to modify the gluster-site repo
2) Grab the site repo
3) Make changes
4) Commit in git

For clarity, it is still entirely possible to edit the wiki now, the drawback 
being that at some point it will need to be ported from the wiki into the new 
site (this is fairly painless via pandoc and some quick editing, which i will 
include in the documentation).

Joe,

I agree with your strong disagreement ;)  There is no intent to remove 
community involvement in the documentation, this is obviously critical.  The 
change is simply in the mechanism (git).  There is no link on the new site to 
the wiki since the intent is to make that legacy.  As for the howto section, 
that section apparently was missed, I can add a placeholder link to the old 
wiki in the meantime until we convert those docs.

It was not clear to me where the HOWTO section in documentation is in the new 
doc page, it was easily locatable on the old one. It has information we should 
not lose. 

A "search" button would be a huge help with this website.

Re: [Gluster-users] Gluster.org site relaunch

2014-07-10 Thread Eco Willson
All,

Thanks for the rapid feedback. 

Haruka: I made a few changes that address most of the issues here:  In addition 
to the link in the Documentation section, I added an About section to the top 
navigation of the front page.  The image on the About page should be fixed.  
The social media buttons are removed for now since they should actually be on 
the front page but that is not a priority item at the moment.  

Neils:  I am working on full documentation of how to update the site so that 
community members can work on issues as they find them as well as update any 
documentation that is out of date.  Once this is in place that will be the 
preferred way to add documentation going forward, the wiki should be considered 
legacy.

Anders:  The administrators guide that was linked before was very out of date, 
the link now is to the most current documentation.  We can look into posting 
the old admin guide elsewhere if it is helpful.  Vijay (and/or anyone from the 
docs team) are there plans to continue making a PDF version of the docs 
available?  We can reference that as well.

Please keep the feedback coming!

Regards,

Eco

Looks very nice, well done!

At least some of the current documentation pages seem to be a scrape 
from the wiki [1]. Quite some pages in the wiki are updated on regular 
basis, and this causes some of the new documentation pages be 
out-of-date already. Posting the procedures to trigger a re-sync of the 
contents from the wiki would be most welcome. (Or, of course, any other 
plans to replace the wiki, new skin, ...)

Thanks,
Niels
