Sure, we could have a better design… Currently pages' content is a bit
blunt. I don't think it's the right moment as the focus is on the 0.92
release. We could work on it in a few months if you want.
I also have other work, such as translating that FLOSS manual…

If they are a bit interested in style, typography or semantics like I
am, they will notice that some headings have more space above them than
others, and they will now that use of an empty paragraph to add more
space in computer writing (most probably think it's a good use).
They can also inspect the DOM (the document tree), of course.

Yes, this is a very simple change, I can commit it within one minute.
To understand what I meant, just right-click on a heading, and click the
last menu item ‘Inspect element’. The inspector should appear, showing
the document tree, and the tag/node for the heading you right-clicked
will be selected. The styles that apply to the selected node are shown
on the right.
The style property I refer to is ‘margin’.
In Firefox at least, you should see ‘main.css:line number’, indicating
the place where the rule is defined. If you click on it, you'll go to
the file.

I think we can just do it because I'm very focused on the
typography/semantics of the website and this is quite annoying…

About the commits, the wiki has some info:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Website_Development
Then I joined the project and submitted two things: a fix for the ‘TOC
nesting bug’ I detailed previously, and a fix in style to avoid overflow
of preformatted blocks, using a scrollbar — see e.g.:
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/debugging/
Therefore I had such an introduction…
However I don't have a local installation of the website as the Python
scripts don't work with me (I didn't emailed Martin about it yet, I'll
do it), and I avoid using it as it is very hard to use with my ten-year
slow computer. Fortunately I can often look carefully at what I wrote
with autistic abilities, and prove its exactness.
About caching, well, if you know the English word (I've only known the
use in computing for a long time), this is it: the website server must
compute many things to have the document it finally deliver to the
visitor. To avoid redoing those same computations for each visitor who
looks at the very same page, it caches some results to deliver them
automatically, until the variables are effectively changed (in a perfect
world). I don't have many details about what is cached for the Inkscape
website but this principle is usually sufficient to understand everything.
The ‘trunk’ is usually unique — it is the main development branch

Hi Sylvain,
For #1, I brought this up a long time ago.  Well, something very 
similar (I think it was the h3 style I wanted to tweak, or maybe h4.). 
I think the text styling needs an overhaulor at least a tweak.  Styles, 
and maybe even some classes or IDs, etc. too.  The reply at that time was 
that we were considering a new website design in the foreseeable future. 
Although it seems like it stays in the distant future, and doesn't get 
closer.  But the response was let's talk about it when we are getting a new 
design.
There's a good chance that I put most of those empty paragraphs in 
there.  The pages, and especially the pages with a lot of text, come across 
as imposing -- the wall of text, as they say.  So I think they are the best 
we can do currently.  I would not want to remove them until we have a good 
replacement.  Do you think visitors to the site recognize that it's an empty 
paragraph?  I don't see how they could know the difference, unless maybe if 
they are website designers
Are the changes you suggest something that could be made easily? 
I'll have to refresh my html, and dig in a little bit, to understand 
specifically what you mention.  In general, I understand what you're saying. 
But as far as the code itself, that's not in the front of my memory.
If the changes can be easily inserted into the css, I'd say let's do 
it.  But in this case, one change may lead to another and another.  So maybe 
better to wait until everyone is focused on the new design?  At least that's 
what I like to call "my simple-minded thoughts".
((We (Sylvain and I) might not have had a formal introduction.  So 
just for general info  I do not have a local installation of the 
website.  The only code I know is simple html, and my understanding of how

definition of "caching" and not what happens technically with the server.) 
I can add and edit the site content, using the django wysiwyg and/or the 
source/html.  And I can join discussions about the content.  But I hardly 
have any understanding of the programming side, with the trunks and commits 
and all.))
Maybe Martin and/or Maren can give updated and/or more technical 
answer for that?

For #2, I created the vast majority of what we have on the FAQ page 
today.  (Well, the text anyway.  It used to be straight html with anchors, 
but Martin installed a TOC plugin a few months ago.  Now we can only edit 
the answers.  If we need to add a new question, we have to ask Martin to do 
it.)  I updated it from the old version, which I think is still existing in 
the wiki.  (I made an updated version for the developers on the wiki too, 
but they apparently weren't interested in updating it.  So it stays out of 
date.)  Anyway, at that time, I had the option to have it all on one text 
block, or divided over 2 or more.
For myself, it was better to have it all in one block.  Most of the 
time, I worked on it locally in a text editor, and then pasted back in to 
save/publish.  The text editor makes it so much easier, because it has the 
formatting, numbered lines, find/replace, etc.  Ssooo much easier!!
And so for myself, it's still better to have it in one block.  And I 
would be happy to take on the responsibility to edit that page, if folks 
send me the info.  However, on the other hand, I do understand that might 
not be the best scenario, logistically, for the project as a whole.  So if 
everyone wants to break it up, I certainly would not object.  I wonder if 
that can be done in a seamless way?  Wouldn't there be a gap between blocks?

I can't answer #3.

All best,
brynn

Chromium is often used under GNU/Linux distributions, as it is open
source, and available in official package repositories (whereas Chrome
isn't). Please avoid using Google Chrome from now.
Chrome-based browsers are sometimes useful as Firefox is often slower.
Some browser-based apps are mainly targeted to Chrome. But fortunately
there is an open source and user-respectful alternative (really?

Here is my technique: searching once, then using F3 and typing or
pasting the replacement. I'm used to web edition.
Actually, what's the most boring is the loading of the browser: loading
the page, loading the page in edit mode, opening the editor (and opening
links — the horrible thing), saving the editor's content, publishing the
page.

I do that sometimes for long and no-risk replacements, or for
replacements with regular expressions.

I think a history is kept… Just look at the History menu when you're in
edit mode.
What do you mean by ‘it wrapped’? That spaces were not left in source code?

I love dashes and I use them very often. The problem is the use of
narrow dashes; typographic rules say to use longer dashes as the
relation between the words around the dash decreases.

Examples:
* Hyphen: The hackfest is co-located with LGM. Non-Coding.
* En-dash: 2015–2016. Isaac Newton (1643–1727). Working 5–10 minutes.
* Em-dash: Inkscape Board — working budget.

I'll think you'll easily find more examples by yourself.

Funny fact… Thus this problem is common. On MMORPGs for example, I don't
feel it so easy to ask ‘what is your gender?’ to every person I talk to.
I think the best idea is to use the language details. In French, most
qualitative adjectives change according to the gender of the qualified —
usually by taking an E. Thus this technique is very effective and may
contribute to the spelling skills of future generations.

She said this means ‘Admin’.

Related fact: I'm seeing this double-space habit on Meta-Wiki:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire&action=edit
(Look at the  part.)
Quite common too.

Our topics are going quite far from the Inkscape project, especially far
from the initial subject, the ‘Hackfest’. Martin even wonders if he must
add a feature from what we're saying.
As it is becoming personal and private, I think that if you reply again,
you should send your e-mail to me only, to avoid spamming all our mates.

[Inkscape-docs] Questions concerning the website's content

2016-06-02 Thread Sylvain Chiron
Hi all,

I have three questions concerning the website's content.

1. For more space and better reading, headings (h2) are often preceded
by an empty paragraph, e.g. in:
* https://inkscape.org/en/learn/animation/
* https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/
This is true that pages are harder to read without that space; see:
* https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/
* https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/testing/
However I have something against that practice of the empty paragraph; I
feel it as wrong semantic. Couldn't we simply add more margin at the top
of these headings? I suggest 4ex (it's currently 1.5ex).
We could also increase the margin-top of 3rd-level headings (from 1.5ex
to 2.5ex).
Then we should remove those empty paragraphs (in the source form of
 ).

2. It is quite hard to find the part we want when editing the FAQ; could
we subdivide the only text plugin in several text plugins, one for each
section?

3. Is it possible to translate the two following pages, or will it be
made possible?
* https://inkscape.org/fr/apropos/captures/
* https://inkscape.org/fr/teams/ (and why not teams themselves)

Everyone may give their opinion about the first two questions; the last
one is for those who know…

Thank you,

- I didn't give up on it, I just accepted it as a fact of life that
styles may be different. It might have taken me some time and I
apologize for that, but ultimately, the only thing that matters to me is
that we have good, reliable, correct information on the website and that
it is readable and understandable, and also that there are people who
will enjoy taking care of this.

- Sylvain, I think in that case, to avoid any collateral damage
(sentences no longer flowing or flowing out of the frame), it may be
advisable to use search and replace in the source code of the pages.

> I was used to fully masculine teams in computer projects so
> having a woman as a team leader is a nice thing.

- Well, thanks for that, and sorry for the lack of diversity in your
projects. I personally expect my gender to not make any difference here,
and to not be a topic for the documentation mailing list.

> I think the star on this page means ‘leader’:

- It means 'Admin', which is a term that in my view describes someone
with a specific set of responsibilities, just like any other team member
has.

I would consider it as a bug.
Then, if it can help other readers to skip this wondering, I'll correct
that, even if I must use Chromium for it. That's true it is more
difficult to distinguish sentences when ? and ! are followed by a single
space… But I rarely seen the double-space rule elsewhere.
Chromium has a recent strange graphic fact: hovering its buttons (in the
toolbars or the ‘find’ interface) draws a square box, then activating it
(clicking) morphes the square into a disc (which looks bigger, being
circumscribed to the previous square). That's a bit disturbing.
A problem is: when I erase one of this spaces, the remaining one is
often a no-break space…
Another typographic habit that bothers me is the use of narrow dashes
‘-’ or double-narrow dashes ‘-’. We're in the epoch of Unicode, we can
put em dashes ‘—’ (or en dashes ‘–’ e.g. for intervals).

To me, ‘Brynn’ looked like ‘Bryce’; but I noticed you were referred to
as a woman. I was used to fully masculine teams in computer projects so
having a woman as a team leader is a nice thing.
I think the star on this page means ‘leader’:

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Hackfest page

2016-06-02 Thread Brynn
Well yeah, there might be an extra space at "project. In this way" 
Maybe she gave up on it?  You know, I might not be the only one who has this 
habit, because a lot of that text with double-spaces, I didn't write it.

I guess you can just fix them when you find them, if they're bothersome. 
Better would be if Django just didn't put them in, because at my age, 
changing how I type isn't likely to happen.

I don't know if "Maren" is boy's or girl's name, since I'm not familiar with 
German, or even European culture.  But the person behind the name is a 
woman.  And me too (although I've been told that in Europe, "brynn" can be 
male or female name - like Chris, Tracy, Jessie, etc.).

All best,
brynn
