RE: [leaf-devel] New Website
[snip] Tom, Thanks for the feedback. :-) The readability of the nav bar may be related to the small caps, and fonts you have installed. Do you have the Bitstream Vera fonts installed? I agree with KP that the Releases/Branches menu should return. I'll give this serious consideration. If it returns, the nav bar won't. I've been trying to eliminate redundant information. Mike, I've only seen the NavBar 'after' reading KP's email saying it is not very visible. Everyone, Does anyone think the nav bar is usable? Is it worth working on further, or should I scrap it? Is it good enough to last a few months waiting for phpWebSite 0.9.4 to be released? IMHO, it can be scraped.

Hi Mike, I use Gentoo Linux and Mozilla 1.4 (Gecko/20040206) and It looks fine (in konqueror 3.2.1 too).

I gather the improvements weren't enough to make the nav bar stand out for you. Given that it is both dark and tiny, it does not stand out at all. Under Firefox on my 19 monitor, Bering uClibc is only about 2/3 wide and is almost unreadable. Lince *is* unreadable. Tom, Thanks for the feedback. :-) The readability of the nav bar may be related to the small caps, and fonts you have installed. Do you have the Bitstream Vera fonts installed? The larger size is readable for me (Mozilla 1.6 on 'doze), but the darker colors make the nav-bar seem 'disconnected' from the actual website, especially on the pages that still have the smaller text.

Note: this theme is only temporary. We'll have a theme contest as soon as phpWebSite 0.9.4 is released. IMHO: If you want a nav-bar, it should pretty much duplicate the content on the main-menu (or perhaps a subset of main-menu entries), and match the style of the rest of the site (ie: currently black text on blue). I also think the releases/branches page (and main-menu item) should return. There's too much difference between branches to cover with a simple nav bar. For quick access, I think listing a few of the current popular distributions on the main page is fine (ie: perhaps a bering, bering-uClibc, and 'others' link, with others taking you to the releases page). -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562alloc_id=6184op=click ___ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel

Charles, Thanks for the feedback. :-) I'll work on the navbar readability. However, I think people are misunderstanding the purpose of the navbar. In essence we now have seven websites. They share common code and a database, but everything else is separate. I created the navbar to allow moving from one website to another and back again. This is one of the reasons I used different colors for the navbar. The navbar is separate from the branch content. Everyone, If we use the Hub main menu Releases/Branches page exclusively, how will we navigate to one of the other branch sites within our website? Menus are unique to each branch (content is stored in the database using a table prefix). I also think the releases/branches page (and main-menu item) should return. There's too much difference between branches to cover with a simple nav bar. For quick access, I think listing a few of the current popular distributions on the main page is fine (ie: perhaps a bering, bering-uClibc, and 'others' link, with others taking you to the releases page). Charles, I'll work on these two suggestions. I guess the information wasn't as redundant as I first though. -- Mike Noyes mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net Projects: ffl, leaf, phpwebsite, phpwebsite-comm, sitedocs --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562alloc_id=6184op=click ___ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel

Hi Mike, Mike Noyes wrote: I'll work on these two suggestions. I guess the information wasn't as redundant as I first though. Just to throw in my two cents - I agree that it was/is redundant. But I also feel that it is not obvious to the casual observer how to get to a specific branch without that redundancy. If we can make it easier for users to find the information they're looking for, I'd say it's very well worth the redundancy. It's obviously not a big deal for somebody who knows the page, but I'd say we should make it as easy as possible for new users to find the relevant information (well, either that, or be prepared to answer tons of help, I can't find the packages page anymore questions).
