I will look it up (it is in the marketing list archives)

a word about SEO... we are in the top 5 results on Google since at least
2008 for sugar+labs and nearly anhything on our sites are findable with the
site: syntax. However in-site search was 3 different engines and scopes
last time I looked

Lets call it May 14/15 :) That gives 1 more week for the GSoC 'community
bonding' period.

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2016 lists a project mentored
by Tymon that says,

Create new modern and innovative design template for our websites and apply
it to all our systems. Consider, how to improve our webappearance.
Currently, almost every our website looks different than other and is
created in different technology.

Brief Description

The goal is to create new template to be used to unify view of our websites
(main page, Wiki, Planet, Traslation system, ...) and apply it to our
systems. It must include storing all code in one place (like in
repositories on Github), reducing number of technologies used, improving
SEO, considering other solutions to be used instead of obsolete pages and
general design.

Expected Results

new, better webappearance of Sugar Labs, basing on innovative template. All
code should be placed in one place on Github.

Knowledge Prerequisite

Strong skills in HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and other core webtechnologies;
experience in creating modern website design.


So perhaps this effort would dove-tail with that, with this focused on
cleaning up content ready for that project to start :)

Walter, could you arrange a meeting room space with power sockets for
laptops, good wifi, and a projector?

Where (other than this list) should it be announced?

Just picked that weekend at random. April 30/1 won't work for me, but every
other weekend of May is good for me.

Not a great weekend for me, but if we can get a critical mass that weekend,
we should do it.

Maybe the weekend of April 23/24th would be good? That is the first days of
the GSoC "Community Bonding" period. I could come up to Cambridge MA.

Thanks for the context :)

I've been using Github Pages - https://pages.github.com - for my libre
culture projects.

Would SL consider using Github Pages for hosting the main website you hack
by hand? That would give a 'wiki like' ability for anyone to propose
changes that you would then accept or reject in the typical pull-request
process of git development

Greetings Juan Carlos,

I think it's clear that users of the several Sugar Labs websites would
benefit from more integrated navigation. This problem was identified in
2009 when the current main SL site went up, at that time we tried to deploy
a standardized menu bar across the SL websites but were unable to find
anyone willing to do that work.

We have also wanted a more visual main homepage and some work was done in
the past in that regard, but we were unable to source release-signed images
from the community and there was no budget for a professional photo shoot
(stock photography would not be appropriate).

Sean

Hi marketing team,
 My name is Juan Carlos Murillo and I’m very interested on contributing to 
Sugar Labs during Google Summer of Code 2016. Currently, I’m almost done with 
my proposal, but in one of the last questions I’m being asked to ask two 
members of the Sugar Labs community for his answer to the following question:

What will be the impact of redesigning the Sugar Labs websites (main webpage, 
Wiki, Translation System, Planet, etc.) on the Sugar Labs community?
I would appreciate a lot your response.

Best regards,
Juan Carlos Murillo
