world of gnome feedback
Hi Alex, You've been doing a tremendous job with WoG! We were recently talking about WoG and one thing that we felt that would improve the site tremendously is having some editors to help edit your articles. It might slow down your publishing a bit, but would you mind if some of us help edit your articles? Can some of us help you out here? It'll help improve the site I think. We have some feedback on the WoG website as well that perhaps we could help make the site look a little better visually. I can probably help with editing, and I think some the others in marketing can help as well. Andreas - did you say you could help out with any changes to the site visually? To re-iterate, it's your site and we're happy you're doing all this. You are free of course to turn down our help, we just want to help out and make the site be as successful as possible as it is in our interest. sri -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

We were recently talking about WoG and one thing that we felt that would improve the site tremendously is having some editors to help edit your articles. It might slow down your publishing a bit, but would you mind if some of us help edit your articles? 90% of the English grammar error comes because I am always in rush :( I certainly can give you WP accounts to edit posts before (which I think it won't work) or after (better choice) we publish them. But the best case scenario is if you (or anyone else) actually could post. Because we run ads and it wouldn't feel very nice if someone was writing to us and we are getting profits (which is another story - I was actually losing money :) - ),we are going to remove them very soon. Can some of us help you out here? It'll help improve the site I think. We have some feedback on the WoG website as well that perhaps we could help make the site look a little better visually. I've spend more than 30h trying to make Disqus work with Ajax and it was impossible at least since the last time I tried (~3months ago). There were some known bugs and maybe Disqus team have solved them. If I can make that work, I could make a really nice page. When I get some time I will try to improve some things, like timeline and categories. If you are interested to help in graphics, it would be great as I can't do that :( I can probably help with editing, and I think some the others in marketing can help as well.

Re: world of gnome..
Maybe you could have an article category What's on the whiteboards today?, with a clear icon, so readers knows the information is a snapshot of a work in progress. And maybe, the direction of the article could be inviting readers to discuss pros and cons. (rather than promising a future plan) Just an idea.

Consider it done, if other member also don't mind to keep printing your very early work (which is available for everybody anyway, just hard to be found). Personally I like to watch your futuristic designs even if I am not into Gnome programming. It gives the perspective of the project, so I basically publish what I want to see from other pages. And maybe, the direction of the article could be inviting readers to discuss pros and cons. (rather than promising a future plan) I see your point. I don't mean to confuse people that a design will arrive in Gnome for sure, or the next day, or as it is. Feedback is related to popularity, I hope we get more readers and have more feedback, however based on comments many people like your work and switching or willing to switch back to Gnome (after the Ubuntu Unity thing).

Sometimes, it goes a little overboard though, when early research screenshots get blown out as the latest design, A solution at the source would be to not make early research look like its done. This is a recurring situation in GUI design, when people present early research with all the little shadows, gradients and glares. People understand it is done. So such articles and interpretations are logical. A more concerning aspect in making research look like its done, is that it prevents people to focus on what really matters. It's like showing a house with all the wallpapers, grandmother's portrait and lights on, when the discussion is about the internal structure of the building. Then the discussions focus on the color of the wallpaper rather than on the size of the beams. The temptation to polish early sketches, and make them look like its done, is understandable, it certainly gives a strong feeling of achievement. Though it shifts the focus and hinder more in depth reviews. There is an excellent article on the subject from Creating Passionate Users, that can be summarised as: - Don't make the Demo look Done - How 'done' something looks should match how 'done' something is. - The better it looks, the more narrow the feedback http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/12/dont_make_the_d.html within hours of being added to the wiki [1].

He recommended the Debunking Myths Handbook: http://sks.to/debunk Debunking myths is problematic. Unless great care is taken, any effort to debunk misinformation can inadvertently reinforce the very myths one seeks to correct. To avoid these “backfire effects”, an effective debunking requires three major elements. First, the refutation must focus on core facts rather than the myth to avoid the misinformation becoming more familiar. Second, any mention of a myth should be preceded by explicit warnings to notify the reader that the upcoming information is false. Finally, the refutation should include an alternative explanation that accounts for important qualities in the original misinformation.

Re: GNOME Journal and World of GNOME Re: About worldofgnome org
Hello Sri, The principle goal of GJ is to promote GNOME through articles. You had mentioned interviews and the like and that's where I felt the overlap was. How many people are in your tam to do this? I'm just curious? Would they be available to work on GNOME things for marketing/ GNOME Journal as well? Right now we are 3. Seems few, but we are ok to produce the kind of material we want. For example, 1 of us writes on osarena.net. He manages 20 interviews a month. On contrary with GJ we want much more simpler things, we target to easiness of read. We don't want so much technical. And we go beyond Gnome also. We consider GNOME and Linux one thing. We have a section called Community. We will try somehow to bring together some GNOME sources. Would be glad if we could help you, but we haven't the knowledge to write so deep articles as GJ has. And personally I don't want to committed as I have huge amount of work. Basically we need you to help us :) On the end of the day we have to see how the people will respond, we haven't open yet, if we get like 500 hits a day, there is no meaning to continue :) Regards - alex On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 6:33 AM, Sriram Ramkrishna s...@ramkrishna.mewrote: On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 7:24 PM, alex diavatis alexis.diava...@gmail.comwrote: Hello all, I uploaded an empty early draft (many things have changed, don't freak out!) to show you what WoGue is about.

But I afraid we have to change this, because we have issues with the work of other people that we use, like republishing things, or using Faenza Icons. *About WoGue Goals* Our primary goal is to bring Design Ideas for GNOME from Mailing Lists and Blogs to one place, and give people that aren't on Gnome, Linux, etc, the opportunity to express their opinion, and to get a better product by getting new ideas based on their wishes. Gnome is a community project after all. Secondary goal is to convince people that Gnome is the best thing out there (I personally think so). Last Goal is to make an enjoyable page for people to read. *About WoGue Content* It would be great if we could run a site only with the primary goal. Unfortunately I doubt if we can collect so many stuff, so we need to enrich the page a bit. So we added the *Gnome Stories* area. People can say what they like in Gnome (assuming that Gnome is OS), when they tried it first time, and things like that... We also have *Theming Personalization* We picked some of the best themes on our opinion and we represent them. Same thing with Extensions. *Interviews* One of our major parts is to having interviews from Gnome Design Team (and other people of course), about why they do that, what they are going to do next, no technical analysis, simple things, that are enjoyable to read and helpfull to learn and understand. *Games* Leaving out Web, 90% of software is Games. Games is an important factor for an OS to be succeed. People are looking for games and they may choose to use Gnome if they are happy with games on it. *Commercial Software* Well, I think we have to refer on this also. We use closed drivers, closed hardware, Flash etc. We are going to show Games even if are commercials. However we are not 100% sure about it. Anyway I don't want to spend your time with a huge text, I just wanted to explain what WoGue is about. I hope you will not have any issues with our work, and we would really appreciateif you to CC us your Design Ideas and News from Mailing Lists and your Blogs so we can publish them on our page. we can't follow all of them :( We don't ask your TM Logo, just a logo that is similar with it :) a Besides, WoGue is not going to represent GNOME, WoGue is trying to advertise GNOME.

To be more specific I have some sections News Gnome news from gnome.org, Blogs of Gnome Developers, Phoronix Etc Interviews Interviews from Gnome Developers, Distro Developers (about Gnome) etc Personalize it How to tweak Gnome, with Extensions, Themes, Icons, etc. Also recommend some of them. How to use it Shortcuts and hidden tips, also propose workflow ways to use workspaces etc... Your ideas This is the most important part, it is where users will speak their ideas and features they want to see on Gnome, alongside with a Mockup or demonstrations. There are very good ideas on mailing lists. Gnome Stories People can sent emails about stories they have related to Gnome, they can be funny or whatever.. We choose some of them and we publish them.. Blogs With personal opinions Some more stuff follows, but this is the main idea Regards, Alexis Diavatis* My query is if I can use the brand name GNOME on the page. Page name will be WoG most probably or can be same as domain name.. - alex -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
