Re: [Sugar-devel] SugarLabs.org new website - looking for opinions/ideas!
Very cool! The initial loading screen did seem a tad long but probably not noticeable to most people with a modern laptop like mine. I wonder if it's okay on an XO-1? Is the code available somewhere? I checked sugarlab's github but didn't see it :) On Thu, 2015-02-26 at 05:02 -0800, Tymon Radzik wrote: > Hello, > > last week I was working with Walter Bender on new SugarLabs website, as > current one is too old and doesn't have attractive UI.

It took a long time to load.

Also identify the network speeds of the target market, and how they will perceive load times. The black text on saturated colours was very hard to read, because there was not enough contrast between the text and the background. The animation of the titles seems unnecessary and distracting. Some of the introduction is repeated word for word in the About section. The style of the embedded activities element is inconsistent with the surrounding page style. Given recent discussions, there's probably an overemphasis on history of Sugar, or the history of computing.

Nice, i just completed the Igbo language for Terminal and sugar-toolkit-gtk, and hopefully, i will get the other guys to finish the translation for both igbo and yoruba, Thanks again Martin for you generous support.

[Sugar-devel] SugarLabs.org new website - looking for opinions/ideas!
Hello, last week I was working with Walter Bender on new SugarLabs website, as current one is too old and doesn't have attractive UI. Results of our work is here: http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/ New website is based on Bootstrap, with some plugins and self-written jQuery code. It uses Jekyll, so it doesn't need PHP anymore. We would like to ask you for opinions about this new website, for ideas what we can change/improve/add/fix. All suggestions are very welcome! Best, Tymon ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

[Sugar-devel] Fedora 22 Alpha Test Compose (SoaS 22)
Hi All, The first compose towards SoaS 22 is out [2][3][4]. I've done some very basic testing and there's problems even failing to start with the following Activities: * Terminal * Speak * Pippy * Ruler So if someone could look and see why that would be fab! Also there's a plan to move to Libinput for F-22+. We have an option, at least at the moment to stick with the old input devices but it would be good for someone to review. Basically it doesn't impact standard use but the configuration of input devices so I'm not sure if the Keyboard control panel would need to be updated. Also a reminder we've dropped anything depending on sugar-presence-service (eToys) by default so if people really want it the time is now to get it fixed!
