Re: [ubuntu-art] screenshots.ubuntu.com
Hi, Thanks for all you input. It was very helpful. I will try and get them incorporated into the rethemed site. At the moment we are doing a just a retheming of the site to bring it inline with the other *.ubuntu.com sites. This is so that when vistors come to the site they instantly know that it is an official Ubuntu site. With regards to the suggestions regarding the information architecture and interaction of the site, you have given some really great suggestions. I probably would not get time to implement them on this current retheming, but would love to get them in on a v2.0 of the site. Thanks, Richard Lee -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hi ubuntu art mailing list, I was half-way through retheming the screenshots.ubuntu.com when I saw the thread in this mailing list about it. I can get the basic elements which have been prescribed in the Guidelines for the Web found here http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/guides-for-websites/ . What may need a bit more thought are the elements specific to this site, e.g. the browse by debtags functionality or the screenshots gallery. It would be great to know what you guys think. Here is a screenshot of what I have done so far: http://imgur.com/ZfQWU.png The launchpad project and code can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-screenshots Regards, Richard Lee -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The empty top left is reserved for Latest_Uploads like active on http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/ ? I doubt everyone knows what a debtag is. Doesn't seem important, just Tag or Category should do. It bothers me that you can't middle-click a tag to open it in a new tab. The list would be easier to scan if left aligned. The 2nd level shouldn't have a different layout. Make it vertical, too. It would be nice if changing to an entirely different page after clicking a 2nd level tag could be avoided. It could be more like Apple Finder's column view, even if that might make the space for thumbnails a bit narrow. http://www.bittbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/view_fonts_in_finder_4.jpg -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] screenshots.ubuntu.com
How about one of these for the header? http://www.foopics.com/showfull/f2a80d3cd8f3a1a388a2b0a53aaa96ac It looks clean and balanced, but seems confusing for me. It makes me think it's a website for screenshots of Ubuntu itself, not a repository of previews for its applications. I'd rather use something like application screenshots in Ubuntu font or something like that for the header. The database is shared with Debian where possible, for example, I've uploaded a new transmission-gtk screenshot today via screenshots.ubuntu.comand it's already available http://screenshots.debian.net/image/5912_large.png at screenshots.debian.net, so IMO we should indicate that it's a cooperative sprint.

Ah, that wasn't clear to me. A mixed visual identity would be a nice gesture and surely interesting to create, but is likely to confuse users who may be unaware of the link between Debian and Ubuntu (even unaware of the existence of Debian). -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hi all, 1) At UDS we talked about me putting out 'briefs' in a place where everyone could pick them up. 2) I have put a brief up here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/buttons/+bug/673488 Questions: - does this work for everyone? - should I assign them to a different project so that people can access them more readily? This approach fits into my normal workflow so, from a purely selfish point of view I would like to pursue this approach. For now, I suggest posting the briefs to this artlist and then people can elect to subscribe. Thoughts?

You could also assign the task to the artwork team on lp : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art Which will automatically send the mail to the team. [one less extra task ;) ] When someone from the team decides to take on the work, they can then re-assign the task to themselves (from the team) and work on the bug.

I find it awkward using Launchpad bug tracking in this manner but with a blend of wiki maybe this will work. :-) IMO it needs a blueprint which can be linked to the specification. I am willing to draft a specification with milestones for your consideration. I don't know what the requirements are but we can discuss that in a future dialog. I will also include assumptions as discussion points. I can have v1 of the spec ready by 11/15 or sooner for your consideration. Is this agreeable?
