Hi Christian, :-) On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 03:52, Christian Lohmaier lohmaier+ooofut...@googlemail.com wrote: It's possible to flush them with the left border of the content-area. I.e. shifting it 20 pixels to the left, that in turn would gain 20 pixel for the content. I'm not sure it would look pretty to have no margin at all. I'd suggest a 10px shift - it's still a useful gain. Then the next question would be on whether to have the highlighting button fixed-width, or dynamic-size (i.e. short subpage gets short hightlight, long button gets longer highlight), etc. I'd suggest fixed width for the side margin. on pumbaa, I demoed dynamic-width navigation buttons, see e.g. http://pumbaa.ooodev.org:7780/develop/ (long international button, and short FAQ one) (highlight of tabs is just the green inverted - just ignore it) +1 I looked and I feel this is definitely a good idea.

Re: [libreoffice-website] TODO #1 Fix SilverStripe site footer
Hi Christian, :-) One last fix for the footer: Change Imprint to Legal Info I duplicated the Imprint page to create /legal-info in anticipation of this... HTH. Question: Can the NL sites create a page that gets linked to from the Legal Info link in the footer? Rationale: In one message, I said to Sophie: Given that the site is *hosted* in Germany, it only has to comply with German law. If TDF incorporates in France, then it might be necessary to comply with CNIL requirements [1]. But, AFAIK, not if it incorporates in Germany... But Sophie tells me: I have consulted an IP specialist on behalf TDF and he said : However, the laws vary in other countries, as do the requirements. If you operate a web site that allows transactions in French, for example, even if you are not based in France, and even if it is not for profit, you are supposed to provide information in French as to who owns and runs the site, whom to contact, trademark recognition (where necessary), etc. David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

This will ensure a more accurate translation of English pages throughout the website. Some more items to look at: -- 2 ... If you just want US English ... To avoid confusion over the US English, I would suggest using the same format as it reads in the drop down list to get our users used to reading our language listing format. I would suggest: US English change to English (US) -- in the Notes section, 2) A link is also provided below to download the source code, so that you can compile your own installer for special purposes. The comma should be removed. -- in the Notes section, 3) Additionally, a link is provided to download the software development kit [SDK] so that you can develop your own extensions and special tools (if you're a developer, we invite you to get involved in development of the LibreOffice core code). I would suggest removing the word Additionally, it is really not needed as this is a list; it will also be in the same sentence format as the previous sentence. I would also suggest a period after tools. and if you still need to use the parentheses for the following sentence, capitalise the If and punctuate the sentence. The sentence would then read: 3) A link is provided to download the software development kit [SDK] so that you can develop your own extensions and special tools.

Re: [libreoffice-website] What's the official policy about the LibO website: Drupal or no Drupal?
On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 9:25 PM, Sophie Gautier gautier.sop...@gmail.com wrote: There is already forum that exist and they use phpBB technology for some or may be most of them. Drew has the knowledge here. For the French speaking one, it will be linked on our support page once the final version is announced because the admins and moderators don't want to provide supports on dev versions. I don't know if they have been asked, but I'm not really sure they will accept to migrate on a Drupal tool when they seems very happy with the technology they are currently using (and they have choose). There might be also an issue on migrating the existing database, not sure it's worth the cost. There is a clear benefit of having a forum, as there are clearly a lot of people who prefer not to use mailing lists. I would suggest that deliberately separating a language team from the main community is counter productive to one of the reasons that LibreOffice was formed, to unite the community across all languages. When the Drupal site has been created I am sure the French speaking team can make the assessment, and if decided so, migration from phpBB to Drupal is quite simple.
