| daker | stats just want to tell you that there is an ubuntu web font used in askubuntu | 11:45 |
|---|---|---|
| AlanBell | where is it hosted? | 11:45 |
| daker | AlanBell: http://sstatic.net/askubuntu/all.css?v=7710c2ff227d | 11:51 |
| daker | Ctrl+F ubuntu | 11:51 |
| AlanBell | interesting stuff | 11:52 |
| AlanBell | just updated bug 655305 with that info | 11:59 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 655305 in ubuntu-font-family "font.ubuntu.com needs the font hosted for web embedding (affects: 2) (heat: 37)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/655305 | 11:59 |
| AlanBell | interesting that they are referencing "Ubuntu Mono","Ubuntu Beta Mono A" | 12:01 |
| daker | ya | 12:06 |
| AlanBell | newz2000: what is the latest on the wiki update? any of my branches going to make it in tomorrow? | 12:13 |
| AlanBell | personally I would be a lot more comfortable updating the theme that is there but not making it default quite yet | 12:14 |
| AlanBell | there are still lots of things that don't look great under the light theme, such as the info pages with the revision history etc | 12:14 |
| AlanBell | ideally there should be a trunk branch for the code in the Ubuntu-website project rather than your +junk area | 12:15 |
| AlanBell | I don't think I can do a merge request to your branch, but I attached my branch to all the bugs I worked on | 12:15 |
| AlanBell | newz2000: what did you think of my suggestion to add an accessible theme to the wiki (non-default, but selectable in preferences) | 13:11 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: Sorry, didn't catch your suggestion so didn't consider it yet, sounds reasonable | 14:34 |
| AlanBell | it was burried in my long rambling email | 14:34 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: will you be around a couple min? I've got to reboot real quick | 14:35 |
| AlanBell | sure | 14:35 |
| AlanBell | http://moinmo.in/ThemeMarket/SimpleMente | 14:35 |
| AlanBell | newz2000: back? | 15:10 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: yes, sorry. Got mobbed when I rebooted | 15:10 |
| AlanBell | hah | 15:10 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: ive me 90 seconds | 15:11 |
| newz2000 | hey AlanBell | 15:13 |
| newz2000 | Yes, today I will try to package all the work done on the wiki together | 15:13 |
| newz2000 | I've not looked over your patches but I did look at your demo site | 15:13 |
| newz2000 | Thanks for the work you did, how happy are you with the rsults? | 15:13 |
| AlanBell | pretty happy | 15:16 |
| AlanBell | the dots at the top I am not happy with right now | 15:17 |
| AlanBell | they were an experiment which I think failed :) | 15:17 |
| newz2000 | Can you give me a link to your demo site? (if it is still up) | 15:17 |
| AlanBell | http://libertus.co.uk:8080 can you see that? | 15:17 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: yep | 15:19 |
| AlanBell | good, my laptop picked up the same IP as before then :) | 15:19 |
| newz2000 | wow, that's amazing | 15:19 |
| AlanBell | I am going to back out the bigger dots at the top, don't like them so much | 15:20 |
| newz2000 | yeah, I think we've deviated a bit radically from the designer's intent with the background image and the dots | 15:20 |
| AlanBell | I was trying to get some of the popular bits from the askubuntu.com site in | 15:20 |
| AlanBell | the theory was to have a run of dark dots in a line across, which continues into light dots in the margins | 15:21 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: are you pushing your changes into lp? | 15:22 |
| * newz2000 has not had a chance to look yet | 15:22 | |
| newz2000 | I've not seen an merge proposal yet though | 15:22 |
| AlanBell | can I do that to your branch? | 15:22 |
| AlanBell | or does it have to be in ubuntu-website project first? | 15:23 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: push them up to LP somewhere and then submit it as a merge proposal (through the web interface) | 15:23 |
| AlanBell | ok, it is on LP, I will just fix the nasty dots and do the merge proposal | 15:23 |
| newz2000 | thanks a bunch for your help Alan, I'll be merging this stuff in today | 15:23 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: oh, don't be disapointed, but I'll probably reject your MP and cherry pick some parts out of it. | 15:25 |
| newz2000 | I will use your work but probably not the whole patch | 15:25 |
| newz2000 | I don't want you to think I'm ungrateful, I'm extraordinarily grateful | 15:25 |
| AlanBell | thats fine | 15:26 |
| AlanBell | have a look now | 15:26 |
| newz2000 | great | 15:26 |
| AlanBell | lp:~alanbell/ubuntu-website/light-moin-theme is where it is at | 15:28 |
| AlanBell | where was your branch? | 15:29 |
| AlanBell | This branch is not mergeable into lp:~newz/+junk/light-wiki. | 15:32 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: ok, I'll just poke at that | 15:34 |
| AlanBell | http://moinmo.in/ThemeMarket/SimpleMente is the accessible theme, quite plain but screenreader friendly | 15:36 |
| AlanBell | 13:10 < akgraner> I like the headers in Purple oops I mean aubergine and the links in orange though | 15:37 |
| AlanBell | 13:10 < akgraner> Love it! Love it! Love it!! - did I mention I love that part | 15:37 |
| newz2000 | AlanBell: I'll look at it | 15:46 |
| newz2000 | She'll be disapointed about the aubergine | 15:47 |
| newz2000 | It's not part of the Ubuntu web branding | 15:47 |
| * newz2000 tries to take the guidelines very seriously | 15:47 | |
| AlanBell | yeah, read all them :) | 15:51 |
| newz2000 | There's a funny story behind this | 15:51 |
| newz2000 | When the brand guidelines came out, they said that "orange = Ubuntu, aubergine = Canonical" | 15:51 |
| newz2000 | And then Lucid shipped with a purple desktop wallpaper. :-) | 15:51 |
| newz2000 | Got everyone really confused. | 15:51 |
| AlanBell | actually no, they said aubergine=commercial | 15:51 |
| newz2000 | ah, right | 15:52 |
| AlanBell | then they split "enterprise" and "developer" with different dot sizes and pitches | 15:52 |
| newz2000 | yeah, clever. | 15:52 |
| AlanBell | and there are 5 different aubergines | 15:52 |
| AlanBell | in theory in at least one of the design documents (or it might have been a draft I was reviewing) Canonical should be aubergine with orange as an accent colour and Ubuntu should be orange with Aubergine as an accent colour | 15:53 |
| AlanBell | there were pie charts for the quantities to use | 15:54 |
| AlanBell | the voice slider, thats the one | 15:56 |
| newz2000 | ok, you may have gotten into them more than I have. :-) | 15:56 |
| AlanBell | yeah, but I tend to take the captain Jack Sparrow approach to such things | 15:57 |
| AlanBell | more of a guideline than an actual law :) | 15:57 |
| AlanBell | http://design.canonical.com/brand/5.%20Ubuntu%20colour%20palettes%20and%20colour%20landscape.pdf found the pie charts | 15:59 |
| newz2000 | oh yeah, forgot about those | 16:00 |
| AlanBell | some things like cool grey as a background are nice in theory, but then I asked some low vision users in #ubuntu-accessibility to have a look at it, then I made the text darker and the background lighter until they said it stopped looking fuzzy and hard to read | 16:01 |
| newz2000 | yeah, I've thought that about the server pages especially | 16:02 |
| AlanBell | -accessibility is a great channel to idle in, you can always post a link to a development site and ask for feedback on it either in terms of low vision or screen reader use | 16:03 |
| newz2000 | good tip | 16:08 |
| AlanBell | newz2000: there are a whole heap of 404 errors for missing images in /assets/ on my box, I kind of assumed that was because I set it up wrong | 16:21 |
| newz2000 | Hm... | 16:21 |
| newz2000 | You probably don't have all the files actually | 16:21 |
| AlanBell | http://paste.ubuntu.com/511730/ | 16:21 |
| AlanBell | yeah, I am not too bothered about them, but they probably should be fixed one way or another for deployment | 16:22 |
| AlanBell | and web hosting of the font is comming very soon according to sabdfl this morning Bug #655305 | 16:24 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 655305 in ubuntu-font-family "font.ubuntu.com needs the font hosted for web embedding (affects: 2) (heat: 37)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/655305 | 16:24 |
