| AlanBell | So I am coming to a better understanding of the issues with the various web properties now | 09:18 |
|---|---|---|
| AlanBell | The design guidelines for the web seem to be the authoritative document, not the brand guidelines | 09:19 |
| AlanBell | and they make no mention of accessibility whatsoever and have a lot of the main issues baked in | 09:19 |
| AlanBell | like the teeny 12px font size and grey-on-grey text and even the amazingly unreadable http://www.ubuntu.com/server/features/reduce-costs | 09:20 |
| AlanBell | plus the 960.gs stuff that means the websites get 500px margins on my monitor | 09:21 |
| AlanBell | what I didn't know up to yesterday was that website design is nothing to do with the website team | 09:22 |
| AlanBell | which is why I have been filing bugs, fixing them, offering merges and hitting the "patches not welcome" problems | 09:24 |
| AlanBell | I think from now we will do more emails to the list directed at the design team members who set the ball rolling on this to try and get them involved | 09:39 |
| AlanBell | I might try and get a meeting with them in Millbank too | 09:39 |
| AlanBell | I would like to revist the discussion around bug 671122 | 09:41 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 671122 in ubuntu-website "install an accessible wiki theme (affects: 1) (heat: 10)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/671122 | 09:41 |
| AlanBell | if we can get a theme installed with accessible features I can then make it follow the Ubuntu brand guidelines (not the web guidelines) | 09:42 |
| AlanBell | or agreement that if I do that, it will get installed. | 09:42 |

| l3on | Hi all.. does someone of you know where I can find this accessibility icon? → http://pricklytech.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/ubuntu-boot-01.png | 11:57 |
| AlanBell | it is basically the gnome accessibility icon http://projects.gnome.org/accessibility/ | 12:13 |
| l3on | AlanBell: thanks, #u-artwork know the right answer :D | 12:28 |
| l3on | *in #u-art.... | 12:28 |
| AlanBell | does the icon exist somewhere then? | 12:32 |
| AlanBell | (other than on someone's macbook) | 12:32 |
| l3on | AlanBell: <coz_> l3on, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/accessibility.svg | 12:36 |
| AlanBell | I have done something wrong with https://code.launchpad.net/~alanbell/loco-directory/lp650647/+merge/42041 | 13:58 |
| AlanBell | I did a bzr pull on my local loco-directory and it pulled version 333 which is the latest in trunk | 13:58 |
| AlanBell | updated two lines in one file and pushed to a new branch under my name and did a merge request | 13:59 |
| AlanBell | why on earth is the merge request doing 1471 lines of stuff I have never touched? | 13:59 |

| mhall119 | AlanBell: did you change whitespaces or line endings? | 21:45 |
| mhall119 | or update the translation template? | 21:45 |
| AlanBell | nope | 21:45 |
| AlanBell | nope | 21:45 |
| AlanBell | did a bzr pull, confirmed the version it pulled to was 333 then edited the files using nano | 21:46 |
| AlanBell | did a commit, noted that it only updated the file I had updated the pushed to launchpad | 21:46 |
| mhall119 | AlanBell: um, was your branch based on lp:loco-directory? | 21:46 |
| mhall119 | AlanBell: looks like your branch is from lp:ubuntu-website/light-django-theme | 21:47 |
| mhall119 | you can't merge that into lp:loco-directory | 21:47 |
| AlanBell | ahh | 21:48 |
| AlanBell | I will check, that would certainly explain the level of differences | 21:49 |
| AlanBell | I think it automatically selected the thing to merge with though | 21:49 |
| mhall119 | it should auto-select that based on what the proposed branch was based on | 21:51 |
| mhall119 | wait no, it does that based on the proposed branch's name | 21:51 |
| mhall119 | so lp:~alanbell/loco-directory/foo will default to loco-directory | 21:52 |
| mhall119 | while lp:~alanbell/ubuntu-website/foo will default to one of the ubuntu-website ones | 21:52 |
| AlanBell | ah ok | 21:53 |
| AlanBell | dammit, figured out what the issue is now! | 22:00 |
| AlanBell | loco directory includes ubuntu_website under it | 22:01 |
| AlanBell | which is light-django-theme | 22:02 |
| AlanBell | so bug 650647 is technically invalid in loco-directory | 22:03 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 650647 in ubuntu-website (and 1 other project) "Check the footer color (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/650647 | 22:03 |
| cjohnston | AlanBell: the bug was initially against LD, and them upstreamed to ubuntu-website | 22:58 |
| cjohnston | AlanBell: I think this is the one you uploaded earlier.. if so, could you please delete it? https://code.launchpad.net/~alanbell/loco-directory/footerfix | 23:02 |
| AlanBell | done | 23:08 |
| cjohnston | ty sir | 23:10 |
| AlanBell | I am going through the accessibiilty bugs and fixing everything I am going to be allowed to fix, or untagging it as accesibilty if it just a random thing breaking | 23:10 |
| cjohnston | LD or? | 23:10 |
| cjohnston | off to work | 23:12 |
| AlanBell | ubuntu-website, but I will fix any I find anywhere | 23:12 |
| cjohnston | ok | 23:12 |
| cjohnston | cya | 23:12 |
| AlanBell | o/ | 23:12 |
