Sysipossibly16:58
pleia2hehe17:02
pleia2ok, sprint time!17:03
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website/Sprint17:03
pleia2beardygnome worked on this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website/Drafts17:04
pleia2it's ideas for the about page, would be nice to get it into a more refined form within the next week17:05
knomei can look at that shortly17:06
pleia2knome: when you're ready, I just want to quickly go through the items under "To do" before content review17:07
knomei partly need to focus on something else, but i'm ready :)17:08
pleia2pl17:09
pleia2ok17:09
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website17:09
pleia2so... under "Footer" "Replace "Xubuntu links" with "Useful pages""17:10
pleia2do you mean wording or actually adding links that are useful? :)17:10
knomeheheh, yeah17:10
knomelinks that are useful17:10
knomethe wiki links etc can be under the developer tools page17:11
* pleia2 nods17:11
pleia2I kind of like having the mailing list links in the footer17:12
knomehmm17:13
knomehttp://wp.xubuntu.org/developertools/17:13
knomei'm really going to build a easy-to-use page of that17:13
knomewe could probably link to xubuntu-users in the footer17:13
knomewith "Mailing list for support" or so17:13
pleia2what other links are useful?17:14
knomelink to developer tools17:14
knomelink to sitemap17:15
pleia2faq?17:15
knomemmh, that too17:15
GridCube:)17:16
GridCubesup17:16
madnickhi, i will join in a second17:16
pleia2ok, so let's go with these17:16
pleia2Support Mailing List, Developer Tools, FAQ, Site Map17:17
knomeyeah17:17
knomesounds good17:17
pleia2next on our To do list: "Fix articles archive"17:17
pleia2we want to make the articles stubs instead of full, is that a trivial enough theme thing?17:18
knomethat's min!17:18
knome*mine17:18
knomeyeah, that's trivial17:18
knomei need to create archive.php17:18
pleia2ok cool, that's sorted17:18
* pleia2 nods17:18
pleia2Next... "Think of a good way to present the different mirrors"17:18
knomemmh17:18
pleia2GridCube: hi! :)17:18
knomei'd really want the markup to be clean17:18
pleia2how do we feel about how the Natty ones are displayed currently? unclean?17:19
pleia2(btw, I will fix to reflect Oneiric today)17:19
knomethey are too scattered imo17:19
pleia2any thoughts?17:22
pleia2we should put it in a TABLE!17:22
knomemaybe.17:22
pleia2hah17:22
knomewith full urls17:22
pleia2visible to visitor urls?17:22
knometwo columns, country and url17:22
knomeyeah.17:22
knomewhy not?17:22
pleia2that seems reasonable17:23
knomethat would justify using a table17:23
knome;]17:23
pleia2hehe17:23
knomeand the markup would be rather clean17:23
pleia2works for me17:23
knomeand easy to remove/add items17:23
pleia2yeah17:23
pleia2ok, I can write that in a bit, then you can clean it up later :)17:23
knomesure17:23
knomesounds good17:23
pleia2great, that's the whole To do list, now we're on the page content review :)17:24
knomehehe17:24
pleia2as for home/ you sent a mail to the list with a mockup...17:24
pleia2http://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/web_sprint/website-changes-20111130.png17:24
knomeyeah17:24
pleia2how well does that shrink on smaller screens? (think netbooks, phones)17:25
knomethe top part: as badly as before17:25
knomebottom part: that will shrink better, as each column can be on-top-of-each-other17:25
knomephones *should* use the mobile/handheld stylesheet, which ain't done yet though17:26
pleia2hm, how can you read it if they are on top of each other/17:26
pleia2?17:26
knomelol17:26
knomenot in the 3d sense17:26
pleia2I guess I'm just unconvinced about the 3 columns :)17:26
knomeLatest news17:27
knomeblbalbalblablaala17:27
knomeSecond column17:27
knomeblablablalbabla17:27
knomeImportant links17:27
knomelbalbalbalbablabl17:27
pleia2oh I see17:27
knome^ like that17:27
knomeon-top-of-each-other17:27
knome;)17:27
pleia2that's great then17:27
pleia2oh! I forgot one part about the footer - can we get rid of all the Meta stuff?17:27
knomesure.17:27
pleia2maybe put Entries RSS somewhere useful, but everything else is bad17:28
knomewell17:28
knomethat way we could have both xubuntu links and useful links17:28
knomenot sure how much sense that makes17:28
pleia2I think just useful links is good17:28
knomemaybe do "useful links" and "mailing lists"17:28
pleia2I say just delete meta and have a less crowded footer17:28
knomemmh17:28
pleia2the lox slid off my bagel17:29
pleia2messy breakfast17:29
knomelox?17:29
pleia2smoked salmon17:29
knomehmm17:30
knomeright17:30
pleia2we can think about this footer thing later17:30
pleia2I'm happy with the new design :)17:30
knomelax (in swedish) == salmon (in finnish; lohi)17:30
pleia2ah :)17:31
pleia2oh, what will actually be in the Second column on the front page?17:32
knomeno idea. but i was thinking of putting pages not otherwise linked17:33
knomemaybe something like the useful links.17:33
knomebut more links17:33
pleia2ok17:34
pleia2the about page will have to be discussed later, since it's complicated and we need to review it further17:34
knomemmh17:35
pleia2http://wp.xubuntu.org/tour/17:35
pleia2seem ok still?17:35
knomepretty good17:35
pleia2http://wp.xubuntu.org/help/17:35
knomei might need to remove the bottom border on hover for images within a link17:35
knomeor actually17:36
baizonnice look :)17:36
knomewe need to remove the links from the images17:36
pleia2ah, those end up as clickable links17:36
pleia2yeah17:36
baizonwell done17:36
knomeyeah, you need to specify "no link" when adding to post17:36
pleia2thanks baizon 17:36
pleia2ok, let me log in here and see...17:36
knomesorry for still partly having to focus on something else :/17:37
madnickI wonder something17:37
madnickHow come this does this:17:37
madnickhttp://wp.xubuntu.org/fgdfdfsdfsdfsdf17:37
pleia2ok, removed links17:37
knomemadnick, not-found links apparently show the archive.17:38
madnickyup17:38
madnickbut thats not optimal :P17:38
knomeo'rly17:38
knome:P17:38
pleia2ok, fixed clickable images on /help too17:40
pleia2I think /help is ok, I added the link to the FAQ last sprint time17:41
knomemm-hmm17:41
pleia2http://wp.xubuntu.org/press/17:41
ochosisorry i can't join your website-sprint today/now17:41
pleia2I think we just need to add links for 11.10, I'll grep through my logs, I post reviews in here pretty often17:41
ochosihave a nice evening though!17:42
ochosi->17:42
pleia2thanks anyway ochosi, have a good one :)17:42
pleia2hm, actually, this page could use some love17:42
knomeall you need is love17:42
knomepappadapaapaa17:43
pleia2:)17:43
pleia2I'll update it in the format it's in and we can discuss this one further later17:43
knomemm17:43
pleia2http://wp.xubuntu.org/contribute/17:45
knomehmm.17:45
knomei think we should rethink the images at the top17:46
pleia2yeah17:46
knomeand probably the teams too17:46
* pleia2 nods17:46
pleia2our wiki pretty well outlines the teams in the menu17:46
pleia2we are sort of duplicating wiki content on the site, not quite sure how to reconcile this yet17:47
knomemmh17:48
knomemaybe try to cut down the website content17:48
pleia2wiki should probably be more ideas driven and detailed, and we link to wiki from the website17:48
pleia2yeah, so website has a quick overview to get people interested, they go to wiki for more17:48
knomeyep17:49
knomewiki is also more easily editable17:49
knomeat least for the developer community as whole17:49
* pleia2 nods17:49
pleia2ok, so in the next week I'll go through the contribute/* pages and make some drafts, and suggestions as to what should move to the wiki (it looks like there is some valuable stuff on the site which isn't on the wiki)17:50
knomeyeah17:50
knomesounds good :)17:50
pleia2last one! http://wp.xubuntu.org/developertools/17:50
pleia2add mailing list to this, any other thoughts?17:51
knomewell that definitely needs some love17:51
knomemaybe send a mail to mailing list to get ideas17:51
knomewhat is it what people need the most17:51
knomewhat would they like to see there17:51
pleia2ok17:51
GridCubei guess17:52
pleia2the one last thing I had is that we still have empty "Quick Links" on the right hand side of each page17:52
GridCubethat there should be links to current xubuntu projects17:52
GridCubein the developer tols17:52
knomepleia2, yeah. i'm going to add the important links as well as the useful links there17:52
GridCubelike to shimmer and stuff like that17:52
knomepleia2, do you think we want the newest articles there too?17:53
pleia2GridCube: ah! upstream17:53
pleia2knome: yeah, maybe17:53
GridCubesomething like; "Current Xubuntu Projects" > shimmer, madnick's lightdm API, some other thing17:54
pleia2xfce :)17:54
GridCube:P xfce17:54
pleia2maybe "Related Projects"17:54
knomeyeah17:54
knomethat's where shimmer belongs too17:55
knomeas it's not a xubuntu project17:55
GridCubeokay :)17:55
pleia2ok, added shimmer and xfce17:57
pleia2under a related projects heading17:57
pleia2hey vinnl :)17:57
vinnlHey :)17:58
pleia2I'm about ready to wrap up, anyone have further thoughts?17:58
pleia2I'll email the list with our new To Do list :)17:58
knomenot at this time17:59
knomethanks for going through it17:59
pleia2thanks knome, madnick and GridCube :)17:59
madnick:)18:00
GridCube:)18:00
knomei don't understand why imagemagick montage creates bigger images than specified in -geometry18:05
knomeor i do, because that's the *tile* size, but the tile is bigger than that18:06
