| jphilips | hi all. i contribute to xubuntu and wanted to give some feedback to the kubuntu web team after visiting the website | 09:07 |
|---|---|---|
| jphilips | on the homepage, there are 4 clickable images for download, tour, help & support, and contribute, but the text under the images arent clickable, even though they have a mouseover effect | 09:10 |
| jphilips | also on the homepage, paragraphs are jammed together as there is no spacing after each paragraph | 09:13 |

| jphilips | who in the team is handling social media | 09:21 |
| RikMills | spacing should be better | 09:44 |
| RikMills | a lot of the pages were created with an old wordpress version, and when edited with new wordpress, it helpfully decides to remove some formatting it thinks is no longer needed! | 09:45 |
| RikMills | I bodeged it for now, but the pages need to be redone with the new block style editor | 09:46 |
| jphilips | yep thats better | 09:57 |
| jphilips | any input on the clickable links | 09:58 |
| jphilips | on the news page, would be good the change the grey 1px separator to potentially blue, so its more visible | 10:00 |
| jphilips | there seems to be something missing on the date lines 'On February 19, 2020, , In News, With No Comments' | 10:00 |
| jphilips | you have a comma after the year and then empty space and then another comma | 10:00 |
| jphilips | seems like alot of space between the 'read more' button and the separator | 10:02 |
| jphilips | would be good to also have the torrent files shown on the download page, as these have automatic verification | 10:07 |
| jphilips | on the feature tour page, there are icons at the top, which seem to be clickable, but dont jump to the section on the page about the app | 10:09 |
| jphilips | on the contribute page, maybe change the icon for testing to something like a test paper with checkmarks on it and for documentation have an icon with a question mark | 10:12 |

| jphilips | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Torchlight_help_icon.svg/768px-Torchlight_help_icon.svg.png | 10:13 |
| jphilips | or a life raft - https://cdnimg.webstaurantstore.com/uploads/design/2017/3/support-basic-icon.png | 10:14 |
| jphilips | presume a help icon should already be there in breeze | 10:15 |
| jphilips | RikMills: think you need to changed your irc handle on the kubuntu team page, as it shows acheronuk. :D | 10:17 |
| RikMills | keep going if you have more :) | 10:18 |
| RikMills | some things we are locked out of changing, but we will do what we can | 10:19 |
| keithzg[m] | Funny story, I actually used the Breeze help icon in the (much micromanaged, but that's another story) website redesign I did for my work ;) It's a life preserver: http://gmcl.com/images/breeze/icons/apps/48/system-help.svg | 10:21 |
| jphilips | as you asked for me :D | 10:33 |
| jphilips | on the homepage | 10:33 |
| jphilips | 1. change the download icon from the world to something common with downloading, like a down arrow | 10:34 |
| jphilips | 2. change the help icon to the same used on the contribute page | 10:35 |
| jphilips | 3. change contribute icon to something with a hand in it, rather than code brackets which only symbolize coding contributions | 10:35 |
| jphilips | maybe something like this with various contribution categories in place of the coins | 10:37 |

| jphilips | or better yet something with multiple hands - https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/team-work-and-stakeholders-2/500/12-512.png | 10:38 |
| jphilips | on new page | 10:39 |
| jphilips | 1. large amount of empty space in the right column | 10:40 |
| jphilips | on feature page | 10:41 |
| jphilips | 1. reduce the amount of space below each heading | 10:41 |
| jphilips | 2. 'Open and read documents easily' seems strange for okular. does it open anything other than pdfs? | 10:44 |
| jphilips | on contribute page. | 10:45 |
| keithzg[m] | jphilips: I have an epub book open in Okular literally as we speak! | 10:45 |
| jphilips | so pdfs, epubs, and? | 10:46 |
| keithzg[m] | CBZ files too, I know that one. | 10:47 |
| jphilips | does it open .docx or .odt files | 10:47 |
| jphilips | cbz is a zip with jpgs in it :D | 10:47 |
| keithzg[m] | I know that! But it's a nicer experience to open those in Okular than in a zip file GUI ;) | 10:48 |
| jphilips | of course, just wondering what other types of documents it handles | 10:48 |
| keithzg[m] | Okular opens .odt files, no idea about .docx files since I avoid those like the plague ;) | 10:48 |
| jphilips | okay then the heading seems fine. when i first read it, i was quite sure i was going to see libreoffice below it | 10:49 |
| keithzg[m] | https://okular.kde.org/formats.php | 10:49 |
| jphilips | getting back to the contribute page | 10:51 |
| jphilips | 1. layout the items in 2 columns | 10:51 |
| jphilips | on support page | 10:57 |
| jphilips | 1. make a table for the epub and pdf documentation | 10:57 |
| jphilips | 2. add more padding above headings | 10:59 |
| jphilips | homepage shows 5 logos under 'technologies used', but about page shows only 3 | 11:01 |
| jphilips | might be good to have an entire donate page | 11:01 |
| jphilips | social media links should be accessible on all the pages and not just in the community apge | 11:02 |
| jphilips | might be good to add the list of sponsors on the homepage under technologies used | 11:03 |
| jphilips | that's it for now i guess | 11:04 |
| jphilips | has michael prepared a new release video for this release? | 11:05 |
| RikMills | not yet. if he does so, no point until after beta I think | 11:22 |
| jphilips | when is beta coming out | 11:37 |
| jphilips | will there be that much changes after the feature freeze is up and the UI freeze happens in a few days? | 11:38 |
| RikMills | probably not much visibly, but circumstances can force things. beta is on the 2nd april | 11:40 |

| IrcsomeBot | * ahoneybun needs coffee. | 13:52 |
| keithzg[m] | @RikMills: Yeah I've been running KDE on my Gemini, and even with Debian oldstable and having to customize some things afterwards it was quite great; should get it installed on my Cosmo too now but there's never enough time in the day! | 18:51 |
| jphilips | RikMills: i've put all the suggestions in this google doc for you to easily go through - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XWmKwa4k-04MsJaDQWM6lwMGlY5b7W9__lK7InwnX28/edit# | 20:28 |
| RikMills | jphilips: great. thanks | 21:56 |
| jphilips | added more stuff to it as well | 21:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> kool. hopefully we can gradually work through. the attention to detail is appreciated :) | 22:03 |
