[09:07] <jphilips> hi all. i contribute to xubuntu and wanted to give some feedback to the kubuntu web team after visiting the website
[09:10] <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
[09:13] <jphilips> also on the homepage, paragraphs are jammed together as there is no spacing after each paragraph
[09:13] <jphilips> https://imgur.com/wptYUgz.png
[09:21] <jphilips> who in the team is handling social media
[09:44] <RikMills> spacing should be better
[09:45] <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!
[09:46] <RikMills> I bodeged it for now, but the pages need to be redone with the new block style editor
[09:57] <jphilips> yep thats better
[09:58] <jphilips> any input on the clickable links
[10:00] <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
[10:02] <jphilips> seems like alot of space between the 'read more' button and the separator
[10:07] <jphilips> would be good to also have the torrent files shown on the download page, as these have automatic verification
[10:09] <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
[10:12] <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

[10:14] <jphilips> or a life raft - https://cdnimg.webstaurantstore.com/uploads/design/2017/3/support-basic-icon.png
[10:15] <jphilips> presume a help icon should already be there in breeze
[10:17] <jphilips> RikMills: think you need to changed your irc handle on the kubuntu team page, as it shows acheronuk. :D
[10:18] <RikMills> keep going if you have more :)
[10:19] <RikMills> some things we are locked out of changing, but we will do what we can
[10:21] <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
[10:33] <jphilips> as you asked for me :D
[10:33] <jphilips> on the homepage
[10:34] <jphilips> 1. change the download icon from the world to something common with downloading, like a down arrow
[10:35] <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
[10:37] <jphilips> maybe something like this with various contribution categories in place of the coins

[10:38] <jphilips> or better yet something with multiple hands - https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/team-work-and-stakeholders-2/500/12-512.png
[10:39] <jphilips> on new page
[10:40] <jphilips> 1. large amount of empty space in the right column
[10:41] <jphilips> on feature page
[10:41] <jphilips> 1. reduce the amount of space below each heading
[10:44] <jphilips> 2. 'Open and read documents easily' seems strange for okular. does it open anything other than pdfs?
[10:45] <jphilips> on contribute page.
[10:45] <keithzg[m]> jphilips: I have an epub book open in Okular literally as we speak!
[10:46] <jphilips> so pdfs, epubs, and?
[10:47] <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
[10:48] <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 ;)
[10:49] <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
[10:51] <jphilips> getting back to the contribute page
[10:51] <jphilips> 1. layout the items in 2 columns
[10:57] <jphilips> on support page
[10:57] <jphilips> 1. make a table for the epub and pdf documentation
[10:59] <jphilips> 2. add more padding above headings
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <jphilips> social media links should be accessible on all the pages and not just in the community apge
[11:03] <jphilips> might be good to add the list of sponsors on the homepage under technologies used
[11:04] <jphilips> that's it for now i guess
[11:05] <jphilips> has michael prepared a new release video for this release?
[11:22] <RikMills> not yet. if he does so, no point until after beta I think
[11:37] <jphilips> when is beta coming out
[11:38] <jphilips> will there be that much changes after the feature freeze is up and the UI freeze happens in a few days?
[11:40] <RikMills> probably not much visibly, but circumstances can force things. beta is on the 2nd april

[18:51] <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!
[20:28] <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#
[21:56] <RikMills> jphilips: great. thanks
[21:57] <jphilips> added more stuff to it as well
 kool. hopefully we can gradually work through. the attention to detail is appreciated :)
