Minor nitpicking: the home page example has two different language selectors, upper right and lower left. One should be enough, and lower left is mediawiki standard, so probably the menu thingie is not necessary.
sorry, I didn't explained why:
We are not sure, whether the drop down list can be implemented into the wiki (I will have to research this), so I suggested to include the "classical" language selector as well. However, given the growing number of wikis, we would prefer the drop-down list.
Ok.
The home page example does not offer the same amount of space for information blocks as the current portal style does. [...] Your example goes back to two menu and one content columns, which was what we started with back when opensuse.org launched, and which didn't really work in practice IIRC.
jdd already mentioned it - there are two proposals: one with a three column layout (draft_home.png) and one with a two column layout (draft_content.png).
draft_content.png is fine. I am worried about the three-column layout for the wiki start page. The current layout is much more flexible and offers more space for content in the right-most column. Your draft reminds me of the original wiki design when opensuse.org was launched. It also had a menu-like third (right-most) column which looked great on the mockups and later proved to bee too unflexible for the content that we want to show on the first screen of the first page.
apart from that the style looks not bad, though I have to admit I like the current boxy design of the wiki start page too. Have you tried with different font sizes, and could you maybe post a screen shot with a bigger font?
Currently there is no HTML version available, and creating a png with bigger fonts will prove nothing ;-)).
Well, it would give visual-imagination challenged people like me an idea how the draft would look like with bigger fonts ;-) cheers, Sonja -- Sonja Krause-Harder (skh@suse.de) SUSE Research & Development ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE Linux Products GmbH GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
