[Bug 1094722] New: New wiki design (as of 25.05.18) needs a bit of fixing
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1094722 Bug ID: 1094722 Summary: New wiki design (as of 25.05.18) needs a bit of fixing Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Wiki Assignee: ddemaio@suse.com Reporter: gutigen@protonmail.ch QA Contact: adrian@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I've noticed that new wiki design needs a bit of fixing, mostly in accessibility department (it's not easy to read). Let's start with basics: a) It's monolithic - there is no distinction between page elements which forces user to specifically look for what they need in a wall of text instead of finding what they need or may need through natural flow of the page browsing. This happens mostly due two issues: * lack of distinguishable features that differentiate parts of the page (usually done with background shades/colors and/or elements borders) * font formating is all over the place (from font size to weight) b) Golden ratio, a foundation of ANY, ANY quality design from ancient greek art to modern photography to system UX to web... is nowhere to be seen on wiki making everything completely disconnected, random and not pleasant for the user (for example, it's very easy to spot on badly formatted books or newspapers when you suddenly get taken out of the content and notice that something is wrong with text, but don't know what exactly) A bit more about golden ratio here: https://apiumhub.com/tech-blog-barcelona/golden-ratio-in-web-design Even openSUSE own artwork guidelines seem to agree: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_guidelines I know that someone put work into new wiki design, but openSUSE deserves a bit more. Web presence is big part of marketing and even a foss project is always a product and should be treated as such, otherwise it will fail. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

As the original author of Chameleon, I am still working on the skin. For me, it is still unfinished, just like a seven years old boy.
I'd say that this boy is much older already, maybe 15? ;-) I know there are still a few small issues, but in general it is more than good enough to have it by default. It also got a round of applause when I announced the switch at the openSUSE conference at the end of my "Heroes, not Superheroes" talk (you might want to watch the video, you'll have lots of fun ;-) Sadly I failed to mention you for doing all the hard work, sorry for that!
Next pull request will update many things. But golden ratio is not in my todo list...
I'm looking forward for your pull request nevertheless ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
