Re: [opensuse-wiki] Yet another plea for testing
Wrong list... again. This mailing list situation is really just too silly. Makes it so trivial to make a mistake and send it to the wrong list. *sigh* On 7/3/07, Frank Sundermeyer <fs@suse.de> wrote:
I also would like to hear your feedback on mainting the new starting page - it has become more complicated:
Looks great! A few ideas: * I see it's running on Mediawiki 1.5.8 -- this is pretty ancient. Would this be a good opportunity to upgrade? * After speaking as well with Robert the other day, we thought anchor tags could have font-style: none, and then on a:hover be underlined. This looks a little neater (and more contemporary these days, I think), fits in better with the links in the navigation, and it's still obvious that they're links if they're the same blue that they are now. * I really think we have too many navigation links :D. For the right column, what do you think about removing the whole "Documentation" and "Interactive" sections? Documentation is already mentioned on the left, and perhaps the left column could also have "Communicate" link which links to [[Communicate]] which outlines all those interaction methods. This way we reduce the amount of links on the homepage (so the user isn't immediately overwhelmed), and there's a more clear distinction for the left/right columns. The left column having project information, documentation etc, while the right column strictly handles news and events.

this is not my decision - darix, any plans to upgrade the openSUSE wiki?

With the current link colors (which I like) I would prefer to stay with underlined links, because the dark blue for non-visited links differs too little from the black text. Depending on the monitor quality it may be hard to distinguish between links and normal text. If we really need to remove the underlining we have to change the link colors again (and I would prefer not to do that, because it's not easy to find another colorset that fits with all three designs).

Agreed - I have done as you suggested. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane (Dogbert) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
