[Oslc-communications] New Site Designs

[Brian King]

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll take it into account as we proceed. The current theme live is not the one we are using. We are building the new one right now based on designs. The plan is to have something live next week. In the meantime, you can see the new designs at:

https://github.com/OSLC/oslc-site-hugo/labels/Design

To provide feedback on those, I recommend doing it in the individuals issues.

Hi Brian,
as promised, I had a look at the new site designs @ https://oslc.github.io/
I like it very much, it looks fresh and modern and has a clear structure.

Here are some comment/questions:

- the animation of the top banner is a little bit too fast for me. In general it’s good having it, but with the current frequency is too hectic.
  Is it possible to slow this down to: e.g. flip every 10s?

- in the top navigation bar I’m missing the topics like “SPECIFICATIONS”, “USER GROUPS”.
  I know we have talked about it, but meanwhile, I’m not  so sure that those currently listed are the right ones.
  I agree that we should limit the number of entries there, but we should have a  “MORE” entry for additional topics.
  I’d rather put “SPECIFICATIONS” or “USER GROUPS” on the top and put “RESOURCES” in “MORE”.

- “CONTRIBUTE”: do we have a good reason why we want to change “PARTICIPATE” to “CONTRIBUTE”?
  “Participate” sounds for me more like an invitation  whereas “contribute” is a bit demanding.

- topics on the lower part of the main screen: is this already the planned list of topics? Will there be subpages behind them?
  Why is “DISCOVER RESOURCES” so prominent?

- Do we want to have a “NEWS” section? Either as a little window like “The Latest” on the old page and/or an entry in main menu bar?

I did not open issues for the topics above, because I’m not sure what I would prefer myself, but I would be interested hear what the others think.

Bye and have a nice day
Rainer

Hi,

We’re almost done with new site designs, I think they are shaping up really nice. If you want to see what they look like and provide feedback, you can find them in issues here:

https://github.com/OSLC/oslc-site-hugo/issues

The preferred feedback is directly in the issues, but if you are not comfortable with that or don’t have a GitHub account then you can provide it here or directly to me.

We’ll start implementing the designs next week.

Brian
