Unfortunately I won't be able to join the marketing meeting due to a scheduling conflict, but I’ll stay tuned in to IRC if the conversation moves there.
These mock-ups are preliminary sketches for redesigning GNOME Love pages to make the contribution process a little less daunting for the newcomer. I hope to make the resources and ‘steps’ to contributing as accessible and legible as possible. For the GNOME Love home, I’ve placed Ryan McDougall’s *Starting your GNOME journey* as the introductory guide. It’s currently linked in General Advice, the fifth link on GNOMELove home: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/HowToStart%20En I think with edited and more comprehensive copy, this guide, with its multiple translations, can provide a better overview of advice/how-to’s for contributing to GNOME than the current first link (Learning Your Way/Project Tour page). I think moving the GNOME Love Bug Tracker to the home page is also a clear way to suggest it as a great way for newcomers to begin contributing. The other sketch simply proposes placing a link to the GNOME Love home more prominently on the Get Involved page, as the place to familiarize oneself with how to begin contributing. I’m not married to any of the designs, but I think it moves in the direction of easing the process of first contributing. I hope to continue delving further into the GNOME love/volunteer pages and similarly analyze, consolidate, and restructure them to improve volunteer capture. Any feedback and criticisms are more than welcome! -Tiffany On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 11:11 PM, Sriram Ramkrishna <s...@ramkrishna.me>wrote: > We will also be discussing Tiffany's mockups in tomorrow's meeting. > > sri > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Tiffany Yau <twt...@gmail.com> > Date: Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 11:06 PM > Subject: Re: GNOME Marketing > To: Sriram Ramkrishna <s...@ramkrishna.me> > > > Hi Sri! > > Here are some preliminary mock-ups for Volunteer Capture and make the > getting started process a little more straightforward. > > One is highlighting GNOME Love on the Get Involved page on the GNOME site > to direct people to the wiki and increasing accessibility. > The other is a proposal for moving towards a more graphical interface for > the GNOME Love wiki, which makes the page more legible and the proposal > itself details some more changes. > > Really rough initial drafts, but I would love any feedback. > Surely a lot more to do in terms of streamlining the rest of the wiki, but > I'd love to similarly simplify the contribute pages for each department. > > And Marina graciously directed me towards Favia's blog from this winter, > which has guided me a lot recently. > Could you connect me to her, either via her IRC nick or e-mail?
