The advantages of GNOME 3 page style are unclear to me currently, Advantages of moving over to using Wordpress for the release notes (that I can think of): 1. The notes will be on gnome.org rather than under library.gnome.org/misc (why are the notes for our new release in a 'library'? why are they 'miscellaneous'?) 2. Avoid the bookishness of the format (sub-headings everywhere, boxes of links interrupting the flow of the document), which is rather stilted. 3. Allow embedding of richer media, such as lightboxes, image galleries and videos. 4. Allow flexible design, facilitating a more stylish and attractive layout. 5. Allow division of the notes into separate pages, rather than being a single *huge* page. Apart from point 1 and maybe partially point 4: Isn't this all also fixable by just switching from Docbook to Mallard? :) andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
3.4 Release Parties?
Does anybody volunteer to promote the 3.4 release in two weeks? Should we at least set up a central wikipage (continent - country - city, address, date, time, contact person), so people can enter potential come-togethers on https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/ThreePointFour/ReleaseParties ? And ask on https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gugmasters-list to add dates? andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Is there anything we can do with the docbook format css-wise to make it look and behave nicer for this release? - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
