[libreoffice-website] Redesigning the website
Hello, The time has come for us to work on a new and improved web site for LibreOffice. While it served us well for several years already, it has also shown some downsides and people tend to complain more. Because of this the board has decided to start a website redesign project and as such the first thing that needs to be clarified is to define the scope of this website redesign. Technically speaking we will continue using our SilverStripe platform; we won't pick a new CMS (they are more or less the same for what needs to be done). We will not be targetting any of the current development and communications platforms: gerrit, git repos, the wiki, the mailing lists etc. fall out of the scope of our discussion. For practical reasons, so do the templates and the extensions sites. What needs to be redesigned then falls under three categories: * the design itself (understand: the theme, the general look of the website) * the content. We may reuse some of it as there are certainly some good bits available, but we will also reorganize the way we think about the general presentation of the website. In this regard the discussion about how to engage users to the LibreOffice community and the resulting survey that has just been launched will help on this matter. But we obviously need to think about the landing page. * while the technical bits themselves are not covered for this specific aspect, we would need to think about the whole download experience and the download page itself. Requirements: that's the nice part :-) - we will have a test environment with a SilverStripe instance to build out the website. - designers are welcome: this will be a key part of the project. The board has published a job posting on this a few days ago. General comments: This redesign is very much an end-user focused initiative and as such a marketing need. I must stress again that this isn't a project where we decided to overhaul the online development and collaborative work tools. This is rather the opportunity to develop a nice looking, clear front facing website for LibreOffice. Another element that should not be forgotten is to make sure the Native-Lang communities are not forgotten and are included in this redesign. I'm happy to work not just Christian Lohmaier here but with everyone who'd like to help. Thanks! -- Charles-H.

[libreoffice-website] New requirements BSA
Hi All, I am busy with updating the BSA so it uses the XMLRPC-interface for getting information from Bugzilla in stead of interpeting the HTML-source. But to be able to build via the new scripts we need the perl-components XMLRPC::Lite and HTML::Template installed on kermit. Can this be installed? -- Many Thanks, Rob Snelders -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-website] Redesigning the website
Excellent news. I look forward to this, but we should try to have a uniform presentation of the content this time, so preferably translations of the English text in Pootle... 6. nov. 2013 16:57 skrev Charles-H.

Olav, Daniel, (This thread shall continue exclusively on the website list). Le Wed, 6 Nov 2013 18:13:50 +0100, Olav Dahlum odah...@gmail.com a écrit : Excellent news. I look forward to this, but we should try to have a uniform presentation of the content this time, so preferably translations of the English text in Pootle... I do not believe (maybe it's possible) that even with uniform presentations one could use Pootle for automatic translations here. I also believe that to some extent it might not be desirable. While a large part of the content should remain the same (hey, we're talking about the same thing!) there might be cultural or contextual differences from one language to another. Nothing in particular comes to my mind in this regard at the moment, but you never know. Thank you for the kind words, Charles. 6. nov. 2013 16:57 skrev Charles-H.
