Good evening all, I'll list here all the bugs and issues of the current design (https://www.sc40.sfo.collab.net) I think are worth fixing or taking into account. This is an addition to Maarten's buglists and he has personally contacted me, asking to maintain these for the time being.
Everyone is free to suggest new issues here, whatever one may find. There are no stupid questions. Issues regarding content and page text fall to some other category, this is only for design issues or problems in the code. A more technical and detailed discussion on these items will be held at [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ISSUELIST_ True blockers: [ ] TITLE of the homepage must be something else than "Home". Suggesting "OpenOffice.org". -- Note: The design can't be published before this is fixed. -- Bugs: [ ] The highlightings on the top navigation bar are not correct on other pages -- see for yourself. [ ] Way too many unnecessary and nested DIVs. Replace with P tags with the same class or id. Remove those not needed. [ ] DIVs containing only whitespace exist on homepage. For example one with id="contextualinformation". Enhancements: [ ] "Skip to contents" links for ALL pages. Both "id" and "name" attributes for level 1 headings (on every page) to make this work. [ ] The "HTML Tidy" program suggests removing many of the indentations in the XHTML code to decrease filesize and download times. [ ] More compact CSS, maybe through combining declarations and using shorthand properties. [ ] Description (META) for the homepage (Note: displayed in Google - search for "W3C" for example and look at the first result). [ ] Content-Language definition (META) and xml:lang attribute (HTML) should be added for better internationalization. [ ] Decrease the filesize of all images and backgrounds to as painfully small as possible. [ ] Increase text size of the left-hand navigation bars to make them stand out more. [ ] Remove the gray line below the main content. It's useless and looks untidy. [ ] Egg image: Test different images on the homepage to see if they do good for the design. [ ] There are two paragraphs (P) in the search field. One would do, with a BR separating the texts. [ ] Accesskeys for links and a comprehensive list of them in site help. Trivial (judge for yourselves): [ ] Shorter class and ID names. Prefer "topnav", but "forscreenreadersonly" and "contextualinformation" are unnecessarily long. [ ] Blue buttons on the homepage (default state) have 2 different shades of blue that don't fit together and break each other. [ ] "In the Media" on the homepage and left nav headings on others need a bit more styling (I suggest a border). [ ] META descriptions on at least some of the major index pages (Projects, Support, About...). [ ] Consider adding title texts (shown as tooltips) to navigation links. If you have any questions, ask. If I won't be here to answer them, at least someone will. ;) Regards, Miikka Leskinen miles_fin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
