Hi Ian,
Consider a restyling "code" sprint during FOSS4G in August in Bonn. Would be great to present a new design before a 1000-people audience there & then regards, GJ Van: Ian Edwards [mailto:[email protected]] Verzonden: donderdag 10 december 2015 13:40 Aan: Massimiliano Cannata CC: Gert-Jan van der Weijden (OSGeo.nl); Web Site Committee (WebCom) mailing list; OSGeo Discussions Onderwerp: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Barn raising: osgeo.org web site Hi Gert-Jan, Maxi, I agree with both of you. In terms of the design I'd encourage you to get involved with discussions (and implementation..!) via the webcom list as we get underway. The aim will be to provide a number of theme choices and to improve the design of the site substantially (on both desktop and mobile devices). Maxi - we can style the site in anyway, regardless of the back end being drupal. The style of the landing page can be a focus of additional effort, and could be static, cached, or database-driven on each visit. Hopefully there will be a lot of discussion around how we're communicating the content as we go forward, but the main focus is certainly the technology upgrade. If we only achieved a site that looked like the old site, but was on upgraded software then this would still be a very desirable outcome.

At least for the landing page, the rest could be more functional and be Drupal or whatsoever you think is better from a technical point of view. In my opinion we need a re-design of the website and of the communication.

All - please keep sending in requirements for the remake of the main osgeo.org [2] website. It may make sense to move specifics of this discussion to the webcom mailing list, but please reply on discuss with any major issues to this proposal overall, or with any alternative suggestions prior to tomorrow's board meeting.

Many thanks, Ian P.S. I anticipate that we may not all agree that a manual migration to Drupal 8 is the absolute optimal solution --- but please bear in mind that possible upgrades have been in discussion since 2007... We're looking for a solution that can be easily implemented and meets the main requirements (including removing ad hoc custom PHP and also ensuring solid multilingual support). I've added more requirements to the wiki as well: - Allow easy way to find communication channels: mailing lists IRC OSGeo Slack OSGeo HipChat OSGeo Gitter -jeff _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss Links: ------ [1] http://lists.osgeo.org [2] http://osgeo.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -- Massimiliano Cannata Professore SUPSI in ingegneria Geomatica Responsabile settore Geomatica Istituto scienze della Terra Dipartimento ambiente costruzione e design Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana Campus Trevano, CH - 6952 Canobbio Tel. +41 (0)58 666 62 14 <tel:%2B41%20%280%2958%20666%2062%2014> Fax +41 (0)58 666 62 09 <tel:%2B41%20%280%2958%20666%2062%2009> [email protected] www.supsi.ch/ist
