Hello, As you know we are invited to the salon InterTice 2013 this week, in Paris, to represent DDL. The organizers proposed me to make an official presentation of our project, which of course I accepted! So I have been offered 1 hour on Wednesday (15h-16h) to tell about and show DDL :), enough time to present the project, its goals, how DDL looks like, etc.
As a result I started to write a slideshow. Instead of using blotted office software that always cause problems with placement and fonts, I decided to use Spip to make the presentation [1]. This way our presentations can easily be translated into other languages, just like our website is since presentations are indeed Spip pages whose sections are the slides. You just have to click on the presentation button near the page title to start the presentation. [1] http://www.doudoulinux.org/spip/francais/en-parler/supports-de-communication/presentations/article/intertice-2013 The presentation is not finished yet but you can start to read and comment (notions of French required right now ;) ). If you have ideas about illustrations or screenshots to make it more beautiful, feel free to send me files. If you notice something that is missing, the same applies. If you want to totally redesign the slide graphics, please do! Note that, to really show the slides fullscreen, clicking “fullscreen” in your web browser will probably not do what you want because parts of your browser like the address bar will still be displayed. To change this, in Epiphany, you just have to check “Mask toolbar”. In Firefox you'll need a dedicated extension to switch to a real fulscreen mode. Note also that, although the slides are only online, it is possible to save them using the save feature of your web browser. This works with Firefox but not with Epiphany that keeps links to the online resources in the saved page. The only modification to do to a saved page, is to change the link of the presentation button that still points to the online page and then would raise an error offline (search for the A tag of id “spip_presentation_show” and set its href to #presentation). On the technical side, the trick is to include javascript code [2] and CSS styles [3] that can turn a standard Spip page into a set of slides. In the Spip page, you need to insert “<slideshow|bystep=0>” on the very top of the page to insert the presentation button. Then, when you click click on this button, the script does the magic and replaces the full page content by the slides, one by one. There is a navigation toolbar on the top right corner. You can even use keys to change of slide or quit: arrow keys (not on Webkit-based browsers), space bar, letters N(ext) and P(revious), Escape. NB: the inspiration source was a GreaseMonkey script written for Wikipedia that exactly does that.
