> btw what about now?
Much, much better. I have a few more comments though ..... ;)
1. For the mailing list info, there is a link to the old Geocrawler
archives. I think that should probably be removed because SF.net has their
own archives now and they also include the content from the old Geocrawler
archives. You can already get to the SF.net archives by clicking on the
mailing list name and then choosing archives on the following page. It might
be nice to add an archive link right next to every mailing list, so for
example:
dri-devel [Archives]
dri-user [Archives]
....
....
Or just have the mailing list name and have
Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Preferences/Achives next to it like SF.net does. You
can just copy/paste their HTML code.
2. I really like the new font, it makes things a lot easier to read! But,
the font in the left menu frame is not the same, that should be fixed.
3. On the status page you have the outstanding infrastructure status at the
bottom. While that certainly is status information, I don't think it fits in
with the other content of the page and is probably also not the kind of
status information a user would be looking for. I suggest you move that
information onto the contribute page and reorganize that page into the
following topics/headings:
a) "We are looking for more developers" : keep the first three
paragraphs of the intro text as it is now.
b) "Where to get started?" : link to the developer FAQ, pointer to
mailing lists, link to IRC logs and time (just point to the FAQ questions)
and link to documentation page. So basically the last 4 sentences from the
current page.
c) "Outstanding Projects" : the outstanding infrastructure status info,
that would be useful for developers wondering what items still need to be
done (aside from drivers of course).
4. Links on the links page should have target="_top" or "_new" so that they
don't open in a frame. The same goes for the links to the mailing lists and
the links to other peoples pages on the Status page (Leif's page has the
problem, I dunno about the others).
5. And my last major major gripe is the frame at the top with the big logo.
It really does take up a lot of screenspace -- even at 1024x768. I really
don't think it's necessary to have it there to remind people that they are
on the DRI site. If you really really want to display the DRI logo I suggest
two things:
a) BEST**** --- just put the little DRI logo at the top of the left menu
frame, like on the current site
b) If you really want to have a big top logo on every page, insert it at
the top of the page so I can scroll it out of view. Just modify the
dri_header() code for that.
Anyway, I think the site looks a lot better now. It's almost ready for
primetime. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
- Frank
