1/ Concerning the Manuals Page
- As proposed, "obsolete banners" are added to thumbnails of the
oldest manuals.
Looks good. A few minor comments:
I haven't tested it, but the natural tables in context examples (in
Sec 3.6) should still work with latest versions.
The "context rehab for amsmath addicts" should be in math (or
sciences) rather than tables. (This reminds me, I should update that
reference).
Both corrections are made, thanks for your help.
- About providing zips of manuals per topics: maybe we could just
add a index.html in the distribution structure, to provide the
user with a browsing system similar to the wiki's one.
- If the admistrators wish, I can now replace the current page.
One concern that I have is how easy it is to navigate the page on the
phone. Currently, it does not really work on the phone. Is there some
way to make it more responsive?
Thanks again, of primary importance.
Should be far better now (quickly checked on two smartphones, one
android and one ios)
Thanks. Both pages look good on mobile now. I am okay with merging this with
the old manuals page. A small suggestion is that we could omit the table of
content on this page, as it is almost redundant in the new format.
2/ After the Manuals, please find a proposal for the Welcome Page,
which is probably trickier
- https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page_TempProposal
- https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page (the current)
- 4 objectives :
1/ do something more visual, reduce the amount of text,
Some of us prefer text. What was earlier a one step process for me (go
to home page, search for keyword, go to page), is now a two step
process. But I agree that the new proposed layout is more friendly to
new users and support it.
Yes, I suspected that the current version had advantages as a result of
past iterations.
It would be interesting to identify the links that people want to access
in one step. We can list them in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Talk:Main_Page_TempProposal, and I will
try to find ways to integrate them.
Personally, I don't think that it is a big deal.
2/ provide a fairly comprehensive overview with less than 15
topics,
3/ but hold in one (big) screen,
4/ avoid redundancies on the Welcome Page,
5/ match both the Wiki's structure & the Manuals' structure.
Again, depending on your feedbacks, I would be happy to improve it.
It's built from scripts ==> not too hard now to reorder, to adapt.
You should also document your work flow somewhere (perhaps the talk
page of the same page or a dedicated page on the wiki). That is useful
for long term maintainability of the wiki.
Done: two zip files are uploaded, with link and brief description in the
Talk zone of the respective pages.
Thanks.
I am okay with changing the main page as well. But since this is the main page,
let's wait for the other mods to chime in as well.
