Question about materials. Is the plastic of the sticker going to be white or with this metal/silver thing? If the latter, we need to differentiate the metal color from the dark grey goot. > The larger sicker is one that could be put on the top back corner of a > laptop, so people stop and ask questions. Mmm we want to have a reduced selection of items to start with, and Máirín already came with 6 variations of the decal. We better concentrate on the first, I think. Thanks anyway, maybe someone wants to pick the idea. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Together, with time. :) Suggestion: - In the wiki we define the name of each page to be seen in the URL and we describe broadly their content (brief paragraph, just enumeration of point, no real copy). We consider the planning finished once we reach this level of detail. This will be signed off by Dec 6th the latest. - In the meantime, as soon as we have the wgo cms running we create the pages and we start working with real content there. This will help us finding in detail what needs to be researched, what needs to be illustrated, what files we need to attach and so on. We should need to have something decently browsable with all the caveats identified by December 20th - Alpha Phase completed. From that point we will have almost two months to complete everything and produce brilliant texts and graphics: February 14th - String Freeze. Static English texts completed. During this process we will discuss all the details. We can start discussing now. > I think the biggest problem is research. > Just looking at the Get Started section, there is > heaps of stuff I don't know -- what distros do we want > to feature? What about featuring on top those distros produced by GNOME Foundation members (advisory board companies + community people producing good distros). Then we have http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/footware.shtml , that should be integrated to wgo. > What can we offer for Windows & Mac downloads?

I wonder if it makes sense to produce our own LiveCD being in fact a covered Ubuntu or CoolDistroX. If someone wants to do this, great, If not we can rely on the LiveCDs that are being buildt on top pf the last GNOME release out there. > Are there any volunteers? Hopefully it will be easier to find volunteers once the rough pages are created and all the 2.18 issues are identified. Until now wgo is being quite abstract and is being tough to get volunteers. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Getting started on WGO content
Hi all. I've taken on the task of co-ordinating three of the goals that are concerned with creating pages of the new www.gnome.org: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoGetStarted http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoGetInvolved http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoAbout The first two in particular are pretty important. They are the main way into the gnome site for users of gnome, and for potential contributors to gnome, respectively. At this point, I'm looking at the outline of page structure that's come from last cycle's http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/NewWgoStructure goal, and I'm thinking 'Yikes... How are we going to do this?' I think the biggest problem is research. Just looking at the Get Started section, there is heaps of stuff I don't know -- what distros do we want to feature? What can we offer for Windows & Mac downloads? Where's our LiveCD? Is it up to date, and who maintains it? There's going to be a lot of material to write, and while I can rattle out words quite fast I would appreciate any help that's on offer. But as well as writers we need researchers who can go off and ask questions in the right mailing lists [1] and then come back with the answers. Are there any volunteers? [1] Mailing lists.
