Hi Tymon,

I think it's great you have stepped up to rework the sl.o website.

Christian who designed the original pages had worked on a new framework a
while back, but we got bogged down trying to find usable (both attractive
and legal) visuals of kids using Sugar.

I have a typographical suggestion - instead of WELCOME TO SUGARLABS it
would be better to keep to the typographical guidelines (lowercase VAG
Rounded Std Light).

Don't forget the press page, the press releases chart (part of) the history
of SL and if we have anything to announce of interest the press page is
where newswire press releases point to (sugarlabs.org/press).

cc'ing the marketing list if anyone is still on it.

Sean

 Hello,

 last week I was working with Walter Bender on new SugarLabs website, as
 current one is too old and doesn't have attractive UI. Results of our work
 is here:

 http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/

 New website is based on Bootstrap, with some plugins and self-written
 jQuery code. It uses Jekyll, so it doesn't need PHP anymore.

 We would like to ask you for opinions about this new website, for ideas
 what we can change/improve/add/fix.

 All suggestions are very welcome!

 Best,
 Tymon

significant changes to page's layout and performance. Please check it now.
We've done some tests and page loads not longer than 3 seconds. UI is more

 Hello, I have a little addition to this website, But i am not a web
 designer but the Activity Section is suppose to change. When i mean
 change, If a user is wanting to download an activity, he/she will be
 scrolling down to actually find what he or she want and that's no a good
 idea. What if the activity section have a drop down menu pattern or some
 like this from this Project mudra site http://www.projectmudra.com/.
 http://www.projectmudra.com/  it will be faster. Also the head or menu
 should  have a drop down pattern. The color is kinda brights for the eyes.
 Since we will be porting to this new site what if every thing should be in
 drop down pattern just like the http://www.projectmudra.com/ site.
 Remember i am only suggesting.

 Very cool! The initial loading screen did seem a tad long but

XO-1 with a 14.1.0 test build, with Flash Plugin:

- initial load and render of http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/ was 48
  seconds, with empty browser cache,

- initial load and render of http://sugarlabs.org/ was 6 seconds,
  with empty browser cache,

- subsequent load and render of http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/ was 31

- subsequent load and render of http://sugarlabs.org/ was 5 seconds,

- back or forward button page render of http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/

I think the load speed is caused by Tymon's site using basically every
JavaScript and css library that has ever been published.  Does this version
load faster @Quozl?  https://activities-2.sugarlabs.org/www-sugarlabs/

 Same test XO-1 laptop, same URLs, without clearing cache.

 My conclusion is that there has been no change to load and render
 since last test on the XO-1.

 Perhaps the video embedding element is the cause?

 Provide a page with and without the video embedding element for
 comparison?

 Three seconds on a modern system is still a surprisingly long time
 compared to the original site.  This is a regression.  Can't you
 include those separate files into the main file?

  Hello, I have a little addition to this website, But i am not a
 web
  designer but the Activity Section is suppose to change. When i
 mean
  change, If a user is wanting to download an activity, he/she will
 be
  scrolling down to actually find what he or she want and that's no
 a good
  idea. What if the activity section have a drop down menu pattern
 or some
  like this from this Project mudra site [5][6]
 http://www.projectmudra.com/
  it will be faster. Also the head or menu should  have a drop down
 pattern.
  The color is kinda brights for the eyes. Since we will be porting
 to this
  new site what if every thing should be in drop down pattern just
 like the
  [7]http://www.projectmudra.com/ site. Remember i am only
 suggesting.

I suggest you check yourself the load times without cache,
 and reduce
the number of servers that have to be resolved.  Also
 identify the
network

 My conclusion is that there has been no change to load and render
 since last test on the XO-1.

 Perhaps the video embedding element is the cause?

 Provide a page with and without the video embedding element for
 comparison?

 Three seconds on a modern system is still a surprisingly long time
 compared to the original site.  This is a regression.  Can't you
 include those separate files into the main file?

Yes, that version loads faster.

15.855 seconds for load and render.

2.824 seconds for render only.

But on your version, the video embedding element Google Code-In |
Promotional video on Sugar is beyond the visible area, only the
sugarlabs title on black background is visible.

Scrolling down by one page using the '×' (multiply) game key incurs a
rendering delay;

1.  if the key is pressed immediately, 9.744 seconds,

2.  if the key is pressed after ten seconds, 2.864 seconds,

Also, if the page is scrolled to position the video embedding element
in the centre of screen, then use forward key to move to another site,
then use back key to move back, rendering time is 14.008 seconds.

Your version loads much faster on my desktop, despite the extra
latency of HTTP over SSL (https).

   My conclusion is that there has been no change to load and

   Perhaps the video embedding element is the cause?
  
   Provide a page with and without the video embedding element for

   Three seconds on a modern system is still a surprisingly long
 time

 you
   include those separate files into the main file?

Same test XO-1 laptop, same URLs, without clearing cache.

http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/ ... load and render 35.343 seconds,
(previously 31 seconds),

http://sugarlabs.org/ ... load and render 6.064 seconds, (previously
5 seconds),

http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/ ... render only, 14.080 seconds,
(previously 14 seconds).

http://sugarlabs.org/ ... render only, 4.400 seconds, (previously 3.6
seconds),

My conclusion is that there has been no change to load and render
since last test on the XO-1.

Perhaps the video embedding element is the cause?

Provide a page with and without the video embedding element for
comparison?

Three seconds on a modern system is still a surprisingly long time

Very cool! The initial loading screen did seem a tad long but probably not
noticeable to most people with a modern laptop like mine. I wonder if
it's okay on an XO-1?

Is the code available somewhere? I checked sugarlab's github but didn't
see it :)

[Sugar-devel] SugarLabs.org new website - looking for opinions/ideas!

2015-02-26 Thread Tymon Radzik
Hello,

last week I was working with Walter Bender on new SugarLabs website, as
current one is too old and doesn't have attractive UI. Results of our work
is here:

http://sugarlabs.org/~tymon/

New website is based on Bootstrap, with some plugins and self-written
jQuery code. It uses Jekyll, so it doesn't need PHP anymore.

We would like to ask you for opinions about this new website, for ideas
what we can change/improve/add/fix.

All suggestions are very welcome!

Best,
Tymon

I did that the first time, and I repeated it now.  There was no
real difference.

 I suggest you check yourself the load times without cache, and reduce
 the number of servers that have to be resolved.  Also identify the
 network speeds of the target market, and how they will perceive load
 times.
 
 The black text on saturated colours was very hard to read, because
 there was not enough contrast between the text and the background.
 
 The animation of the titles seems unnecessary and distracting.
 
 Some of the introduction is repeated word for word in the About
 section.
 
 The style of the embedded activities element is inconsistent with the
 surrounding page style.
 
 Given recent discussions, there's probably an overemphasis on history
 of Sugar, or the history of computing.
 
 Otherwise, good progress.
