I liked the proposed site theme. Very coupled and readable. Since I do a lot
of my web browsing on a smart phone now, I am signed up on the website
mailing list and looking forward to testing how it works on a 3.5 screen.

Drupal is able to support two themes simultaneously. It would just be
a matter of choice if we wanted to have a mobile domain which is
displayed with a mobile theme. Maybe something we can think about at a
later date.

Michael,

When I look at my own web logs, I see a majority of windows +/- 40%, next
highest is unknown +/- 20% and third is linux +/- 15
in that unknown is a (probably) a lot of smartphone action.  I know there
are a lot of people browsing anonymously, but it would amaze me if that was
more than 4 or 5 percent of the total,

Maybe I can help with mobile theming that when the time comes.

Great job! Is there a timeframe for this to replace the current home page?
BTW - your placeholder theme looks fine.  I think you could allow the
regular users to choose from a range of builtin themes.  I build for
readability and comprehension and many themes mar those goals.

Thanks for the feedback,

There is a proposal from Carlos Jenkins regarding the theme which is
currently under review within the design team mailing list.
IMO Carlos' theme is quite clean and does a good job in maintaining
readability while having a modern feel.
Please have a look at the proposal and feel free to give feedback
either here, on the design list or on the website mailing list.
http://www.cjenkins.net/files/LibO_Website_Design_Proposal_DrupalDevTeam.tar.gz

The timeframe for implementing a Drupal based community site is
dependent on the time it takes to establish high quality customized
work flows for the project teams. We are working through the
documentation workflow at the moment and an 'idea generation' /
'brainstorm' / Feature request tool is being developed so as to have a
structured tool that we can coordinate longer term improvements of
LibreOffice.

Thanks for the interest and any more feedback is welcomed.

[tdf-discuss] [website][drupal] The Drupal website development update - December 2010

2010-12-18 Thread Michael Wheatland
I thought it was about time to share some of the progress that the
Drupal website development team has made since the last update.
You can view the progress of the site at www.libreofficeaustralia.org
(Note that international pages have not yet been setup)

I would like to express my thanks to everyone who has been
contributing to the Drupal site development so far, the development of
the workflows and behind the scenes systems is fantastic.
Since the last update we have:

Put together a temporary theme (So people can get a feel for the site)
Created a video support section, where authorised people can submit
externally hosted tutorial videos
Refined some of the forums systems (Still working on the mailing list
type functionality)
Created a governance system whereby SC members can propose agendas and
submit meeting minutes
 The system automatically displays info on the next
upcoming meeting from proposed agendas and you can play minutes
recordings without downloading the file
Setup a facebook support page where anyone can ask questions. We are
currently working on ways for two way communication with FB and other
social networks.
In the process of creating an interactive FAQ section
Creating the concept for the brainstorm system - This is a big
undertaking and needs to be planned carefully for integration with
other systems
Interactive Project Teams now have their own forums and announcement
areas (restricted posting to team members only)

There are many other facets of work which I will not go into right
now, but suffice to say that I am very proud of the work that the
Drupal Website Development Team is doing.
We will soon have more contact with the project teams to refine and
revise the work we have implemented to suit their UI and workflow
needs.

The main area which we will concentrate on after the new year will be
internationalisation and working with the native language teams to
adapt our website design to suit their needs and incorporate
suggestions from those teams across all languages.

Again, a huge thankyou to all of those who have been involved with the
development so far. There is still a lot of development to go for the
resulting community site ,I encourage you to get more involved (time
permitting) now, or after LibreOffice 3.3 has been released into the
wild.

Thanks to this group for all the work. After working on a Drupal site
for a F/OSS Fest in the U.S., I appreciate how much work this can be.
