[Wikimediach-l] Visual guidelines web site
I would put the accent in the fact that the web site is completely independent from visual guidelines. We have already visual guidelines: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_visual_identity_guidelines And we must respect them. Probably someone has used a different name for a different aim. So, we would not change the visual guidelines of WMF but probably found a look and feel which can be useful for the communication, but in any case this look and feel will be done in respect of the visual guidelines already in place.

This is NOT a corporate design. Btw. we are moving away from the original discussion. Emmanuel pointed out that there is no project management. This is still the fact. Another fact is that I have discussed with the board several times and the conclusion was always that we need a new design. So that's my ground of this discussion, and that's what we have all agreed on both on the board and this mailinglist. So where is the project plan? What are selection criterias? How are we supposed to come to a decision by respecting all aspects of this project? I am open for for suggestions. /Manuel And we must respect them.

I think you mean we can speak from the visual guidelines without speaking from the web site... but the opposite is wrong. That is the reason why you have to have strong visual guidelines before making a professional web site. We have already visual guidelines: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_visual_identity_guidelines And we must respect them. Probably someone has used a different name for a different aim.

Yes, that means: - developing a variation over the WMF guidelines. - this will become the WMCH visual guidelines - these guidelines has to be followed/implemented on all used media *also the web site*.

Emmanuel This means that we have visual guidelines (also if they doesn't cover all elements) and we can proceed with the web site. These guidelines indicates: a) color to be used b) logos and trademark c) fonts This is not strange because we do what other chapters have done. What I would put the accent is the communication and the message. In my opinion these guidelines are sufficient to give us the freedom to have a more communicative web site, now we can focus on the next (and more important) point.

So WMCH visual guidelines are exactly the same as the foundation. Not sure this this is the best approach to communicate on the swissness (like written in on the wiki)... but why not.

These are the guidelines issued by chapters, approved by WMF. All chapters must follow them. They are poor, but we don't start from scratch.
