Hi Zarel, hi list! Am Mittwoch, 17. Juni 2009 02:08:15 schrieb Zarel: > -> The site logo in the upper left should be updated to be inline with > the new Warzone logo. [...] Agreed.

For a general development introductory page this might not be the best choice. I would put it more towards "Programming", and maybe even dedicate an own page to it. - Reason: The introductory page should direct to the right documentation. The chunk of text at the beginning draws more attention than necessary. Apart from that: Agreed. PS: Is it possible to improve the CSS of http://developer.wz2100.net/? I like the one of http://wz2100.net/ a lot more, if we are going to use the site not exclusively for technical documentation. > -> It might help to add a "Download" tab between "FAQ" and "User Guide". > -> The Blog _really_ isn't updated enough for its entire own tab. [...] Agreed. > -> I believe the Warzone Guide is complete enough that it can directly > replace the "User Guide" tab. I would prefer to have such stuff in the Wiki. - Reason: Ease of editing. If that's infeasible, at least make sure it's on the same server (make wz2100.net a mirror using rsync, for example) and stays in line with the current layout/style. (Use the same (links, not copies) CSS files.) - Reason1: I would not want to loose any content if someone of us gets lost. Thus a server which is kind of sure not to vanish, and where multiple persons can get backups in emergency cases. - Reason2: One style for the page just looks better. In addition http://guide.wz2100.net/ is not an introductory page like http://wz2100.net/user-guide is. http://guide.wz2100.net/intro comes closes, though it is not the frontpage. It also has style issues: - Starts with a *huge* flash box, which makes the page look almost empty on first sight for me. - The "Introduction" section should be merged into the http://wz2100.net/ frontpage if necessary. In this location it seems like duplication. - "Installing" mentions compilation instructions. I'd prefer a link to the Wiki instead. - The Documents Project finds no mention at all. - There is no hint to the Development section. - Contact information (better: a link to them) is lacking. - The navigation panel on the right is not immediately noticed as such. In general I would prefer a more textual page with less markup. (Markup is like makeup: Best effects are achieved if applied decent.) Means: In-text links, headings should not detract from the content, not too much colour which could draw attention from the important parts, etc. And get that flash thing away from the start of the page. That said, http://wz2100.net/user-guide also has suboptimal style. The opening "paragraph" mentions the FAQ, which is never mentioned later. The opening paragraph should just be an introduction and summary, while the important questions should be placed more prominently in the subsections. > Let's rename our project from "Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project" to > "Warzone 2100 Project" (and the abbreviation from "WRP" to "WZP"). Even though I do not like name changes, those 6 reasons got me convinced. Kind regards, Dennis
