(related to below) a new global top navbar, that's consistent +across all mageia.org; a preview is available here: +<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/about/?testnav=1">http://www.mageia.org/en/about/?testnav=1</A> ; documentation for +using/spreading it is available here: <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/_nav/">http://www.mageia.org/_nav/</A> ; +improvements brought by this new design: + - it's consistent and can be consistently deployed and updated in +all mageia.org sites and apps (using the javascript snippet); + - it embeds the Mageia project logo, so branding is consistent too; + - it structures and highlights how the mageia.org Web at large is organized. + + b. (related to above) a more obvious site map, a preview is available +here: <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/fr/map/?testnav=1">http://www.mageia.org/fr/map/?testnav=1</A> ; there are several +(new) sections here that are not ready/do no exist yet; and parts of +the existing contents need to be reorganized; but this will give you +an idea; it's the Community and Contribute sections that need a lot of +thought and work; the site map is organized in 6 sections: + - About Mageia (learning about the project and NPO - that's the +institutional part of the site) + - Downloads (learning about and getting the software, updates, etc.) + - Support + - Community (what's happening, who is in this project, what are the +tools at hand) + - Contribute (what one can do in the project) + - You (one's user account and facilities with Mageia) + + c. as introduced above, a new Community section with its own home +page (mageia.org/community or shorthand mageia.org/coop or ?): that's +where contributors and active users will want to go for what's in the +community, who is there, doing what, and what can be done; this +section's landing page is to summarize news (blog, planet, calendar), +activities (forum, bugzilla, buildsystem, teams reports) + + d. change how people get to mageia.org: + 1. the home page of www.mageia.org will focus and provide a single +major call to action: get Mageia; with a few, lower contrast other +actions (more info, contribute). Preview here: +<A HREF="http://i.imgur.com/nDlwK.png">http://i.imgur.com/nDlwK.png</A> (not on par with Mageia bg design, I'm +still not sure how to integrate it properly); the rationale is: + - most people coming to www.mageia.org/ leave quickly; + - for (most) new/casual visitors, we tell them the main story: +download and use Mageia; + - for other visitors, with a goal, we propose them shortlinks +to: Support, Community and About Mageia.Org sections + + 2. loading the browser in Mageia currently sends you to +start.mageia.org which in turn redirects to www.mageia.org; I'd like +to change that so that start.mageia.org goes to +www.mageia.org/community/ + 3. given these changes, in the new navigation bar, clicking on the +logo/home position would not redirect to the c.1. home (which is +targetted to fresh/new visitors) neither /community, but to /map which +provides a large, top-view of what's available in mageia.org Web site. +That's quite a change from usual navigation practices (although it is +used sometimes), and I'm not 100% confident yet, but I think it's +worth trying something a bit different. + + +There's still a lot of improvements in this (and other topic not +reached here, such as www pages layout in general), and I suspect some +of the proposed changes above won't make it for some people. + +Among other noticeable, shipped changes: + - rewritten <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/about/">http://www.mageia.org/en/about/</A> to better introduce the +whole section; + - added <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/about/constitution/">http://www.mageia.org/en/about/constitution/</A> + - consolidated code for <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/about/reports/">http://www.mageia.org/en/about/reports/</A> + - consolidated code for the downloads (in the background, still need +to articulate 1 and 2 pages and listings) + - download redirector page +(<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/get/?q=Mageia-2-rc-i586-DVD.iso&torrent=1&testnav=1">http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/get/?q=Mageia-2-rc-i586-DVD.iso&torrent=1&testnav=1</A> +for instance) has room for two major call for action, once the +download is running (those would be: 1) what to do with the file once +download is complete, and 2) how to contribute back to the project ?) + +Quick feedback welcome, so I can know what can be shipped for 2 +official release or not. +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000867.html">[Mageia-marketing] Meeting this week +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000869.html">[Mageia-marketing] Web site, a few updates pending, open for comments +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#868">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#868">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#868">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#868">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
