IMHO, the way to do these things is concept/functions/hierarchy -> graphical design -> implementation (HTML, CSS, CMS hacking). Concept making has already been started as far as i can see, but it's still kind of long way to actually changing anything general on the website. When we have new templates worked out, it won't be so hard to switch them with the current ones. Of course, small changes can be done anytime, i just think that a bigger revamp shall not be started by jumping in the middle of the haystack. A voluntary leader for the "pimp up" would be nice...

It sounds like a number of people are interested in working on the site. Right now its currently IOhannes and I doing the admin for the most part. In my opinion, I'd like to see some other people take over the website stuff, since IOhannes and I already have a lot on our shoulders. What do you think, IOhannes? There is a certain amount that only IOhannes can do since only he has root access to the server itself.
If some of you who spoke up here want to try to get together to make things happen, I'll do what I can do support that.

Not that i'm not lagging with other tasks (build farm... err) but i want to offer my HTML/CSS skills to this initiative. I don't know Plone so much but I've been converting graphical designs to actual pages since 1993 so just tell me when you need it.

Yes, sure. That's what I thought. Dealing with the whole website is a major commitment. Let's start with downloads page, then we'll see.

I think it should be ok for you to get admin access. But just to make sure we are on the same page, we are talking about CSS/template work for just the downloads page, not the entire site. If you want to take on the entire site, that is also possible, but that would mean getting more people involved.

Ok, I'm reading the Plone documentation and as I imagined, it seems I do need to be admin to access and modify the css style.
IOhannes, how can we proceed? Do I need server access too?
Meantime, does anyone want to share their ideas for a better looking style of the site? (font colors, dimensions, headers, etc, etc...)

Awesome! I don't know specifically, maybe IOhannes can add some details, but it should be a fairly standard Plone template thing, so check the Plone docs. .hc On Tue, 2011-03-08 at 16:33 +0000, Marco Donnarumma wrote: > Hey, > I could give the CSS a go... > > > HC what do I need, how can I access the CSS styles? > > > M > > > > > On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Pierre Massat <pimassat@gmail.com> > wrote: > Is IOhannes the only member in charge of maintaining the > website? > > 2011/3/8 Husk 00 <husk00@gmail.com> > > On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 4:22 PM, Caio Barros > <caio.barros@gmail.com> wrote: > > Actually now the left menu and the tabs on the top > are redundant, and that > > scratches my obsessive-compulsive disorder. > > Since it seems that the left menu is the favorite > one, maybe dropping the > > top tabs should be cosidered. > > > > Caio Barros > > > > > I'm agree with that. > thanks IOhannes for the effort... > husk > > -- > when Art become pratical > we call it technology. > > When Technology become useless > we call it Art > > www.estereotips.net > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > > > > -- > Marco Donnarumma > Independent New Media and Sonic Arts Professional, Performer, > Instructor > ACE, Sound Design MSc by Research (ongoing) > The University of Edinburgh, UK > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Portfolio: http://marcodonnarumma.com > Lab: http://www.thesaddj.com | http://cntrl.sourceforge.net | http://www.flxer.net > Event: http://www.liveperformersmeeting.net >-- Marco Donnarumma Independent New Media and Sonic Arts Professional, Performer, Instructor ACE, Sound Design MSc by Research (ongoing) The University of Edinburgh, UK
