portal - design
by Michael Zeltner 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

hey guys just wanted to let you know that i'd be interessted in helping to design the portal. i made some major changes to the plone 2.0 skin (yes i'm a plone developer), which is extremely flexible now and has a tableless layout (which is flexible and "browser-independent" too). you can change nearly everything regarding the design with the ploneCustom.css file now. even make a fake 4+ column design and replace text (like the tabs, or the column box [portlet] headers) with images. (that sounds like i'm a marketing guy :P) if you're interested and you know somebody with great graphical skills, get him/her to mail me a an approved new layout/design (or i can make a proposal too), and i'll send you the files i changed ;) but migration should be done when 2.0 final arrives (betas or cvs is never that good if you use it for production). regards, michael -- niij° <http://niij.org/>

Random requests for help on pd.org
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

I don't know if you have noticed, but random people have started posting pleas for help using the 'add comment' feature of some sections of the site. We should get that forum frontend to the list setup so that these go in their proper place and they can get help. What do we have to do to get it working? If people could post to the list like a forum using the pd.org member ID, that would be awesome. FYI: I have stuck up a copy of the mailing list page from iem.at/pure-data.sf.net as a place holder. .hc http://at.or.at/hans/

Best way to do a FAQ
by Frank Barknecht 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Hallo, I think, one of the useful things on the old pd.org has been the FAQ. Hans now has created a "Topic" inside the FAQ folder to collect FAQs interactive. While the interactivity is very important, I think, that a Topic might not be the best way to organize it. For example, it is very hard to group items in a Topic or to search for unanswered questions. I looked at how plone.org organizes their faq hoping to find a kind of "FAQ wizard", but they just use a Wikiweb for the FAQ. This might not be the last word, but I do think that it is at least a bitbetter than a Topic: We could collect new questions via comments and then create a list of unanswered questions by using the back links feature of a Wiki. (using for example "AnswerNeeded" as a called WikiBadge. I made an example for this here: http://www.pure-data.org/Members/fbar/sandbox/AnswerNeeded What do you think? ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__

debian repository on pure-data.org
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I would like to create a debian repository on pure-data.org so that I can compile the .debs from CVS and stick them there for people to use. This would be a place to beta-test before they go into Debian proper, plus it would make life easier for those of us who need to use new code from CVS on Debian. Once we get a Makefile to create RPMs, we could create an apt-rpm repository too. Any ideas or objections? .hc http://at.or.at/hans/
