Hi everybody,
Using Lee's site structure wireframe mockup, I put together another
iteration of the WGO look & feel mockup:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/LooknFeel
Below I'm going to highlight some issues and bring up some questions to
hopefully continue the discussion flowing! :) -
* I included the Planet GNOME module thingy we've been talking about,
which doesn't include any subject lines or blog post text as we
discussed. What do you think about how this is shaping up visually? Do
you think it adds value to the front page without divulging blog post
subject lines or content? Does it serve as a good 'advertisement' or
upsell of planet.gnome.org?
(Is this even what we're looking to do? Revisiting a post from Jeff [1],
should we be focusing more on feeds from various community websites than
focusing exclusively on personal feeds from PGO?)
* Currently on WGO, we have a separate News column and a separate events
column. Do we want to consolidate news & events into one feed? Or just
have news in that column in the center, and advertise events via the
events banner on the right?
* I've been following the Tango palette for all the little filler
banners and everything else, and I think it works well so I'm going to
set that as a WGO look & feel guideline I think.
* What do you think about the overall look of the little icons?
(newspaper, globe with chat bubbles, mini chatbubble icons, globe icons)
Do they fit an overall style we wouldn't be opposed to running with?
* With the structure wireframe fleshed out a bit, is there a need to
revisit some of the layout decisions that have been made now you can see
what it'd look like with filler content?
* Panos, you had mentioned [2] not quite liking the design of the top
bars - if you have some spare time to sketch out any ideas you have, I'd
love to incorporate them! :)
