Brett, at first, thanks for the encouragement
and for the contribution. I will comment as I go through the mail.

It is not a problem in both ways, you are fine with this method.Good day Elena, Just a few more ideas to add to the mix, and sort of build on what Sri suggested. I attached a GIMP-edited version of your original image (should I instead be posting a link to an online site for this? Not sure of the protocol for the mailing list, if I should please let me know). You really did some very useful changes. thanks !As I am new, I am trying to get a feel for the purpose of the page, so I did a bit of cut & paste to try and group things together or make things flow a bit. I put Search up at the top right so it is above the fold by default, for new and more experienced users, and I suggested moving the User Login part a bit lower in the hierarchy (since someone with a login would be familiar with the page). We will talk about this on the mailing list and I will (in the mean time) take care of implementing them in a design.I thought it was okay to have Join GNOME at the top (not sure where the link goes - to another page with all of them listed, or to the bottom of the page where they are spread out?) as well as at the bottom, as it would seem logical we want people to join the various projects. Or, we could try to have only one link to each topic, to simplify things for both users and coders (just something I picked up in my studies of UI/UX, I believe there are 6 or 7 ways to print a document in Microsoft Word, for instance, via shortcut keys, icons etc., some of them do the same thing, and some of them do not work exactly the same way). I will certainly try it.You could experiment with that spread out list of links to the different Teams, perhaps with justified/non-justified arrangement of the text, alphabetical ordering maybe, or perhaps some kind of logical arrangement based on what is most important to the project as a whole (though I think they are all important - hence the suggestion for alphabetical ordering). It was very helpful Brett, thanks again !Anyway, just some suggestions of course and apologies for hacking your image apart (!) my GIMP-fu is still not as strong as it could be, so the boxes in my edited copy do not always line up the way they could or might. Hope it helps in any case - keep up the good work - Brett Elena |
