bergiehi, all15:00
-!- bergie changed the topic of #maemo-meeting to: discussing maemo.org redesign: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Implement_new_maemo.org_layout_and_style15:00
X-FadeSo, time to start?15:04
dnearyHi15:05
dnearyYes!15:05
dnearyHi glaubertsouza15:05
dnearyI think everyone's in15:05
glaubertsouzaHi Dave15:05
dnearyTim is not here this week15:05
glaubertsouzaHi everyone15:05
dnearySo - glaubertsouza, do you want to go first? How have you fared on your various tasks?15:06
dnearyFirst: have you changed from digest to normal delivery for maemo-community?15:06
glaubertsouzaI`ve posted Icons already15:06
glaubertsouzahttp://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving_maemo.org/Graphics#New_Icons15:07
bergieglaubertsouza: would it be possible to get these to maemo2midgard SVN directly too?15:08
bergie...to https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/midgard-data/style/maemo2009/static/img/?root=maemo2midgard15:08
glaubertsouzaIs that it easy15:10
glaubertsouza?15:10
dnearybergie: Any of us can commit them to svn (except glaubertsouza)15:10
X-FadeWe also need icons for Maemo[3-5]15:10
bergieyeah, I just committed the stars :-)15:11
X-FadeAnd an icon for No .install available..15:11
dnearyDo we need the icons to have the background included, or are transparent pngs OK?15:11
dnearyX-Fade: What is the old icon for no .install?15:12
glaubertsouzaTHey are all transparent pngs15:12
dnearyI didn't list that as one to do (didn't see it on the site)15:12
X-Fadedneary: I'll look it up.15:12
glaubertsouzaI Think its a proposal15:12
dnearyglaubertsouza: Yeah - that's good. I was just asking Niels & Henri if they need to add the background for the site15:13
glaubertsouzaI think While implementation naturaly we`ll need more Icons15:13
X-Fadedneary: http://static.maemo.org/style_maemo2007/no_install_button_small.png15:13
X-Fadedneary: In use here: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/boafm/15:14
glaubertsouzaI didnt see this missing install icon15:14
glaubertsouzabut this one is not that hard...15:14
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: Yeah, I'm sure we dream up more ;)15:15
bergiethen there are some sections that still need to be designed15:15
bergiethough some we can probably "generate" from the designs we already have15:15
X-FadeThe profile widget doesn't contain karma btw?15:15
dnearyX-Fade: OK, thanks15:16
dnearyX-Fade: Did you see my "proposal" for the profile widget?15:17
dnearys/widget/template15:17
glaubertsouzaI think Dave has told me about karma in profile widget. But what will itt be used for.?15:17
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: Can you also create the 'Get involved' and 'Get help' icons for the frontpage from http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:HOME_8.png15:17
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: To show how cool a person is, naturally ;)15:17
X-FadeTo be serious, it can show that the person whom is speaking has credibility or not..15:18
glaubertsouzaok15:19
bergieIMO karma could even be in the small person widgets we use in news items etc15:19
X-FadeIn forums they show post count to reflect this for instance, we can do that with karma.15:20
glaubertsouzaand how does someone increase his Karma.?15:20
dnearybergie: I agree15:20
bergieglaubertsouza: by various on-site activities... blogging, commenting, editing wiki etc15:20
X-FadeBlogging, filing bugs, editing wiki, creating apps, posting to lists etc.15:20
glaubertsouzaThere is no much in mine!15:21
glaubertsouza:)15:21
glaubertsouzaok15:21
bergieglaubertsouza: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/midgard_and_the_law_of_karma/15:21
dnearyglaubertsouza: The profile widget will be used everywhere a person's name can appear on the site15:21
dnearyThe small one will be used in comments, the profile list maybe, blog entries, that kind of thing 15:22
glaubertsouzaok thanks bergie!15:22
bergieand as said, we need at least three different profile widgets (profile page, "big widget" for planet and "inline widget" for other places)15:22
dnearyThe big one will be used in application pages for the author, maybe, on the profile page, and anywhere we have people featured15:22
dnearyglaubertsouza: So - just to run through youor TODO from last week and get a one-word status:15:24
dnearyIcons: DONE?15:24
dnearyPerson & application templates: In progress15:24
dnearyProfile page: Still TODO15:24
dnearyIs that right?15:24
X-Fadeprofile: http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:Profile_page.png ?15:25
glaubertsouzaalmost, there is no install TODO15:25
bergiedneary: then there are the sections that don't have designs at all, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Implement_new_maemo.org_layout_and_style#Subsections15:25
glaubertsouzaProfile page I`ll update15:25
glaubertsouzaI do have a question.15:27
dnearybergie: Do you really need a design for the login page?15:28
dnearyNews has a proposal15:28
dnearyPlanet has a proposal15:28
dnearyThe profile list probably doesn't need a specific design15:29
dnearyThe event calendar... is the same as a News page, no?15:29
X-FadeWe forgot to add the discussion forum, but that is lower priority.15:29
glaubertsouzathis link : http://newstyle.maemo.org/ , does the section titles will be orange.?15:29
glaubertsouzaor does it will follow the design sheet we proposed.?15:30
dnearybergie: Do you disagree?15:30
dnearyI'll let X-Fade answer your question, glaubertsouza15:30
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: Has only been implemented for 50% yet..15:30
X-FadeHaven't touched fonts headings yet.15:31
glaubertsouzaOk15:31
bergiedneary: we can "invent" missing designs if needed15:31
X-FadeStill need to add the styled <hr> too. (Missing icon btw) :)15:31
bergiebut at least I am not an artist ;-)15:31
dnearybergie: I don't think there's any invention needed, when the pages are semantically the same as existing ones15:32
dnearyglaubertsouza: You did a proposal for maemo.org/news, didn't you?15:32
glaubertsouzaYes15:32
dnearyglaubertsouza: There's a small problem with your design work - when you upload files, you don't link to them, so it's hard to find them again later15:33
dnearyIt would be nice if you could create a link either in Task:Improving_maemo.org or in Task:Implement_new_maemo.org_layout_and_style15:33
glaubertsouzaI think the current PSD You have is enough for the general layout15:33
dnearywhich one?15:34
bergieah, that is other thing... where are the PSDs at the moment?15:34
dneary(note: I don't have Photoshop)15:34
glaubertsouzabut in some cases like download rating and specifically  graphics that we dont have in any of them we can create from zero!15:34
glaubertsouzaBut if a new page will really differ from the current styles like happened in the profile page I would create it15:38
X-FadeFair enough.15:39
glaubertsouzaAndre cunha has sent all the PSD`s we got15:39
dnearyglaubertsouza: Where?15:40
dnearyI don't recall receiving any15:40
dnearyBut then again, I don't have Photoshop...15:40
bergiedneary: GIMP can usually open them I think15:41
dnearyUsually15:41
bergiebut in any case, we have some photoshop licenses for the people who chop them up to XHTML15:41
dnearyBut the psd plug-in in the GIMP hasn't been updated since PS 515:41
glaubertsouzawich is the best way to send you the PSD`s They are a kind of heavy15:41
bergiebut Neithan was asking about it as he says he doesn't have all PSDs15:42
dnearyglaubertsouza: Upload them to the wiki, I guess15:42
bergieglaubertsouza: I'd really appreciate having them in wiki or SVN15:42
bergieemails get lost15:42
dnearyYes, SVN is probably best15:42
glaubertsouzaYes I`m a prove of that15:42
glaubertsouzaOk. I think I can upload all them in the wiki. Does the wiki support files with 50 Megas?15:44
dnearySend it to me by email, I'll commit to SVN15:44
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: Svn is better.15:44
dnearyOk - on to Niels & bergie15:44
X-FadeOr send them to dave ;)15:44
bergieX-Fade: did you update your part of that wiki page15:45
X-FadeI play the 'I was on holiday' card ;)15:45
X-Fadebergie: yep.15:45
glaubertsouzaI`ll send to dave15:45
dnearyI'm sorry guys, but I really have no idea how far or close we are from being finished15:45
bergiein any case... Neithan spent some time this week redoing the XHTML+CSS to resolve some issues15:45
bergiedneary: this should tell the situation quite clearly: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Implement_new_maemo.org_layout_and_style#Subsections15:45
dnearyThe page with design, html, template is useful, but it's not 100% of the story15:45
X-Fadedneary: What do you feel is missing?15:46
dnearyDoes that page list subsections in the order you'll be doing them?15:47
bergiedneary: no, it just lists subsections15:47
bergiethough standard page was kind of requirement for everything else15:47
dnearyFor example, for the front page, how long will you need to finish the XHTML/CSS?15:48
X-FadeI've been working on the normal page, which is now mostly done. (Some missing cons etc.'15:48
dnearyWhat do you need to do?15:48
X-Fadedneary: I need all graphical elements.15:48
dnearyIs it "just" getting the CSS right, or is there Midgard work needed?15:48
X-FadeAfter that we can change the template. Copy things from downloads and social news and it is done..15:48
dnearyI can't tell if this is nearly done, or if there's 2 weeks of work left15:48
dnearyDo you see what I mean?15:49
X-FadeEach part is no more than one day, but many things depend on other parts..15:49
X-FadeFor instance. The downloads overlay for HOT is done, but we need to regenerate all screenshots to have it visible15:49
X-FadeSame for news section on front page. Once bergie has implemented social news, it will be done for the frontpage too.15:50
bergiewell, actually social news template for social news, and for frontpage are different templates15:50
X-Fadebergie: Yeah, but html+css is about the same.15:51
bergienot really, compare http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:HOME_8.png and http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:Planet_Maemo.png15:51
X-FadeFor the frontpage we need to implement the new user applet btw.15:52
dnearyIs it possible to overlay without redoing the screenshots?15:53
X-Fadebergie: Hmm ok, but that design is a bit superceded by the profile applet example for the comment?15:53
bergie...which is a new dynamic_load for n.n.accounts15:53
dnearyPerhaps I'm talking nonesense15:53
X-Fadedneary: No, screenshots are too small. (thumbnails)15:53
X-FadeOr too big..15:53
dnearyWhat's the difference between news & social news?15:53
bergiedneary: they use different components so they have different templates. But I think this time the templates can produce same HTML15:54
bergieon old site they looked (at least initially) quite different15:54
X-FadeHmm can't find glaubert's comment example with the user widget.15:56
X-FadeWould be nice to have it all linked here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving_maemo.org/Graphics15:56
dnearyX-Fade: I think glaubertsouza will be redoing that15:56
dnearyIt should all be linked there - but as I said, Glaubert hasn't been linking to his uploads15:56
bergieyeah, I spent a while hunting URLs from various emails15:57
X-FadeAnyway, we have some designs now to keep us busy this week.15:59
X-FadeIf we can get all icons that are agreed upon in SVN ;)16:00
dnearyWhat designs are missing?16:00
dnearyLet's make sure Glaubert's clear what's expected of him16:00
glaubertsouzaOK I just didnt want to overcrowd with designs wick will get reviews, I did it for icons wich will be truly used16:01
X-Fade- profiles16:01
dnearyOK16:01
dneary- Log-in page?16:01
X-FadeYeah, should be straight forward.16:02
dneary- Person templates16:02
dneary- Application templates16:02
X-FadeYep.16:04
X-FadeAnd the missing icons we need.16:04
dnearySo - missing icons = missing .install, what else?16:05
X-FadeFront page buttons.16:05
X-Fadestyled <HR>16:05
dnearyFront page buttons?16:06
X-Fade15:17 < X-Fade> glaubertsouza: Can you also create the 'Get involved' and 'Get help' icons for the frontpage from http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:HOME_8.png16:07
dnearyHm. Don't know how to add the old HR to the Graphics page :)16:08
dnearyOK16:08
dnearyThis has a HR in there: http://wiki.maemo.org/images/4/44/HOME_8.png16:08
X-FadeIt is visible in on the HOME_8.png design, so I guess it is just cut/paste.16:09
dnearySo - X-Fade, bergie: where do you guys expect to be in your TODO list this time next week?16:09
bergiedneary: now that the standard page is (again) fixed and we have more designs, quite a bit further16:09
bergieI added dates to some of the sections already16:10
X-FadeI will work on the front page and downloads..16:10
X-Fademinus the news and people part on the front page. As that needs depends on other things.16:11
bergieyep16:12
bergiewe'll work on news/planet and probably profile16:12
dnearyOK16:12
dnearySo can we expect a decent looking front page and news page by next week?16:13
bergieyes, I think so16:13
bergieand maybe profile16:13
dnearyPresumably profiles will have to wait until Glaubert has finished his design work16:13
bergieand I guess downloads too16:13
X-Fadedneary: If you don't find other jobs for me this week, sure ;)16:13
bergie...depending on X-Fade16:13
dnearyhehe16:15
dnearyI will need to be working on revising the election app for the new counting system before the election starts this week16:15
dnearySo we should be OK for a while16:15
dnearySo - let's try to have something really decent to show for ourselves at the end of this sprint - if newstyle can start to look nice, I'll be happy16:16
dnearyAnd you know I can do HTML & CSS stuff too - I just don't understand very well how Midgard's put together16:17
X-FadeBut don't give me everthing on tuesday next week. (graphical elements)16:17
dnearyX-Fade: You have almost everything you need now16:17
dnearyUse the old versions where you don't yet have a new one16:17
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: The idea of the person avatar here is very nice but really not doable: http://wiki.maemo.org/images/f/fc/Icons.png16:20
X-FadeI mean GA's icon. You nicely removed the background of his original pic and added shadow ;)16:21
dnearyOK16:22
dnearyIs everyone clear on what they are doing for the next few days?16:22
X-FadeYep..16:22
dnearyglaubertsouza, bergie?16:22
bergiesure16:23
glaubertsouzaok16:23
dnearyOK16:24
dnearyLet's call it a day16:24
dnearyBy the way, are you all Jabber buddies?16:24
dnearyI don't want to see people stuck because they're waiting for something from someone, who doesn't know about it.16:25
dnearyIf not, glaubertsouza@gmail.com, bergie@nemein.com, nbreet@gmail.com16:26
dnearyAnd of course me, nearyd@gmail.com16:26
dnearyThanks guys!16:27
glaubertsouzathanks16:27
dnearyglaubertsouza: Just before you go16:32
dnearyI don't see any heart icon for the new theme16:33
dnearyYou replaced it with the thumbs up icon, did you?16:33
dnearyAlso, those icons had 3 versions before - on, off, and rollover16:33
dnearyYou've only provided 2 for the moment16:33
glaubertsouzayes16:34
dnearyI noticed when I was trying to put the new icons beside their old equivalents16:34
glaubertsouzaI didnt consiered the rollover state16:35
dnearyI really think that the 3 are necessary16:35
dnearyYou would have noticed, had you been putting the new icons beside the old ones16:36
glaubertsouzaWell I though i would propose it in my design version with no middle rolover buttons16:37
glaubertsouzabut ok I`ll put it in my "TO DO" list16:37
glaubertsouzaI changed the fav icon Heart for the thumb up 16:39
dnearyLooking at the list, there are about a third of the graphics you did that are not needed, and about a third of those we need that aren't done yet16:43
glaubertsouzaok then16:43
dnearyLet me commit this changed page, you'll see16:43
dnearyI think you must have missed an email or two - the trashcan icons aren't really needed, and I had removed them from the list of icons needed16:44
dnearySince they only appear for administrators16:44
dnearyHave a look now16:47
dnearyWe're missing 10 requested graphics16:47
-!- qwerty12_N800 [n=faheem@78-86-35-231.zone2.bethere.co.uk] has quit ["Bye"]16:52
glaubertsouzaand what about delete and not abuse icons, will they be used.?16:54
-!- qwerty12 [n=faheem@78-86-35-231.zone2.bethere.co.uk] has joined #maemo-meeting16:55
dnearyglaubertsouza: Not sure.17:00
dnearyIt saves us work not to replace the ones that are there already17:01
dnearyYou can see the ones that we are missing now quite easily: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving_maemo.org/Graphics17:01
dnearyThmbs down & heart rollover17:01
dnearyList bullets & arrows for news items17:01
dnearyMaemo [345] on & off buttons (like PC on & off)17:02
dnearyAlso, looking at the list now, the ADD NEW APPLICATION icon is a bit aggressive compared to the others, don't you think?17:02
dnearyPerhaps try a slightly smaller font, and not all caps?17:03
glaubertsouzamaybe, but as tim has sad before we start the final version, to keep in mind friendly usage mainly in devices such as N 81017:16
glaubertsouzaso I`ve just tried to slightly bigger buttons for the hole site17:17
glaubertsouzaWhat is this maemo ()3- 517:18
glaubertsouza?17:18
glaubertsouzaAs the Add app button is in the side bar it was suppose to fit horizontally its size17:20
X-Fadeglaubertsouza: Maemo3 Maemo4 and Maemo517:20
X-Fadereplaces OS2007, OS2008 and ....17:21
glaubertsouzaok but what icons do they represents.?17:21
glaubertsouzawill them work as THe actual PC button.?17:22
glaubertsouzaWill they work as the actual PC buttons.?17:22
X-FadeYes.17:22
X-FadeOS selection in downloads.17:23
glaubertsouzaOK17:23
