		Hi Peter,

		I read some of your comments on the logo shortlist page. Is it out of place to respond and motivate why things are done the way they are?

		Thanks,

	I think we can get variables in the text so we can talk about real numbers in real time i.e. registered users, projects hosted in Garage, applications in Downloads...--[[User:qgil\|qgil]] 21:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Considerations on wording

	~~== Considerations on wording ==~~

	~~I did some changes on wording but I left these for discussion, just in case.~~

	~~There are a couple of terms in these pages that look a bit unusual in open source projects:~~
	* ''Consumers'' --> Users
	* ''Innovate'', ''Innovation'' --> Develop, Development.

	~~Also, this sounds a bit too overoptimistic:~~
	* "over 12.000 registered members that contribute to more than 600 development projects" --> "over 12.000 contributors and more than 600 development projects".
	~~--[[User:qgil\|qgil]] 21:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)~~

	~~:: I changed "consumers" to "users/people/persons" in many places. I left consumers in some places where the sentence would turn into "...users use...".~~
	~~:: I changed to "innovation" in some places to "development work".~~
	:: Quim, I'm not sure what you mean by rephrasing "12.000 registered members" to "12.000 contributors". Is it safer to claim that we have members versus contributors? I'm sure not every member is a contributor, or? --[[User:peterschneider\|peterschneider]] 05:03, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
	::: I'm not sure myself and probably is not that important. :) "Member" sounds stronger to me since it calls to rights, duties and a sense of belonging to an organization. "Contributor" means that contributes something, which is a more flexible definition. People would register to maemo.org to file or comment on a bug, rate a news or an app, be part of a garage project, edit a wiki page... --[[User:qgil\|qgil]] 06:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Purpose?

← Older revision		Revision as of 09:32, 30 July 2008

	~~== Purpose? ==~~

	~~Is this a proposal for a maemo.org frontpage, a wiki frontpage or a front-page for a hypothetical maemo.com?~~

	Or is this an "About Maemo" page? If this is intended for the frontpage of any website, I'm afraid it's way too text heavy for any form of introduction; and the only graphic seems to feature a whole load of projects that most people (and, probably, many developers) won't have heard of. If you've never done multimedia development on GNOME, will you have any real clue what GStreamer is and why it's a good thing? --[[User:jaffa\|Jaffa]] 20:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
	~~:See "PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW INTRO PAGE" at the beginning. :) This is one of the tasks commited for the current maemo.org sprint.--[[User:qgil\|qgil]] 21:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)~~
	::"INTRO PAGE" is a little vague though. To me, as an experienced web site developer, it means one of two things: 1) a page called "Introduction to maemo.org" for which it's a good starting point, but possibly a little technically focused on a first glance; or 2) what the text "Welcome to maemo.org" suggests - an equivalent of index.html: the front-page, the first-thing someone sees before anything else. Which is it? I'm obviously a bit out of the loop on the aims of the current maemo.org task having been on holiday, so'll scoot over there and try and catch up. --[[User:jaffa\|Jaffa]] 21:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
	~~:::Peter is working on the renewal of http://maemo.org/intro/ --[[User:qgil\|qgil]] 22:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)~~

	:::: Good comment. This page is not the first page a reader sees and, therefore, I changed the title to "Overview of maemo.org - The Home of the Maemo Community" --[[User:peterschneider\|peterschneider]] 04:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
	:::: I agree that I would rather have less text but I'm struggling with being more visual and yet descriptive. Communities and projects have very few visual clues. I'm wide open for suggestions. What I can do is add some explanations to terms such as "GStreamer - multimedia framework".

Image quality

	~~== Image quality ==~~
	It seems a lot of the images are rather heavily compressed jpegs, which impacts the readability of their content and generally gives an amateurish feel to the introduction pages. Moving to a better compression type for these infographics would help a lot. Perhaps png or even gif ([[:Image:MaemoArchitecture.jpg]] is a good candidate for gif) would help improve readability. Also, captions for the images really shouldn't be included in the images themselves, as it impacts readability for most people and especially for people using screen readers. —[[User:generalantilles\|GeneralAntilles]] 12:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
