FROM PENTAGRAM
- Font
- About: Overview page?
- About: OLPC will deliver combo intro video
- Color style guide
Alignment
- How do we align the top of the nav / video / text for the 'about' main page?
- How do we align different rounded boxes on the 'about' pages?
- Should the nav at the bottom be identical to the top, but left-aligned? right-aligned?
- Where should the right/left margin of the "Stories" page be (at the smallest, now that the page expands/shrinks to match screen width)?
Open issues
General browser compat
Currently only works perfectly on certain Mac browsers.
Major known issues on
- Chrome on Linux (occasionally)
- Firefox on Linux (most pages)
- IE on Wine on Linux (comic relief)
Some issues on FF on Windows
In Firefox 3.6 on Windows and Ubuntu, the left-handed bar obscures the footer, and you can't scroll down far enough to see it. See [1] for a screenshot of the problem.

Photos
- All 40 photos in 15 story-clusters needed from Mike Massey
- Better navigation among photos needed.
- Clearer connections between photos in a series
- Navigation among photos in a series and between series
- Clear arrows pointing to updates
Map
- Better text needed at the zoom level.
- Coloring pixels in when you mouseover a country at the top level can stop before completing (leaving a checkered appearance)
Other Issues
Different lozenge sizes for the sort dropdowns
We want to drop all text to the left of sort dropdowns, and have the lozenges left-aligned
The community page needs some color
The take action page needs to unify on one size for fonts and numbers, perhaps a second one for headings, and just one lozenge size.
Padding on the 'about' page needs to be the same for left-nav and bottom-nav
Future ideas
- Global search needed -- maybe a canonical white lozenge in the upper-right
at the level of the sort dropdowns
- Review the community page -- with a link to activities among other things
- Review the style and structure of the 'About' section; make initial landing page denser (deep links to wiki:Support, wiki:MainPage, the blog)
- Consider layout style for long pages: people, stories (once there are 30), &c. Can we keep the whole site to singl-screen layouts on desktops? consider in-page scrolling as on Take Action.
Todo
- Get 310px square photos for people
- Get 50 initial links for community
- Begin url redirection process
- Blog rss feeds! to start
- Define the list of media for the media page.
- Update the timeline
- Add a calendar?
