Bug and content requests

Text

mostly fixed

• Typo in story about gaza and ramallah... "others schools" should be "other schools."
• Can we use a word like "Videos" instead of the misspelled and inaccurate "Commericals" ? At: http://one.laptop.org/action/spread#/commericals
• http://one.laptop.org/map links to Italy/Malaysia etc incorrect. Working wiki links would be better and/or yet vivid sites like: http://olpcMAP.net?go=mongolia

Taxonomies

• Community section needs a category for volunteers.
• There are other school partnerships such as UCSB:Zambia. Will these be added at the Mapping event?
• Country websites could include Mochilla Digital (Mexico)

Design

• Spread the Word.... is there a reason why Facebook and Twitter links shouldn't be here too?
• Translate... it might be nice to have an intermediate page explaining the translation process and how Pootle works that would then link on to the Sugar Labs page.
• I tried the subscribe to newsletter feature. 30 minutes later and no confirmation yet. Will update when it comes. (ratepoint doesn't send confirmations; to fix via their interface)
• Popup Menus like "- all locations -" unreadable (they flow off the top of the screen) @ http://one.laptop.org/community
• The Map webpage (http://one.laptop.org/map) shows varying results after each reload, usually after 2 reloads you will see only one location (Iran) on the map.

• ..

Other features needed

• .ico icons for nwes
• processing of flickr / youtube / dailymotion feeds (both alerts? based on search result and popularity? and our groups) --> blog posts

• different design for XO browsers, IE (corners)
• Paypal integration with donor feed (ask)

FROM PENTAGRAM

• 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?
