Bug and content requests

Text & Content

strikeouts are now fixed

• Spread the Word.... is there a reason why Facebook and Twitter links shouldn't be here too?
  • [JN] Totally, started a page here: http://one.laptop.org/content/social-media. Please add to it (with maybe some info on how users can interact w/ each). Once it's in a good place you can add it to the nodequeue for take-action/spread-the-word
• 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.
• 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
• A new page on the Association (org and board)
  • A subpage on support offered to countries (review by Bob)
  • A subpage on the Internships (text from Leah)
• A new page on our education and learning focus (practical examples of claudia/barbara's work)
• [LF] Updated Timeline from the old site
• Updated Media page including more from media.laptop.org

Dashboard

• Include a link to /admin .

  If anyone can use parts of the dashboard without logging in, we should make a link to it appear in the overall sitenav

• Rather than allowing auto-publishing for any feeds (this has caused trouble so far), perhaps we could have two views of 'news to review' - one for 'preferred news feeds' and the other for 'google alerts / all feeds'.

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

• 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.

content admin

• [JN]: Fix this so it works for publish, delete, edit, etc.
• Content Admin Accounts for all OLPCers
• [LF]: Footer link to Dashboard
• [JN]: Link to site manual from Dashboard
• [JN]: Move readme to Drupal page

section "summary"

• Prevent duplicates from being submitted
• autopublish/two different views for approving news -- one for approving news from people like; and one for everything else (googge news alerts, etc).
  • [LF] both require approval, but they should be filterable
• Bulk delete
• Everything is currently listed as "OLPC Blog" (it shouldn't be).

section "news"

• This should be called blog not news

  Agreed that the title is awkward, but blog conflicts with our Wordpress-powered blog. We should resolve this before renaming, IMHO. LFaraone 23:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

• We should draw in the tag cloud from the source page.
• Does not correctly copy over the author of the post

• [LF] spam control
• [LF] recent comments
• [LF] rss feeds for recent posts, tags, etc
• [JN] investigate published/unpublish bug

section "stories"

• [JN]Link to country details page should be placed above the back to stories link
• [JN] Add additional spacing between "hide caption" and "next photo". We want NP to pop more at the user than HC, since hiding is a rarer action.
• [JN] We need a sort of "progress bar" to say which photo we are on (perhaps placed right next to the title) ... use dots to indicate which picture you are on in the series.
• [JN] Scroll (only works 100% on chrome on mac)
• Make it possible to share photos b/t stories and country-detail pages
• Offer an "add story" button?

section "map"

• Make sure images are editable
• Wrap long country names, these currently get cut off!
• Offer a page showing all country-detail pages (with a gallery of thumbnails?), perhaps linked from the map
• Adding new images make it possible to browse/reuse your image library
  • e.g., make it possible to reuse images from stories from that country

Section: 'Community'

• [JN]When submitting link, optionally create user account
• Create holding page for links so we can avoid 'save' bug
  • make it possible to go back and edit link info you have submitted (should be owned by your acct)

• signin process: something closer to kickstarter.com than drupal.org/login ?

Getting Started

http://laptop.org/en/laptop/start/

using activities

• The 2nd row, 4th column icon is for Paint, not Measure, which the link points to.
• The 3rd row, 3rd column icon is for Paint, points to the activity under an old name, Draw.
• The 3rd row, 1st column icon is for Write, but points to a line between Distance and Calculate, not to Write, which is after Pippy on the page.

• [LF] move this to a drupal + php thing

Overall Functionality

• 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)

Other features needed

FROM PENTAGRAM

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?
