Please list any website issues found with our test site.

Questions for Pentagram

  • How to handle news/blog split?
  • Do we need an overview page for the 'about' section? Right now we drop people straight into the mission section

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

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?
