The wiki pages are still going to look the way the
wiki pages look now. Projects don't control the wiki look and feel.
We could add a Higgins boarder to the top of the webpages, and we would probably
want to put the Eclipse logo in a corner (like the Apache
feather.)
Since the wiki skin isn't going to change, we need to
make sure that the webpages still work with the wiki as we change the web
pages. From: higgins-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:higgins-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Carroll Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 12:11 PM To: Higgins (Trust Framework) Project developer discussions Subject: RE: [higgins-dev] Website improvements I like it!
I assume we could add
our own higgins branded border at the top? Also would this apply only to the web
pages, with the wiki pages still having the standard Eclipse top
border?

the biggest complaints we get about the Higgins website is that people "get
lost". It has been way too easy for someone to click on
a link that takes them somewhere outside the Higgins project and
then not be able to find their way back. The new ability to have
wiki navigation links match the project website navigation links is a big
help. The other way people get lost is that they click on the tabs at the
top of the page. These tabs look very inviting, and end up confusing
people. It has strongly been suggested that Higgins adopt a more Apache
like approach to their web pages.
For
example, here is a sample Higgins home page without the top banner http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ver2/
There is still a
link at the bottom of the page to take you to the Eclipse Home page, if you
want.
Does anyone object
to removing the top banner as part of the Higgins website improvement
project? (Yes, there are other things we would do to rebalance the screen
when we make this change. I'm just asking about this element as it has a big
impact.) |
