Redesign of the www.rockbox.org front page

<< < (7/69) > >>

AlexP:
I don't know about technical aspects, but I imagine it would be a great idea to do a mockup first - it would be awful to spend ages coding it to find out that those with the say hate it :)

There are no timelines that I am aware of.

safetydan:
One thing to keep in mind is that the Rockbox page must be accessible to screen-reading software. We have a lot blind users and making the page unusable for them would be bad. I know you can make Flash accessible for blind users, but it's probably easier just to avoid it. Similar issues with the shiny JavaScript libraries like Prototype and Scriptaculous.

If you can make it shiny and accessible then you might be on to something.

Llorean:
Another note: Some of us navigate the page on cellphones and PDAs to check SVN status, get to the IRC logs, or take a look at the build server logs among other things. While the current pages aren't ideal for this, they're fairly lightweight and work (at least for me).

I do think there's a benefit to keeping the pages as lightweight as possible, when possible.

Angyman:
Are we talkin about a redesign of the frontpage or of everything...  Or what dou you mean if you say frontpage??? sorry if i misunderstood something. For PDAs and cellphones there could be easily adressed a specialiced frontpage...

safetydan:
A well designed site should just fallback gracefully regardless of the capabilities of the client. So there should be no need for a special page just for PDAs, etc.
