Hey guys, I toyed around with the Wiki today to deuglify it a little bit. I used a theme which is a bit of a "CMS" theme for MoinMoin and played around with the logo colors. The theme is based on the plsavez theme, which I like as it has a very uncluttered interface for people who aren't logged in - they only see some important interwiki links (FrontPage, RecentChanges and so on), while all the other stuff is hidden from them. That changes as soon as you log into the wiki - then everything needed is there again. The "Current Events" table has its own css style, so we should be able to move it around or do other stuff with it. At the moment the style is only used for the background colour. The result is, errm, a bit colorful at the moment, but that can be changed :) Your opinions and critique please: <http://wiki-m.centos.org/>.

Currently, it is taking up more screen estate than it needs... Akemi

But green color links over green-color background is very hard to read. But I think that we have two issues for check: 1.- Design (artwork, iconos, etc) 2.- Structure/Content About design, I like it this one very simple: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Main_Page In the near future we will need contact designers :-) About content, rigth now I think there is too much in the main page. I prefer something more light and easy to read (but this is my personal view). From this proposal: http://wiki.centos.org/FrontPageProposal I'm agree in general. I don't understand why "Promote" is other link out of "Contribute" (maybe is my spanish mother language ;-) It will be nice have something like GoogleAnalytics o other "statistic tool" to see what wiki sections are the most used by the visitors. -- Hardy Beltran Monasterios

But: - I do not like the colors all that much, I prefer something more sober and professional - I like the font and size - I do not like the globe for external links - I prefer to have titles either in bold or underline, currently I find it hard to see what actually is a title - I would go for normal (default) colors for links (and underline them) - I do think a menu/sidebar that follows some structure of the site is important, also to house some other info like events and blog posts If you visit without being logged in: - I would remove the Tabs (RecentChanges, FindPage, SiteNavigation, HelpContents) - I am not a proponent for showing 'MoinMoin powered, Python powered, Valid HTML 4.01' on every webpage. The wiki is not for geeks. There is little value in showing it on every page. I couldn't log on to test. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
