CoC - moderator & process info

Hello everyone, I made some edits to the Code of Conduct and I'm fairly satisfied with how it looks right now. However, we need some more information on how we would handle violations; in particular, we should have a public e-mail address of something similar that can be used to report problems. Do we have anything we can put there? Who should be contacted in case of problems on IRC, website, mailing list, etc.? Best regards, Krzysztof

Project management interface.
by Tavmjong Bah 07 Oct '15

07 Oct '15

Hi, After spending some time working with the Project editing interface I have a bucket full of comments: 0. I can imagine the amount of work that went into creating the interface. I want to first say I appreciate all the effort! 1. The interface is very slow. It makes it difficult to figure out how the site works. Clicking on one of the project name takes so long to bring up that project's information that one wonders if that was the correct way to do it. If the interface cannot be sped up then at least some instructions should be added to the web page. (e.g. "Click on project name to edit that project's parameters.") 2. SVG's are not allowed for the Banner and Logo!! I've heard that there is some great Libre Graphics program that can produce SVGs that scale better than PNGs on the web... 3. The Logo is required to be 150x150 px but it is displayed at a different resolution leading to blurring. (See #2 for solution.) 4. Can't change "Proposer". The initial projects should have "Inkscape" as the proposer. 5. Can't format the "Project Updates". We should be able to use at least a limited set of HTML tags. 6. "Project Update" is not a good title for the initial project description. We should have "Project Description" (or something similar) followed by a "Project Update" section. 7. What does "Importance" mean. It is not clear what the input should be (text or number), what the numbers mean (low number more important than high number?), and what is the range of acceptable numbers. A drop -down menu might be better here. 8. How are the project fund raising goals set? I didn't see that in the interface. 9. The project summaries on "https://inkscape.org/en/project/" should be customizable and not just first few lines of the "Project Update". 10. It's time to get rid of the tripling of projects on the Projects page. Tav

GList removal and other projects.
by Tavmjong Bah 06 Oct '15

Hi, I've completed reviewing the text for the GList/GSList removal project: https://inkscape.org/en/project/remove-all-use-of-glist-and-gslist/ While I was reviewing the project I added logos and banners for the other projects. I also added a project for SVG spec work. What is the next step in getting these projects live? Tav
