Hi all,
So I make the suggestion — :). The English page for the Hackfest 2016 was unpublished
- That's weird, my update scanner never had a problem accessing the page, and the page's history doesn't say anything about unpublishing. I hope you didn't find yet another bug... :/
If something like that happens again, please notify the admins, so we can try to find out what's going on. The page wasn't supposed to be inaccessible.
, I re-published
- Thanks!!!
it without worrying much mainly for these reasons:
- the page was still accessible in other languages;
- that was a dead link in the English navigation menu;
- This is worrying me. What happened when you clicked on it? The standard page telling you that it can't be found?
As Maren suggests below, this page should be moved out from the menu (I never did such an act on the Inkscape website, I don't even know if I have the rights to do it),
- I think you should have the permissions (if it doesn't work, just ping Martin or me to get them).
Go to the 'pages' page in the admin interface, and make sure the page is as wide as possible (hope you're using a 16:9 screen, on mine it's really difficult. It doesn't seem to work correctly if I just zoom out - the request for a scrollbar is already reported...). Then click on the check icon in the 'Menu' column near the end to turn it into a 'no entry' sign.
and we may publish a general page about the
hackfest instead which would remain permanently accessible. So first, someone should do the move.
- I think it's better to have the replacement ready first. It doesn't need to be on the menu while it's being created, or even be published.
Then, would you like the general page to come alive? I think that would be a nice thing, as pages from the menu are semantically meant to be quite static — so we could let a page and add updated information when needed with links to news articles. Also, donations for the hackfest seem to remain possible along the year.
- That's how I understood it. I hope someone else can confirm?
Consequently, we would need someone to write that page.
- Would you like to have a go, Sylvain? Our native speakers (and I, as good as I can) will surely help with proofreading, so you wouldn't need to worry about any 'wrong' phrasing. You could duplicate the current page and take it as a template.
I also think an all-year-round hackfest donation page would be nice :)
What do the others think?
Kind Regards, Maren
