Hi Brynn,
Here is new Contribute:
http://staging.inkscape.org/en/brynns-contribute/?edit_off, and
- - I compared it to the current contribute page on live - and I must admit, that I like the one on live more, because it more directly talks to the user and sounds more inclusive... But I guess it would be good to move the long texts about development into the development section - they are nice, and it's good that you kept them ;)
The plugin links in Contribute on live are already ready, you won't have to change much, only selectively copy some text over / remove some text. I thought that page had already been finished... as you had already added the new links to the extensions texts in the wiki and such on Jan. 12th...
- - "Review and Verify Existing Bug Reports" (and the link in the text) should link to 'Bug Management' in the Dev section, not to 'Report Bugs'.
- - The 'Translations' section title should link to the translations page.
Here is new Develop: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/brynnsdev/?edit_off.
- - The first sentence 'Working on Inkscape's code base requires knowlege of C++ and Gtk development.' could maybe better be placed inside the next sentence ('If you're a coder/programmer and have some knowlege of C++ and / or Gtk development...") - this sounds less technical and friendlier for a first sentence ;)
- - Would it make sense to order the sections on that page by difficulty? - - from easy to hard: Documentation (would also fit well into 'Contribute', I think, as no coding or knowledge of internal program structure is needed) -> Bug Management -> Extensions -> Core ; Packaging is somehow 'extra'.
- - It's nice that you enlarged the font size and added indentation for better readability, but currently this will make things look inconsistent on live - we'll better do that in the site's css generally for all pages, than have some pages with larger and some with smaller font and some with and some without indentation.
Here's my plan: -- transfer the content, from staging to live pages
- - You won't need to copy the pages over as you usually do, copy-pasting the html source. Better copy the sentences you want to add over from the 'real' page, and then remove what you want to be removed, to keep the plugin links that are already there and to keep the current styling.
-- fix all the links
- - not all, fortunately ;)
-- publish -- move Bug Management sub-menu item to the bottom
- - Sounds good ;)
