Ian, I can help with some documentation and
translation things, and I am also equipped to contribute with regard to art and
drawing. I cannot do programming, although this is terribly interesting to me.
As to writing (documentation): I am a Sr Member of the Society for Technical
Communication.
As to the translation: I know Chinese, German and
Spanish. I usually just do translation FROM one of these languages INTO English,
because English is my native language. But I can also do some pre-translation
things with regard to copy that the project would need translations INTO
Chinese, German, and Spanish for. I'd be happy to work with native speakers who
would finish the pretranslated things.

hello,
It's been a good long while since I've emailed the mailing list I am a
part of the server management involving inkscape and have been for
approximately 4+ years. I am writing you today for 2 reasons.
- Our current site is terrible, I'm sorry but there is no chance of just
brushing over it. I know there have been a fair number of people in the
past 2 years who have submitted website mockup ideas and we've had
contests but no one has ever followed through. Which I'll take partial
blame for it. Things are just scattered every which way
- I wanted to update you on the status of the Test suite, Osuosl is
currently in the process of setting up the ability to run test suites so
that we can test the SVG building more efficiently. So stay tuned for
more info on this in the near future.
Anyway back to problem 1.
Here's how I think we can best solve this problem. We're going to break the
website into different categories and duties.
- UI (mockups) (*ARTIST*/PROGRAMMERS*)
- Ability to make mockups of how you think the website should
look.
- After we pick yours we will request to see the top couple in
HTML/CSS
- Artwork for the website (*ARTIST*)
- Ability to develop / sharpen logos as well as various buttons etc as
needed
- Drupal Modules (*PROGRAMMERS*)
- Knowledge of Mysql/PHP/JS and HTML
- Knowledge or ability to learn how drupal works
- Documentation (*WRITERS*)
- Skills
- Moderate knowledge and ability to update and port existing content
over to the new site.
- Translation
- We need people who specialize in various languages to port content
once completed into the various languages.
So what's wrong
with the current design? a lot, it's way too cluttered and disorganized not
to mention you click wiki you go to a whole different navigation and sub
site. That is just a pain to deal with as a user. So if you have skills in 1
of the above 5 categories, please contact me or the list directly and we'll
assemble the a team and get this going! let me know what you think....
Thanks,
Ian "Inc" C.
P.S we've also started on a site map located here
