good day, writers. while doing some mockups of docs look for fsn.org.yu at http://www.gnome-ppp.org/fsn/template.html, i thought about doing some work for fedora community. what i want is to `upgrade the look` of fedora docs? should i try do something pretty (like novell with novell linux desktop will have) or is it a no-no? to do some mockups so you can see what i'm talking about?
Yes, mockups would be good to see. I like some of the ideas I see on that page, such as a terminal icon for <screen> blocks.
I haven't thought about licensing artwork. I guess you can just contribute it under the FDL?
The icons used are from Fedora itself and GPL'd; I think a notice to that effect in the &LEGALNOTICE; would take care of this part. I personally don't like all the different color bars, but I think the terminal icon is cute. I also think that in the service of consistency, we should try and limit artwork to that already available in Fedora -- or, at worst, request that Garrett or one of his trusty cohort produce something consistent for us.
Keep in mind also the a11y factors. The current HTML rendering provides full functionality for text-based browsers, text-to-speech engines, and so forth, with a minimum of effort. Certainly the transformations could be done to take care of this -- at least to provide <img alt=""> tags and such, but we'd have to look at the possible impact on visually impaired users, etc.
I don't doubt that there's ways around any impediments, but it's not a project I'm personally interested in. Then again, that's the great thing about having a community; someone else likely is! :-) It's early and I haven't had my coffee, so I hope this makes some sense.
