[Fedora Infrastructure] #1774: Fedora Wiki's stylesheet is screwey on small screen high DPI devices

#1774: Fedora Wiki's stylesheet is screwey on small screen high DPI devices ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: ynemoy | Owner: webmaster Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ = phenomenon = Multiple issues here: Tables go beyond the page but the page isn't told about being wider than the screen, so horizontal scrolling is not possible. Embedded pictures and headers aren't formatted properly so text can flow around it, even in extreme situations. The sidebar takes up too much space at high DPIs leaving only half the page for the body. In the above order: http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0016.jpg http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0018.jpg http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0013.jpg http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0014.jpg http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0015.jpg Resizing the text and page zoom fixes some problems, but my opinion is that this is non obvious to many people. http://ynemoy.fedorapeople.org/wikixofail/IMAG0017.jpg = reason = I'm not much of a CSS guy, but i have a few ideas. First of all, the sidebar is strictly set to a hard size in relation to the rest of the page. Second of all, horizontal scrolling is (and rightly so) disabled at all costs. Third of all, something is not set properly when formatting embedded inline pictures, so that the sidebar can wrap around it, or so that it's left justified instead of right justified so it runs off the page rather than running into the sidebar. = recommendation = Wikipedia has a pretty decent mobile interface that works very nicely on the Android devices, and presumably on others as well. It avoids using a sidebar and TOC by replacing it with expandable fields. I think that at least having that stylesheet available would be a start. The tricky part is detecting the actual dimensions *and* DPI of a screen and switching to the appropriate stylesheet. In this particular example, the screenshots were taken on an XO using mostly stock settings and Firefox. Another and more costly and time consuming solution is to redesign the page more comprehensively so that it is a general purpose page for both mobile, small screen, and normal devices. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1774> Fedora Infrastructure <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure> Fedora Infrastructure Project for Bugs, feature requests and access to our source code.

#5: Adding mirror links to support tab template -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: duffy | Owner: webmaster Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Component: General Version: | Keywords: -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Add 'torrent trouble? download link to download.fedora.redhat.com, using language similar to ticket 3, in the support tab template for all spins. This work should not be done until mmcgrath has set up the spins on download.fedora.redhat.com though, and the links should use the mirror round-robin links. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/5> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

Fedora's wiki
by Mario González T 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Dear webmaster, Thanks to give this chance to talk with you guys, you've been doing a great job. I'm writing you because I was wondering if the fedora's wiki theme is released in somewhere. We have been dealing with mediawiki and my boss was delighted when he saw https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki We would like to know if you could share it with us? Many thanks, Kind regards from Chile. -- http://twitter.com/gonzalemario

[Fedora Infrastructure] #1227: Hosting footer
by fedora-badges 05 Jan '10

#1227: Hosting footer -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mmcgrath | Owner: webmaster Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 11 Component: Webmaster | Version: Production Severity: Normal | Keywords: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- This is something we've talked about many times but it's not quite implemented yet. I'd like to put footers at the bottom of our pages that reference a hosting provider. For an example see: http://us.pycon.org/2009/conference/schedule/event/21/ We can't build it directly into the templates because different places have different hosting. What I'd like to do is have our templates import a js script (or something). Then we can deploy a custom js script to each host that has the relevant information. If you're interested put a proof of concept together on your fedorapeople page. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1227> Fedora Infrastructure <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure> Fedora Infrastructure Project for Bugs, feature requests and access to our source code.

I'm setting up translations for start.fp.o website (https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/537). I've already have start.fp.o on the fedora-web repo configured and working for using genshi so that translations can be setup. Before i commit those changes I want to make sure I have puppet setup accordingly for the new setup.

New sponsor!!
by Mike McGrath 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

We've got a new sponsor, bodhost.com! I've attached their logo, they are awesome for providing us a presence in the UK and canada. Also can we add them to the new site specific sponsors that we've been working on? Should I send requests like this to webmaster(a)fp.o or should I be using the new websites ticketing system? -Mike

Ambassadors versus others with a Fedoraproject wiki
by jcrout＠softhome.net 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hello, I followed a thread that brought me to info about Fedora Ambassadors. Part of my Redhat/Fedora re-acquaintance has me considering an Ambassador role. So I used Google to search the fedoraproject.org site using this search: "Navy site:fedoraproject.org wiki". Then I followed a link that served a wiki page from Sonarguy (Scott Glaser). I also followed links that allegedly allow me to verify an Ambassador and ended up on an obsolete (not maintained) page but is has a link to current Ambassadors. You probably know that recommendations for becoming an Ambassador include finding a mentor. The search I used was intended to help me identify someone with a background that might help me on both ends -- FedoraProject.org, and where I intend to promote Fedora. The trouble is that neither SonarGuy nor Scott Glaser is listed as an Ambassador. He has an email address on the wiki, I realize, but want to first verify him. Especially now, since I can't find either name on the list. Is he an Ambassador? Thank-you for your time. -John
