XSF Discussion - 2021-09-18


  1. Zash

    As I'm not a web designer, I'd like to hear comments on https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/964

  2. Sam

    takes up too much space imo, but columns would probably fix that. I'd be willing to do a followup pr for that or discuss how to do it at some point if you'd like

  3. Zash

    I tried to make columns using a short-code, but turns out shortcodes don't nest, and all I got was ``` <h2 id="new-xeps">New XEPs</h2> <!-- raw HTML omitted --> ```

    Sure looks nicer

  6. Zash

    (manually edited the DOM)

    Zash, they do nest :) check https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/website/-/blob/master/content/en/_index.md

  8. wurstsalat

    or you could put the whole shortcode block into a row + three columns

  9. Zash

    I suppose

  10. Zash

    I did a shortcode that iterated over its inner block, and shortcodes in there produced "raw HTML omitted"

  11. Sam

    There are two kinds of shortcodes, one does markdown (so html gets stripped, one does html (more or less, you have to mark it as safe). It's very confusing.

  12. Sam

    but they do nest

    Zash: nice!!

  15. Zash

    Looks a bit ... unrendered

  16. Zash

    Another thing, why isn't there a big flashing link to the extensions list on the front page?

  17. Sam

    I had a hell of a time finding it from the front page the other day

  18. Zash

    Or, maybe a big flashing link to the latest compliance suite would be better, with a non-flashy link to the full list below.

    Ah. Menu--About--Specifications.

  22. mjk

    Still, a person seeking for extensions _specifically_, would be lost

  23. Zash

    Probably hard to find the correct balance between targeting users, developers and managers or whatever seems to be the primary target of the current index page

  24. mjk

    So... maybe a good idea to split the site by these categories instead of how it's currently is? Or just pick a different default. There are (probably) more devs than executives, and are more users than devs.

  26. Zash

    Having the main page be some sort of multiple choice thing? user? go here (getting started) developer? here's the specs. executive? have some delicious marketing nonsense! :)

  27. mjk

    Pretty much :)

  28. bung

    Isn't private group conversations on Xmpp spoken without verification?

  29. bung

    I think some things need to be clicked on.

  30. wurstsalat

    Zash: maybe we could put something like the specifications summary you proposed on the index page as well + a button linking /extensio ns
