need your help!!!! bonus: you get to check out lots of FOSS games!

[Máirín Duffy]

Check out the test server for the new Fedora spins site, here's the
games spin on it:
http://spins-test.fedoraproject.org/games/

Click on the games tab.... That's a LOT of games. Bert (bertie) and I
started creating some screenshots for it last night. But a lot more are
needed. Can you help us out? We made them 300px x 225 px, and took a
screenshot and put a logo in too. Where the game didn't have a logo we
made one.

Let me know if you can help! You can claim a whole letter (e.g., I took
care of all the games that begin with A) and churn them out. Then zip
them up or put them in a tarball and email it to me, and I'll check it
into git (giving you credit of course) and it'll show up on the site.

P.S. This is a great way for new team members to take on a task as part
of the design team membership requirements.

Ok, I hope I can prepare KDE spin page content today (or tomorrow). Do you 
have some template/mockup how should pages look like? For example support 
could be very similar over spins - there should be Bugzilla info, mailing 
list, IRC + some other channels as our Facebook page etc.

Great! The mockups for KDE are here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo#Spi...

The KDE spin was the spin I was most concerned about because Rex and 
Kevin had concerns about the whole redesign, so I had gone ahead and 
generated some content early on for it to save them the hassle. If 
there's any content in those mocks you'd like to modify or add to though 
please feel free. The one catch is the 'About KDE' tab is just filler, 
if you have anything in particular to add there, cool - if not the tab 
isn't really necessary as most spins won't have that tab. I just added 
that mockup to show you could do a little screenshot tour there if you 
wanted.

The templates haven't had the html/css worked out yet. I think sijis or 
hiemanshu may be working on that but I am sure they would appreciate 
some help. They both hang out in #fedora-websites.

Thank you so much!

Oh and just to clarify. The page chrome *has* had the templates worked 
out! It's just the tab contents stuff hasn't been html/css-ified yet.

With templates I thought content for example for "Support" tab - I think it 
should be same around all spins (+ some extensions to it). Same for "Home" 
page - what kind of information do you expect it there? Short "marketing" like 
paragraph with the screenshot probably, I'd like to use "About KDE" for more

detailed tour, I have some ideas what we'd like to show, some screenshots 
ready so... 

And for other areas I have few ideas and I see you had the same ones ;-) But 
now I'd like to concentrate on setting it up on time and we can extend it 
later.

I've set up wiki page and few KDE SIG members are already working on it.

Thanks

Sorry for popping-up but I was going through the different mock-ups and
I have to say there are really nice.
One thing I noticed though is this 'About' tab. KDE has a 'About KDE'
while FEL has a 'Learn More', shouldn't they be harmonized ?
(Or maybe it's just the print-screen which is not up to date).

Great work again,

Hi,
yes, "Learn more" suits more the content we'd like to have there ;-)

You don't need to download the spin to make the screenshots, you can get
them from the upstream webpages linked there.

Downloading from upstream is not the best option, use yum/package kit 
instead, all of them are available in the repository (and even more than 
that, the spin is only a selection of our games, constrained by the size 
of a DVD).

But in the case you want to download the spin, here is a nightly build 
of what will become F12:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/games/
(warning: there is no guarantee a nightly build would boot or run 
properly, they are intended for testing)

I can go through the G's.  Like Hisham asked.  What's the time frame?
And are you just taking the logo from the project and putting on
there?

A good way to do this is to use the Games Live DVD, it does not have 
*all* games, but there are a lot of them.

We're in great shape thanks to Bert, Charlie Brej, Hector Gomez, and
Patrick Connelly, and Hisham Abdel-Magid. We're gclose but we still need
more! :)

It looks like Hisham is still working on the H's, and Patrick was having
some trouble getting screenshots for GemDrops. So here's the ones we
still need folks to claim to crank out screenshots for:

- Games that begin with F
- Games that begin with K and L
- Games that begin with M
- Games that begin with N and O
- Games that begin with P and Q
- Games that begin with R and S

And just as a reminder, the specs for the screenshots we need:

- must be 300x225 pixels
- must include logo of the game. If the game does not have a logo, feel
free to make one up for it.
- you don't necessarily have to install the game and take your own
screenshots; if you can find some on the web they should be okay to use
since the game content is licensed appropriately.

We're getting really close! Thanks to everyone who's helped so far!

Thanks again,
~m

Really nice list of games, I'm not gamer but I like quick 5 minutes relax with 
some easy game, looks I can choose one now.

I've covered few KDE games for our spin and as it seems that's not only 
showcase of games spin only, I think it would be worth to include it there 
too. I try to prepare screenshots but KDE spin page is priority right now...

It's better to have actual gameplay screenshot than just intro page with logo.
