My Fedora mockups
by Máirín Duffy
Hey folks,
I mentioned this briefly in the websites meeting earlier this week but I
wanted to let you know about a project that myself, J5, lmacken, and Eve
have been working on recently called My Fedora:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MyFedora
From the wiki page:
"my.fedoraproject.org is a project to integrate all of the Fedora
infrastructure in one place. The goal is to create a modular web page in
which each module would pull views from the various Fedora resources and
display them to the user. It is a first step in implementing the goals
laid out in this paper [1]. At first the web site would be geared
towards Fedora development but could also handle upstream development
resources and user community start pages. "
So far, on the design front, Eve and I put together a set of mockups and
a rough sitemap to show the flow of the pages:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MyFedora/Mockups
I've also made some good progress towards some CSS to support the
mockups, see:
http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/webdesign/My%20Fedora/html/
As I mentioned in the last websites meeting, the css is structured like so:
main fedora css (from www.fpo) => application chrome css => my fedora css
I was thinking moving forward when we fedora-ify an application in our
infrastructure, we could use the main fedora css => application chrome
css and then any app-specific customizations could go in a stylesheet
specific to that app. I'm writing the app chrome css such that it would
be generic enough for that usage. It includes things like the tabs along
the sides and the various widgets in the main content area.
Let me know what you think!

Hello everyone!
by Darren VanBuren
Hello, my name is Darren VanBuren. I chose to join this mailing list
because I want to help open source projects, with my knowledge of web
development. My main server-side programming experience is PHP. I run
my own website from my own computer at http://oks.verymad.net/.
My PGP key is on the MIT keyserver.
I will not be able to make the even week meetings because I have
school (I'm only 13) and I will miss the first 30 minutes of the
meeting on odd weeks because of school as well.

bottom of page unreadable
by Brian Harvey
I'm trying to read
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F9Common#My_Bug_Is_Not_Listed
(although I'm guessing other pages have the same layout) in Firefox with
minimum font size set to 16. Right after the "websites team" mailto
link near the bottom, there's a thick horizontal bar, not quite the
width of the window, covering the line "The Fedora Project is ..."
And then I can see the "Red Hat is not responsible" to the bottom.
Setting my minimum text size to "none" fixes it, but then I can't read
any of it (farsighted).
Also, the text under "My bug isn't here" promises a link to Bugzilla at
the bottom, and I can't find one.

fp.o/contact
by Yannick Lyn Fatt
Hello everyone,
I was taking a look at the Fedora Websites Page Request wiki
page (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/PageRequests)
and noticed that the fp.o/contact page was listed. I was
wondering if anyone had started/was currently working on
that page and if it was still required? If it's still
required and no one is currently working on it, I'd like to
take this on as a start since I'm still fairly new.
>From the requirements and details I know we need contact
info for end user support, legal issues, website issues and
the apache test page. What other contacts are needed or what
other questions do we get via the mailing list that are
misdirected or off topic?
Regards,
Yannick Lyn Fatt

note for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
by Ofer Inbar
When upgrading from Fedora 6 to 7, I got a bunch of errors of the form:
Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package
Although the document on the wiki suggests you may have to remove
rhnlib and update, it fails to mention that that is because those
aren't part of fedora 7 so you don't need them anymore, which would be
comforting for someone doing the upgrades to know. However, that
wasn't enough. What I needed to do was:
rpm -e rhnlib up2date 4Suite authconfig firstboot-tui authconfig-gtk firstboot system-config-boot
That got rid of all the packages that triggerred the python(abi)
dependency, allowing me to do a yum update and reboot into Fedora 7.
I was then able to reinstall these packages:
yum install authconfig firstboot-tui authconfig-gtk firstboot
So I would add a note to the FAQ suggesting removing all of those
packages before the upgrade, and reinstalling the subset that still
exist in Fedora 7 after the upgrade. I would also have the note
mention that "Missing Dependency: python(abi)" error explicitly, so
that people who see it will know what it's about and what to do.

websites meeting, aug 25th
by Max Spevack
Hi all,
I won't be at tonight's websites meeting, but I wanted to send out a
reminder and ask for one or two of the Websites regulars to step up and
lead the meeting.
#fedora-websites @ 20:00 UTC
Our tasklist has fractured into the "current stuff that is actually
being worked on" and the "older stuff that is sort of in hibernation".
My thanks to Karsten for doing some clean-up on that page.

Websites mission
by Karsten Wade
... and not just a mission statement, but a clear mission of what we
want to be doing and don't want to be doing. Then we make it clear to
everyone else. Ours currently is:
"The Fedora Websites initiative aims to improve Fedora's image
and to create the best possible interface for users and
contributors on the Internet."
This came up for me because I hear about various web applications that
are going to run (potentially) on Fedora Project domains. Some of them
are features so get tracked by that process. I'm also not clear who
"owns" random web code.
Is there/should there be one organizing entity that is responsible for:
* Knowing about all web app projects
* Keeping track of them
* Being the project for web app developers to "join" so they can
contribute to Fedora's web presence
* Ensuring resources are shared, wheels are not needlessly reinvented
* Coordinating the collaboration
* Letting others know about them
* Putting them on a big to-do list somewhere
Is that entity Websites?
- Karsten
