#100: Fedoraproject.org banner (not being dynamic) problem

The amber(features & screenshot), green(downloads), pink?(community),
blue(using fedora) and purple(help) color banners at
fedoraproject.org are not big enough/don't automatically expand if the
(translated) string is more than one line. Text is lost when translation
can't be 'one line wide' due to local word length/syntax.
Suggested is 'it depends of your browser, probably because "em" font size
is used and not px' in combination with website design not being dynamic.

[fedora-websites] #246: fedora.css sets a universal scaling factor of 76%, which is much too small

#246: fedora.css sets a universal scaling factor of 76%, which is much too small

fedora.css, which all Fedora websites are encouraged to use, has this
right at the top:
body
{
font-size: 76%;
background: #FFFFFF url(../images/border-left.png) 0 0 repeat-y;
}
It's been there for years, since before the stuff was imported to git, so
its history may be obscure at this point, but Googling around, it looks
like 76% was considered a 'rule' by some so-called authorities at some
point. http://www.sitepoint.com/css-font-sizing-tutorial/ has mention of
it in the comments, http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=17583 has some
chatter about it, http://www.baekdal.com/insights/new-minimum-font-size is
from 2005 and cites 76% as the new *minimum* recommended font size, etc.
I think it's pretty unarguably too small for the modern day, though.
Taking the standard 'base size' for browsers - 16px - and using the 96dpi
convention, text at '76%' is 12.16px in size, which is equivalent to 9pt.
How many people do you know who have their desktops set to a 9pt font on a
modern system? Particularly a modern *laptop*. Reading text on Fedora
sites on most systems without zooming or overriding the CSS or setting a
large minimum px size in your browser (which is undesirable for other
reasons) is a pretty tiring experience even for me, and I still have
effectively perfect eyesight for reading text; it must be more or less
impossible for anyone with somewhat less than perfect eyesight.
Yes, this is the thing Felix Miata is always banging on about, but you
know what? Now I spent a day actually looking into this stuff, he's
absolutely damn right. Sorry, Felix. I hope this post was calm and
reasonable enough and brought enough numbers. :)

We are moving towards Fedora 21 Alpha and this time we will have some more
changes on the webpages, although we will '''NOT''' switch to the new
layout for prerelease versions. So, as for the other Alpha releases we
need to:
* Add Alpha banner
* change globalvar.py accordingly
* add checksums
* check DL links
The release schedule actually doesn't have a release date, it's still
''not earlier than August 5th'', so our script for the the upcoming Beta
and GA release dates probably will not work properly.
Remember the images will not be the same as for F20: we will have 3
prodcucts and accordingly we should keep only 3 jquery tabs, without
preferring any product on the main get-prerelease page.
Server WG asked and obtained a different deadline for Alpha release, that
means we need to keep in mind Server will be released later than Cloud and
Workstation.

[Fedora] Plan Stage 0: Move to Zanata
by Noriko Mizumoto
(This mail is cc'd to Infra and websites teams as this activity may
impact Infra and websites teams.)
Hi all translators,
With all suggestions/ideas/info posted by all of you, I had first meetup
with zanata team to draft a plan to start with. I like to share the news
I got from zanata team here. I will update the plan page with the
following information later tomorrow. The move will occur in parallel as
suggested. The communication channels with zanata team are zanata-users
ML [1] and #zanata channel on freenode. Due to the limited
capacity/resource of zanata team, posting to ML would be appreciated
than pinging on irc.
I thank you so much to Zanata team!
Stage 0 - Establish Test Instance on Openshift
Available at: localized-zanatatest.itos.redhat.com
Period: 4 weeks
* This is trial run. Log in with FAS account and create new zanata
account, and play. It is important to be loud and file a bug for any
request [1]. Please make sure to append "[Fedora]" at the beginning of
the subject. This will give a bug priority ;p
E.g. [Fedora] Organization feature is needed.
Stage 1 - Establish fedora.zanata.org (FAS only instance)
Available at: TBA
Period: n/a
* This will contain only essential items, no history is imported. First
every language coordinator needs to create new account and become your
team coordinator. And then the coordinators will help and approve other
translators to join. Note, there is no auto or transparent migration.
Stage 2 - Import history and Add features requested
Available at: TBA
Period: n/a
* History (such as reviewed marks, notification, translator credit per
msg) and any additional feature requested (and approved) will be
migrated. It is essential to evaluate and decide what level of history
to be imported (or may be given up).
