[fedoracommunity.org] The filler pics didn't fill up the whole box.

[Caius Chance]

Hi,

There are some problems on appearance in:

http://fedoraommunity.org/apac (and all other 3 regions)

The top box "Region-wide Resources" has the pale background filled nicely.
However, for the boxes of "Community Site in this region", the filler pics only
stayed on the left without filling up the whole box by extension or repeating itself just
like the "Region-wide Resources". I have checked out the CSS which seems the top
box used different method as the boxes below.

Would you mind to have a look on that please?

Thank you very much.

ahah I thought that it was intentional. I don't really feel the design…
It's like if we wanted to show a snapshot of the website's home page.
Makes sense? Should we? (I won't take them… it won't be automated…
there would be outdated…).

Should we just expend the background color?
After looking at the code, it is clear to me that the first intention
was to provide snapshot.

The box on the left is intentional. I don't believe there was a 'purpose'
for it other than look. Keeping up with homepage screenshot is too much
effort. I do recall it should change when someone hovers over it though to
a darker color. That doesn't seem to be implemented.

Yeh, it was originally for screenshots but we never got code in place to
generate the screenshots. :( We could use it for the logos of each
community site, maybe.

Using logos would be a good alternative than homepage screenshots. Its less
likely to be updated frequently.

I support the idea of keeping logos.

Everyone would then see the French logo which doesn't strictly respect the
usage guideline ^^

That could be nice, but they could have a banner only.
It could even be the country flag.

Please, let's not use country flags.  There's too much political
tension when we try to use country flags for just about anything in
Fedora.

Oh ok, I always forgot politics while working in a community :(

While looking for some logo, in order to see if this would be a good idea,
on the first page (APAC), I got:

* http://www.fedorachina.org/
Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.

* http://bd.fedoracommunity.org/
If you feel you have reached this page in error, please contact the
web site owner:

Arg, need flash!

sounds not to be a brilliant idea.

Should we test the website connection frequently, to hide (gray?) the
one not running?

How about using language name (written in such language) of the main language used in each
group?

e.g. "French" for French (language) community, "Español" for Spanish
(language community), "Brasil" for Brazilian (region) community, "中国"
(means China) for China (region) community?

That should already be in the subtitle of the div block.

I suggest to use the word of the main language used in the groups, in such language;
created as picture form.

For example, "French" for French (language) community, "France" for
French (region) community. [1]

If there are their own traditional calligraphies for the communities it may looks
attractive.

kaio

[1] "中文'" for Chinese (language) community, "中国" for China
(region) community, and so on.
