I like Variant 1-1 the most - all other variants are a bit too big and
yelling for my eyes.
Maybe use size and layout of Variant 1-1 with colors of the last
variant (page 9, gray background)?

Nitpick: It's Org mode (or Org Mode though I prefer the former), but not
Org-Mode (or Org-mode).
I'm not sure the subtitles behind "Features", "Install", ..., are
useful. Worse, I have some feeling they could give a wrong impression
about the software.
It doesn't look bad, BTW.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2145 bytes --] I'm just going over the site to check accessibility with screenn readers, and here are a few things I've found: On https://orgmode.tecosaur.com/features.html: The first figure is not labeled, so I do not know what it is. The second figure is just labeled "babel.gif", which doesn't tell me much (pretending to be some one who knows nothing of Org-mode). After the "Collapsable Editing" heading, that figure is labeled "folding.gif" which is slightly better, but could be described much more, and without the .gif extension in the alt-text. After the "Task Management" heading, this figure likewise isn't described, only having its file name, "planning.gif", as the alt-text or description. After the "tables" heading, the figure, tables.gif, should be described using Alt-text instead of just leaving the file name there. After the "publishing" heading, the "exports.gif" figure should be described. Also after that heading, in the list of export formats, the second item just says "clickable" as the list item. After the "Extensibility" heading, the figure does not even have a file name as its Alt-text. After the "Time Tracking (Clocking)", the figure has no Alt-text. After the "Agendas" heading, the figure has no Alt-text. After the "Capturing" heading, the figure only has "capturing.gif" as the Alt-text. After the "With your mobile phone" heading, the figure below has "beorg.png" as the Alt-text. Also, I cannot find the area to view the Org-mode source of a page. Basically, describe the figures, don't just leave the description as the file name. I tested this with Google Chrome 85, and the NVDA <https://www.nvaccess.org/> screen reader. The rest of the site looks good. Devin Prater sent from Gmail. On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 11:13 AM Stefan Nobis <stefan-ml@snobis.de> wrote: > TEC <tecosaur@gmail.com> writes: > > > 2.

Hello,
thank you very much for working on the new Org Mode web site!
Just one thing which might already have been said:
The scrolling is weird. I use keys to scroll the browser, and there is a delay
and some weird smooth scrolling behavior. Is this desired?
Thanks,

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 190 bytes --] Hi Timothy, thanks for all your work! The only variant that I like is 2-1. Also, let's remove the mini-unicorn in the top bar, it is redundant and reminds me of the opening of IT Crowd. [-- Attachment #2: picture.jpg --] [-- Type: image/jpeg, Size: 59495 bytes --] [-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 868 bytes --] :) For the translations, as discussed IRL, we don't need to translate everything, perhaps just the index page would do. Let me restate some of the directions I shared with you privately: - I believe there are too many pages: I'd love the website to be just one HTML page. Rich contents should go to Worg and yes, we need to upgrade Worg's design too. Let's try moving such contents to Worg as soon as we can -- but this is not a blocker for the switch. - For the manual, I'd prefer to use the same design that the one used on the gnu.org website: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/index.html The proposed one (https://orgmode.tecosaur.com/manual) looks good but it is too fancy and too narrow. This is a blocker. That's all for me -- thanks again! Happy to help with the switch when blockers are behind us. -- Bastien

Thanks for reporting these issues, we need to make the website fully

Is there a specific set of languages, that is/must be
supported. Otherwise - depending on the format, I could do a
Danish
translation, when English pages are in place.

Dear Timothy,
I can provide Japanese translated webpages.
Currently, I have a permission to push translated pages in Japanese to
orgmode.org but I don't understand where you are working on for the
new website.
Could you provide me further information to help you? Email to me is welcome :)
Best regards,
Takaaki

Hi Bastien, Just remembered I haven't addressed everything you mentioned here. Bastien <bzg@gnu.org> wrote: > Also, let's remove the mini-unicorn in the top bar, it is redundant > and reminds me of the opening of IT Crowd. Ah yes, I see the resemblance :P I'm not sure this is a good idea though, as while this can be seen as redundant on the homepage, the navbar is used on every page. Considering that this is a site to help people learn about Org, I think that the visual consistency of having it on every page, and how that helps reinforce the association between Org and that logo is worth it. Having it regularly appear should help it stick. > - I believe there are too many pages: I'd love the website to be just > one HTML page.

I think a single page might be a bit further than ideal, as I see it a 'core' of static pages for orgmode.org would be - index/homepage - features - quickstart - install How does that sound to you? Of course, all of this migration to Worg can happen after an iniIal switch. > - For the manual, I'd prefer to use the same design that the one used > on the gnu.org website: This is quite easy (and not actually part of this branch), I think we just need to pass --css-ref "https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual.css" to the makeinfo/texi2any/texi2html command in https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/src/master/doc/Makefile All the best, Timothy.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1098 bytes --] Thank you very much for this. I wasn't sure if accessibility was something you'd care about or not, but I figured I'd give it a shot, as any blind user of Emacs, through Emacspeak or otherwise, who wanted to get into Org-mode would appreciate it. One more small thing or two: On the features page, the description: Demonstration of planing with org, managing a scheduled todo list should be: Demonstration of planning with org, managing a scheduled todo list After the "simple syntax" heading, the figure is empty. Is that supposed to be the case? Devin Prater sent from Gmail.

An update. 1. We have a volunteer for a Japanese translator (yay!), still looking for a french one 2. Following the community opinions and feedback on the designs presented, further iteration has occurred and 20 concepts have been reduced to the three most promising candidates. I now have a final 3 - the first two are the best ideas from the last selection, the third is a new idea. You can find the final 3 concepts here: https://0x0.st/ilFH.pdf, once again I'd like to encourage any feedback, and ranking of the options. Unless anything else crops up, I don't anticipate any other major changes being made. All the best, Timothy.

"collapsable" should be "collapsible". -- Nick "There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." -Martin Fowler
Nix on variant C from me. Slight lean towards B, but I personally would be happy with either A or B. Thanks! -- Nick "There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." -Martin Fowler
A vote for A from me. I think that using the light background for the
section above the fold fits better with the color themes of the other
pages and will make the transition less jarring. Best!

i am lost about a and b and 1-2 and so on. but i went to a tecosaur site and noticed that the old unicorn covering text when you use large fonts or have a low dpi monitor is no longer a problem, whihc is good. i'd suggest high contrast, light on dark, preferably with no glaring whites anywhere. i probably didn't address any of hte questions though. :) On 9/24/20, Ihor Radchenko <yantar92@gmail.com> wrote: >> You can find the final 3 concepts here: https://0x0.st/ilFH.pdf, once >> again I'd like to encourage any feedback, and ranking of the options. > > I like A and B with slight preference towards B. > > Also, the website renders strangely in qutebrowser (see the attached > screenshot).

I've seen a few manual-related requests like this but held off from
doing anything from a concern about clutter. Now that you mention it, I
think a dedicated page would make a lot of sense 👍.
I could have a go at this during the weekend.
