From: Gerald Pfeifer @ 2006-06-05 20:58 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gcc-patches, gcc; +Cc: java-patches, libstdc++

The following patchset renovates our web presence, adopting the current
style from www.gnu.org and bringing the Java and libstdc++ pages in sync
so that we now have one common style.

Feedback welcome!  (Steven, I've seen yours already and will respond. ;-)


Compress the navigation bar vertically, such that it no longer dominates
our vertical extent.
Move the gcc-announce subscription form from the navigation bar to the
body and restructure the lower half of the body into two columns, the
left one for announcements, the right one for subscription and search.
Disable the old logo and move the navigation bar from the left side to
the right side.
Adjust the Java and libstdc++ pages similarly by moving the navigation
bar to the right side.  Adjust the style in those two areas to our new
global style.

Gerald

How about a dash here rather than a comma?  Looks nicer imho:

> Feedback welcome!

Right-side navigation bars are nonstandard.  It should be moved to the
left side.  Don't accept the search engine excuse; that's easily
fixable.  Also, by fixing the search engine issue you punish Lynx
users; the navigation menu is now near (but not at) the end of the
text.

Sidebars should have some enclosing detail, such as a border or a
shading, so set them off from the rest of the page.  Don't rely on
whitespace to do this job.

"Platforms" and "Testing" have bullets; no other item in that list
does.

Looking better!  I like it much more.

Gerald> Feedback welcome!

Since you asked...

For the gcj pages I think there are still some things that would be
nice to change.  Some is content, some is layout, and some is
technology.  Overall the pages (and the gcc main page is included
here) are too cluttered.

Content:

The "what is gcj" section is too verbose.  It should be a single
paragraph, and then a link to "more info" or something like that.

Layout:

The font is too big.  The news section should be visible when you
first visit the page, without scrolling.  In particular I think the
news should be along the left, the "what is gcj?" thing in the middle,
and the navigation on the right (or reversed if the navigation is on
the left... I don't really care where that ends up).

Technology:

We should have an RSS feed for the news.  Ideally any gcj hacker could
add a news entry without a cvs commit, but I don't insist on that :).
The news column for gcj should come from this feed, and the news
column for the main gcc page should subscribe to it.

Take a look at the mono main page if you want to see something that
looks nice, is clean, and remains useful.

Tom

I was going to say the same thing.

Also what about moving the News up to a noticeable spot since right now
it is down in a corner so it looks out of place.  In fact on my screen
which is set to 1024x768, I have to scroll to get to the news.

The release info should be at the same level as the news.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Yes, the top news needs to be on the front page, anything you have to
scroll down for effectively isn't on the front page.

The reason I avoid the dash is that, per the FSF guidelines, the
title continues with " - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation".

This is not visible in the plain HTML source, but added automagically
on the server.

We could omit one of GCC or GNU Compiler Collection from the title, or
use "GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)" or "GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)".
I have a slight preference for keeping the status quo, but don't feel
too strongly about it.

On those systems I tested, include my notebook, things fit nicely in one
window (basically no scrolling), both before the revamp and thereafter
(this part wasn't really affected by the revamp).

This is good feedback, though.  Apparently this affects many users out
there, so let me see what I can do about it.

Attach is what I see currently on the web page, the news is down low  
in the lower right.
Barely noticeable.

On this one, we follow the style of http://www.gnu.org.  Looking into the 
CSS there, I see that indeed they (and thus us) set a different background 
color, alas that color is #fefefe which is white for all practical matters.

I guess this can be considered a bug, so I'll apply the patch below on 
gcc.gnu.org in a minute and try to get a discussion with webmaster@gnu.org
on this started.  (Viewers of http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ will still
get the design in sync with the main page there, but http://gcc.gnu.org
will get the background.)

Okay?

Addressed by several changes yesterday.  Should be much more consistent
now.

Rearrange the various sections on our main page.  Use CSS instead of

Is your concern mainly Lynx users (and similar users)?  It should be
feasible to move the navigation bar to the beginning for these while
still keeping it on the right side to be in sync with www.gnu.org.

(Which technique would you recommend to address what you refer to as
the "search engine" issue?)

I have to ask, why do people use lynx these days when links or elinks
are much faster and better text mode browsers?

I just have a very hard time thinking there are many lynx users these days.

some people don't run imperial machines; for some people, their

depends on the corner of world you look at.

Lynx is an example of a non-GUI browser.  All non-GUI browsers would
suffer similarly.  I don't think they should be moved to the top; that
messes up search engines, but the usual alternate is to put a set of
links at the *bottom* of the page, not in the middle.

FWIW, I much prefer the navigation bar on the left no matter what
browser I'm using.
