15:03:37 <FranciscoD> #topic Mock-up 1: Vertical navigation pane
15:03:52 <FranciscoD> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-tour/Mock-ups
15:04:10 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: do you see any issues with this one?
15:04:29 <FranciscoD> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-tour/Mock-ups#Mock-up_2:_Vertical_Navigation_Pane
15:04:49 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: one quick question, notification corner also be visible
15:05:16 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: didnt get you, elaborate?
15:05:28 <FranciscoD> you mean also show some of the notifications?
15:05:42 <praveenkumar> yes right, like xchat only
15:05:46 <praveenkumar> or pidgin
15:05:47 <FranciscoD> yeah, we'll do that
15:06:04 <FranciscoD> #info also show some notifications in the default gnome desktop
15:06:13 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: i have one issue with this one
15:06:22 <FranciscoD> if you notice, the text needs to be in two lines
15:06:30 <FranciscoD> In one line, it sort of runs out of room
15:06:40 <FranciscoD> (since the width is decreased in this one)
15:06:52 <FranciscoD> I'm guessing HTML can handle that on its own?
15:06:57 <FranciscoD> we dont want any overlaps
15:07:06 <FranciscoD> #info We dont want any overlaps
15:07:11 <FranciscoD> #chair praveenkumar
15:07:11 <zodbot> Current chairs: FranciscoD praveenkumar
15:07:18 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: yes I think it will handle
15:07:31 <praveenkumar> about background?
15:07:45 <FranciscoD> i really dont know what to use as background
15:07:47 <FranciscoD> :/
15:08:01 <FranciscoD> we cant leave it white, looks pathetic
15:08:10 <praveenkumar> can we use some old fedora default wallpaper kind of stuff?
15:08:32 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: we could, but we'll have to try them out to see if the colours are okay
15:08:38 <FranciscoD> ie, dont get in the way of the text
15:08:50 <FranciscoD> thats why i left it just plainly shaded for the moment
15:09:03 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: yes, details should be visible ..
15:09:14 <FranciscoD> yeah, and the pointers etc too
15:09:45 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: so where we have to use JS to pop up, if the info it already in text form?
15:09:57 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: the text is just two words here.
15:10:07 <FranciscoD> When we click the text, it will elaborate on the parts
15:10:15 <FranciscoD> take the network for example
15:10:35 <praveenkumar> ok got it, more details
15:10:43 <FranciscoD> when we click on the text "network applet", it will pop up a nice example shot of the network applet and explain it
15:10:55 <praveenkumar> alright
15:11:09 <FranciscoD> Subfusc didnt like the navigation buttons on this one
15:11:39 <praveenkumar> according to him, what would be better?
15:12:01 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: any suggestion from him
15:13:15 <FranciscoD_> praveenkumar: sorry, another powercut
15:13:18 <praveenkumar> praveenkumar> according to him, what would be better?
15:13:18 <praveenkumar> <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: any suggestion from him
15:13:20 <FranciscoD_> damn
15:13:32 <FranciscoD_> praveenkumar: yeah, he preferrd them to be in the center of the page
15:13:45 <FranciscoD_> however, that clashes with the text, so I pulled them downb
15:14:19 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD_: like which shows in vertical one?
15:14:20 <FranciscoD> since both the text and the navigation are clickable, them overlappying becomes a usability issue really :/
15:14:50 <FranciscoD> like the one with the navigation pane at the bottom, yes
15:15:06 <FranciscoD> In that one, we have sufficient space to place it in the mid level
15:15:11 <FranciscoD> in the second one, not so much space
15:15:41 <praveenkumar> yes, for horizontal one we don't have to space to put them in middle .
15:15:48 <FranciscoD> I'm okay with them both, but yes, the buttons in the center look a little more intutive
15:16:05 <FranciscoD> #info talk to suchakra mizmo tatica about navigation buttons
15:16:35 <FranciscoD> #topic Horizontal Navigation mockup
15:16:39 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: center mean in center of main image which displayed to user ?
15:17:05 <FranciscoD> mid level i meant
15:17:13 <praveenkumar> ok
15:17:14 <FranciscoD> like #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-tour/Mock-ups#Mock-up_1:_Horizontal_Navigation_Pane one has
15:17:34 <FranciscoD> this one looks nice and neat to me
15:17:52 <FranciscoD> again, nothing to decide between the two really. We need an expert designers thoughts IMO
15:17:55 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: what say?
15:18:01 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: yes, here we have more space in both side to put more details
15:18:13 <FranciscoD> aye
15:18:38 <FranciscoD> #action FranciscoD request mizmo tatica suchakra t2hot to help decide between two prospective mock ups
15:18:48 <FranciscoD> #topic CODE
15:18:59 <FranciscoD> praveenkumar: i mailed the list about the code we found, thanks to thunderbirdtr
15:19:11 <FranciscoD> looked at it yet?
15:19:17 * FranciscoD will start looking at it tomorrow
15:19:22 <praveenkumar> FranciscoD: yes I just checked it, will go through the details
15:19:50 <FranciscoD> alright, I think that makes our task much easier. :)
15:19:59 <praveenkumar> I also need one day to look into it
15:20:18 <FranciscoD> yeah, we'll discuss that over the weekend I think
15:20:21 * praveenkumar notes to install thunderbird

15:20:40 <praveenkumar> yes, that only time which generally I get
15:20:46 <FranciscoD> XD
