Because in Germany we have so many useless laws.

It will be a direct debit (Lastschrift in German). The second step will ask for the IBAN and BIC and that is all we need. > Personally I would prefer a payment method where I have to insert as less > information as possible. Same here. I suppose that this will be a big problem here. Maybe we need some fine-tuning later, but I do not see a way how we get around this in a better way. But open for any ideas. > @Maurice can you please include the screens with the overlaying grid on > zeplin?

DSGVO compliant?
by Sven 18 Jun '18

Hello, does the IPFire website have to be DSGVO compliant? We have a lot to do to do with various sites, and all the lawyer which I spoke have one thing in common: don’t use Google Webfonts, Adobe Typekit or any other Webfont service that tracks user data. I think that the fonts are the only resource that we get from a eternal server all the other scripts can be served from the „local“ web server. Greetings, Sven

Blog aka Planet

Hey folks, just want to let you know that I'm alive and added *WIP (Work In Progress. Sven, please don't start with coding yet)* Screens of the Blog at Zeplin - https://app.zeplin.io/project/58cb0217f2317d48c7a802f2/dashboard?seid=5b0dc… I discovered 4 different locations where a blog article appears: 1. https://planet.ipfire.org/ 2. https://planet.ipfire.org/post/ipfire-2-19-core-update-120-is-available-for… 3. https://www.ipfire.org/news/ipfire-2-19-core-update-118-released 4. https://downloads.ipfire.org/release/ipfire-2.19-core120 Did I catch them all or are there more? My goal is to provide only one version of an article which can be used for each destination. Which is already almost the case. For the future we should think about merging all those separated subdomains into one piece of website with a new navigation structure. I don't think they need to be technically merged together. Just one single navigation which can handle lots of links should do the trick. Best, Maurice
