Regarding the icons: I would like to use the material design icon rules. With rules I mean the guidelines to create those icons. E.g. 2px stroke strength.
Reason: it's easy to create custom icons with these rules and the keep a consistent look. We will need a lot of icons for the WUI.

Hi all,

I agree. Good job so far Sven. Thanks.

I see couple of more minor bugs I would like to fix. Can we please create a to-do list which can be edit and tracked by all involved people? Michael, can you set up something?

If Michael can add a new category for the website in the ipfire bugtracker, than we can add the issues there.


At the moment I design some key viewports for the features page and the captive portal in parallel.

Michael, if you want to implement new copies, images etc. let me know and I can design an additional or replacement for a section of the homepage.

Best,
Maurice

Hi,

so finally I took the time and had a close look at the current version of the
website and I really really really like it so far.

For me it mainly has some sort of soul. The old website was just blank and
didn't really present things very well. It just delivered the plain content.

Very well done guys.

But this is only the start :) There is more ahead and I am really looking
forward to present everything to our community soon!

----

What I at the moment don't get from the website when I open it is that this is
saying "firewall" in any sense. I don't mean just the word but visually stating
this anywhere.

It is not a big issue for me but at least in the block below we have to make
this clearer what IPFire actually is. This doesn't have much to do with the
design. This is just content.

After a general introduction the reader gets to the latest news!

And then how to support the project and contribute (at least financially here).

Good flow.

----

Overall I could not find any issues with the implementation so far.

The mobile views look good. Most of the stuff that I do not like is content. We
have to update this a bit.

One thing is that the arrow at the bottom of the page that scrolls it down
becomes invisible when hovering over it. Maybe it should become white when the
background changes to red?

And in the Wishlist section there is a line that says "86% funded" over the
headline of the crowd funding name. This is a slightly lighter grey than the
background and practically invisible.

The link to the "Features" page is wrong on the top view. It points to: http://d
ev.ipfire.org/featues (an r is missing).

----

Regarding code:

The CSS seems to be quite small (I like that a lot). However, how would that get
translated from SCSS to CSS? Could you modify the Makefile so that this is done
automatically when ever something has changed or so? I am not even sure what
tools are required to build the CSS. Can we document that somehwere, too?

Small CSS? It has 5385 lines at the moment, is not that small :-) But in the live version I will compress the code.
For the CSS compilation I use a program called Codekit that complies the CSS every time I save the document.
But I will look for something that can do that step on the server.


We need to do a spring clean then. Will we continue to use Font Awesome icons or
the glyphicons? If not, bin them.

Only the icons made by Maurice as svg. No Font Awesome or glyphicons.

----

So I think we are very close to consider the frontpage done. What are the next
steps?
