<div>I'm going for it.</div><div><br></div><div>@Andras: see my comments below...</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">- could you post a screenshot of the footer?<br>
</blockquote><div>Attached.</div><div>For the footer I tried to get rid of the colophones which are really 80s (I love 80s),</div><div>and just left the textual credit.</div><div>That's the best way I see it, and hopefully does not take away the relevance of IEM. </div>
<div>However, I don't want to take decision, ppl let me know what you rather.</div><div>I would rather adding an IEM logo, but I just can't help with the colophons thing.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
- what do you think about making News and Recent Changes more similar to<br>
the menu by adding an internal padding to the whole containing element, and<br>
at the same time, decreasing the padding/margin of the individual items?<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that could be good, but if you notice the linkable text of News and Changes can be much longer than the menu items.</div><div>Therefore, we might have two or three lines of text in that sidebar, and that would not be controllable,</div>
<div>and possibly look bad.</div><div>I can try that and see how it goes.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">A few humble ideas about the main page:<br>
- the link to the Belorussian translation looks a bit orphaned, but I don't<br>
know where else it could go<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>agree</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">- seeing the same "old" screenshots on the opening page is a waste of prime<br>
time space IMHO, because once you took a look at them you won't use that<br>
part of the website anymore<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agree, I think what Andy said is also crucial.</div><div>We can't have a Pd patch screenshot which can't be read on the community homepage.</div><div>It's a bit embarassing. Specially when you show it to your student, bothering them about the patching guidelines.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">- what do you people think about moving the current content of the main<br>
page to a menu item like "What is Pd?" and filling the page with more<br>
dynamic content? eventually, to fill with leads of News and Recent Changes<br>
items, which could even eliminate the need of those blocks (News is already<br>
on main page only, Recent Changes appear on some sub pages but not on each).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Then we would have What is Pd and Exhibition.</div><div>Yes, they are not the same conceptually, but it risk to be confusing imho.</div>
<div>I think we should first try to make the home simply more attractive, and try to deploy better the pages are already there.</div><div>Then, if we realize those pages aren't enough, we can start thinking about new things.</div>
<div>But I think the potential of the present structure and its contents are truly overlooked.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
- if the main page ever gets populated with News et al, it would be nice to<br>
have a cover picture however. Eventually rotating cover pictures, possibly<br>
linked. Maybe a crazy idea, but wouldn't it make sense to have a<br>
carousel-like thing showing up items from the Exhibition on the main page?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is a good idea, was wondering whether we could implement some connection with the Pure Data Vimeo channel.</div><div>So we would also more clearly relate to Pd social world. And perhaps, more ppl will become aware Pd has a social world outside of forums and list.</div>

- all i currently see when clicking Community is "check out<br>
DevelopmentWiki". Is this a temporary or very necessary state here?<br>
