What effects needs to be toned down? 15:37:43 Subfusc: aye 15:38:03 Well, first of all, we don't want the "floating menu going down to the bottom" thing 15:38:11 It will only waste time and resources 15:38:16 bouncing text, not a big fan 15:39:27 Other than that, arrow should move down when closing the menu 15:39:45 and the coming out of the side menu is badly designed IMO 15:39:50 Was there anything more? 15:39:52 :P 15:39:55 ? 15:40:15 FranciscoD: ? 15:40:16 ! 15:40:27 FranciscoD: go 15:40:32 so, to summarize 15:40:54 o/ 15:40:54 1. the navigation part can be fixed to the bottom? Instead of it expanding from anyplace? 15:41:09 2. Text should be normalized 15:41:19 tatica: hello :) 15:41:20 3. we dont really need the side menu 15:41:31 * FranciscoD realizes he should have used #info 15:41:34 #info 1. the navigation part can be fixed to the bottom?

Text should be normalized 15:41:39 # info3. we dont really need the side menu 15:41:43 #info 3. we dont really need the side menu 15:41:47 eof 15:41:49 praveenkumar: go 15:41:53 tatica: hello :D 15:42:05 Subfusc: Instead of floating menu we can put "forward > and backward < " navigation buttons 15:42:12 hello guys, please, continue :) I will try to catch up 15:42:12 eof 15:42:19 * thunderbirdtr listens 15:42:32 ! 15:42:35 Subfusc: go 15:42:41 * suchakra is here at last :P 15:42:49 praveenkumar: forward and backwards needs to be visible at all times IMO 15:42:50 tatica: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-tour/2012-03-27/fedora-tour.2012-03-27-15.32.log.txt 15:42:50 * niteshnarayanlal is also here , trying to catch up :) 15:42:52 eof 15:42:56 ! 15:42:58 FranciscoD: go 15:43:03 ! 15:43:19 alright, the forward and backward can be used to navigate to the immediate previous or next "slide" 15:43:40 but I still propose we have a navigation pane like so, to enable folks to move to other areas 15:43:49 ! 15:43:49 moving one by one will kinda be slow IMO 15:43:52 eof 15:43:53 praveenkumar: go 15:44:13 already discussed eof 15:44:18 Subfusc: go 15:44:31 bckurera: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-tour/2012-03-27/fedora-tour.2012-03-27-15.32.log.txt <- log link 15:44:57 Navigation pain should fill entire edge (one of them) And not float like the one in the example IMO 15:44:59 Eof 15:45:07 ! 15:45:16 Subfusc: so you mean, we just have it in expanded form 15:45:20 right? 15:45:20 eof 15:45:24 ! 15:45:25 ! 15:45:26 ! 15:45:29 woah 15:45:30 kishan: go 15:45:48 would be good to have a left side-pane 15:45:53 ? 15:45:59 that has finer details 15:46:09 about the image on the right 15:46:25 ! 15:46:36 err.. I guess no one understood that, isnt it? 15:46:51 kishan: eof? then folks will pile on ;) 15:47:02 hmm , eof :P 15:47:09 suchakra: go 15:47:10 i don't think we need to have so comprehensive animations to hide navigation pane. It eats up so many resouces. a simple pop in/out will siffice 15:47:20 its too heavy 15:47:36 * underscores is afk (eating) =) 15:47:37 * FranciscoD points out that Subfusc already pointed out that we can have a fixed navigation pane 15:47:39 we need to concentrate more on the interaction part in the DE's UI 15:47:52 * suchakra notes that 15:47:57 eof 15:48:02 Subfusc: go 15:48:09 FranciscoD: I mean like the one at the bottom in the example. Move it to one side instead of having it floating in the middle like the menu in that example. 15:48:22 also suchakra++ 15:48:23 eof 15:48:29 praveenkumar: go\ 15:48:31 ! 15:48:39 ! 15:49:12 I think we put details in the images itself, no need to create extra pannel for that 15:49:14 eof 15:50:26 FranciscoD: go 15:50:30 praveenkumar: ++ 15:50:42 kishan: If you see the mockups we've made, the details are all on the image itself, in forms of pop up "bubbles". 15:50:42 ? 15:50:58 i dont want it to go anywhere near a wiki UI 15:51:04 (that isn't the intention) 15:51:05 eof 15:51:07 * thunderbirdtr wonder where is mockups ? 15:51:07 suchakra: 15:51:09 the bottom image strip is inspiting for icons for most commonly used apps but the way it naviages is a bit intimidating to a novice user. Simple buttons would suffice. 15:51:10 suchakra: go 15:51:28 also, i love the popup idea for displaying "more info" 15:51:54 its something like http://suchakra.fedorapeople.org/some-designs/txthub.html 15:52:17 i hope thats what FranciscoD was trying to say :P 15:52:19 eof 15:52:26 ! 15:52:28 Subfusc: go 15:52:31 ! 15:52:51 thunderbirdtr: erm, let me get you a link, a minute 15:52:56 What do you mean by "put details in the images itself" ? 15:53:05 eof 15:53:11 FranciscoD: go 15:53:24 * suchakra ripped some part of that ui from web :P 15:53:25 well, lets say we're explaining the DE default desktop 15:53:31 in its pristine form 15:53:47 thunderbirdtr: http://suchakra.fedorapeople.org/fedora-tour/mockups/screen1.png 15:53:48 we'd like to show the user the components of the default desktop 15:53:58 so, we'll likelyt have a screenshot in the middle 15:54:14 kishan, thank you 15:54:23 and using JS, the various parts of the screenshot will be "interactive", 15:54:23 * thunderbirdtr looking.. 15:54:37 so, when we mouse_over the activities menu for instance 15:54:54 ! 15:55:00 you get a nice pop up that goes "the gnome activities menu. Click here for details" 15:55:16 on click, we can bring up an image of the activities menu with more details 15:55:21 this is what i had in mind 15:55:32 oh and #link http://www.asciiflow.com/#5817105695602619919 15:55:37 is that good enough? 15:55:51 next prev navigation "buttons" 15:56:01 and a fixed navigation pane at the bottom 15:56:28 we can decide whether the navigation pane at the bottom needs to be interactive, or if we'll program it to display a range 15:56:42 maybe N -3 to N + 3, where N is the current "slide" 15:56:44 phew 15:56:45 eof 15:56:53 suchakra: go 15:56:56 FranciscoD ++ 15:56:59 eof 15:57:25 ! 15:57:28 FranciscoD: go 15:57:43 ! 15:57:54 the ieda is to highlight the portions, sort of to "attract" the new user to use the mouse and explore the image 15:57:57 eof 15:57:57 Subfusc: go 15:58:00 * suchakra thinks tatica 's input may be valuable too :P 15:58:16 I have a video that I would like to show you guys 15:58:34 it is sorta what I'm trying to do (but my free time it's been NON-existing lately) 15:58:38 I would just like to note that extended use of transparency, especially on non-hw-accel desktops can strain the CPU eof 15:58:41 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fr_dBAjqug&feature=youtu.be 15:59:03 what we need to do, to make fedora more atractive is to make it less geeky and more human 15:59:21 not talk about the awesome apps we have, but how they (and our distro as package) can solve or help with yout life 15:59:24 your 15:59:34 ! 15:59:37 ? rather 15:59:41 I'm completely lost right now, so i just shoot that idea :D 15:59:41 eof 15:59:54 tatica: i think the fedora tour can really help here 16:00:10 the ambassadors should really be asked to take this up IMO 16:00:21 * FranciscoD wouldnt want one more fedora team ;) 16:00:26 FranciscoD, ++ 16:00:32 Ambassadors and Mktg 16:00:50 Subfusc: i agree with you.

You review, merge to devel/master 16:21:25 but yeah, I can babysit the repo 16:21:48 Subfusc: I dont want to lose any more time learning stuff. We have a big learning curve already :/ 16:21:54 #action Subfusc babysit git repo 16:22:02 #info Subfusc is the git master for fedora-tour 16:22:16 Subfusc: is the workflow I suggested alright? Or is there a better way of doing things? 16:22:33 (I dont want everyone pushing to master. I think that could get messy) 16:22:59 FranciscoD: for design there I would probably have to pull specific files, since its going to be a mess if I pull everything at once 16:23:16 but yeah, I don't see an easier way of doing it rignt how 16:23:17 now 16:23:41 alright 16:23:55 FranciscoD, ! 16:23:58 remember that all branches can pull all branches, so you don't have to ping me for minor changes in one branch which another branch needs 16:24:14 Subfusc, ++ I pass my turn 16:24:15 #info workflow: work on your own branches. do something substantial, ping Subfusc when need to merge to master/devel 16:24:30 Subfusc: that makes sense ^? 16:24:38 FranciscoD: yes 16:24:38 FranciscoD, ++1000000000000 16:24:59 Subfusc: are you going to use just a master, or a master which has the stable release commit, and a devel for the ongoing development? 16:25:12 (your choice, but everyone should be aware) 16:25:22 FranciscoD: I'm not doing development in main branch, if that is your question 16:25:24 :) 16:25:44 Subfusc: yeah, so a devel branch then? :) 16:25:49 Its generally not a good idea to do that 16:25:52 yepp 16:26:09 #info development goes to devel branch.
