aeolusproject.github.com's Issues

Update About page

Remove inaccurate information; simplify to high-level diagram, mission statement, and link to Projects page

Create "Featured" page

Page for featured content that has more staying power than the moving news blog.

Tag blog posts, and aggregate by tag?

"Contribute" page

The "Developers" page will be renamed to "Contribute", because:

  • "developers" is unclear - is it for developers or about developers?
  • there are other ways to contribute to an open-source project than just development.

The content on the page will be enhanced.

Discussed on the Web Cabal 2012-11-20.

Idea: Quick-calendar on main page/blog?

It occurs to me that, now that we have various weekly events, as well as various deadlines, it might be nifty to have a quick calendar.

I'm thinking just a quick list like:
Weekly

  • Weds., 13:00GMT - Some Committee Meeting
  • Thurs., 14:00GMT - Web Cabal Meeting

And then upcoming deadlines, e.g.,
Dates & Deadlines

  • December 1 - Code Freeze (date made up)

I think it'd be nifty to have this information easily-accessible. I figure it could fit in a small blob on the main page of the site, and/or in the right margin on the blog. (The place where we show the Conductor build status with Travis is just a blob of static HTML we can customize.)

Thoughts?

'Why use Aeolus' content needed

It was pointed out to use that our site doesn't do a very good job of explaining to users why they would want to use Aeolus. It seems like that is sort of central to what we should be doing. I would propose a couple of things here.

One would be to look at updating the copy on the main page to make this clearer.

The other would be to expand the About page to include some information beyond our mission statement.

'Conductor' link in footer is... odd.

We have a link to each of our projects in our footer.

The one to Conductor takes you to this odd page:
http://www.aeolusproject.org/conductor.html

The content doesn't really match my expectation. Someone clicking that link from our footer would probably be expecting to learn about what Conductor is. The page ostensibly addresses that, but the first thing I notice is this big red warning about us deleting your databases.

This sort of project page should, IMHO, give an overview of what the component is and how it's used, not installation instructions or usage warnings. We can link elsewhere for those.

Write something up on CloudForms/Aeolus relationship

We'd like to put something together outlining the relationship between CloudForms and Aeolus.

We proposed doing this as a blog post, at least to start out with. It might find an eventual home on the static site.

favicon for site and blog

Not exactly the most pressing issue, but it'd be nifty if we could make the Conductor logo a favicon for the static site and for the blog. It should be as simple as taking the image and sticking it through one of the many conversion tools out there.

Site search for wiki

The GitHub wikis don't appear to be searchable, which is kind of a bummer.

I wonder if the Google "custom search" thing on our site can be expanded to include the various GitHub wikis we have? I assume those pages get indexed by Google, so perhaps we can give it some regexps for what to include.

News links on Aeolus website are broken

There no longer seems to be a News page, so the NEWS link in the top menu bar is broken, as is the "News" link in the bottom footer.

There may be others, but these ones are from main navigation items.

Piwik stats server

The server that we are using for the stats is broken. Need to be fixed.

About Us page is totally wrong

So our 'About' page is totally wrong:

  • Our mission statement should be updated.
  • We don't have "Composer" or "Orchestrator" or whatnot. Those are made-up. We should remove them ASAP, and ideally replace them with correct information.

.com and .net go somewhere crazy

Even though it's not technically related to this move, aeolusproject.com and aeolusproject.net don't go to our website at all -- they go to some sort of outdated landing page. We should see if we can get those to point here as well.

The Team page is out of date

Our "The Team" / "Aeolus Team" page (aeolus_team.html) is fairly out of date. The ultra-wide table also seems to make the background look funky.

For bonus points, I wonder if we should incorporate the photo in this post: http://blog.aeolusproject.org/aeolus-developer-conference/ -- it's not a 1:1 mapping with our developers at all, but it might make us seem more... human.

This page is probably not overly-important content, so this is low-priority.

Wiki link in the footer is still wrong

We updated the wiki link in our header, but missed the one in the footer, which still points to Redmine. We should probably do a search to make sure we update all occurrences.

(I say "we" missed it, but it was definitely my mistake. ๐Ÿ‘ผ )

Sitemap

We have a bunch of pages, with some of them not being present in top-level navigation.

It might be nice to have something that automatically generates a sitemap to include all present pages. (Both an HTML page people can view and a sitemap.xml file for search engines.)

http://www.kinnetica.com/projects/jekyll-sitemap-generator/ looks promising.

loader.gif 404

When I'm running jekyll locally, I keep seeing 404s for loader.gif. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but I want to make it stahp โœ‹.

Broken links in Google

Is this issue still active? I don't think it is.

Recently, we had a problem with broken links (especially Redmine) showing up in Google. We need to try to use Google Webmaster Tools to try to purge those links, or find a clever way to handle 404s on GitHub Pages site.

I can no longer reproduce this issue, however. Going to submit this anyway just for verification that the problem has indeed gone away.

Update 'Use It' for 0.14.0

Our "Use It" tab still mentions 0.10.0 as the latest release.

We should probably:

  1. Update it for 0.14.0
  2. Work with Publicity Cabal to come up with a little "When we do a release, here are the 7 places on the site that might need updating" sort of list so we don't overlook them.
  3. Consider changing the page title to "Get It" like the tab says, versus "Get it!" as it is now.

Create "Release" page

Publicity cabal requests "Release" page which features current and upcoming releases.

Project: SEO

We've talked a bit in the past about trying to expand our website's find-ability through search engines. Let's use this 'issue' for trying to plan what that might entail, before breaking it up into proper tasks.

FAQ page

This is linked from our footer:

http://www.aeolusproject.org/faq.html

  1. Is that information even correct anymore?
  2. Should we have more content here?
  3. Or, should we just delete this page and remove the link? No content is better than incorrect content, and we're generally handling this sort of stuff on the wiki, aren't we?
