openboard-website's Issues

English download link for windows is incorrect.

No idea if this is bug with the release script the website or release script, but the English download link for windows is wrong. It's currently listed as https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/releases/download/v1.6.1/OpenBoard_Installer_1.6.3.exe

Content management

That is the obvious next step to allow other team members to create and update content on the OpenBoard website.

I researched a few free, basic, simple and well designed open source PHP/MySQL CMS alternatives and found one that hit all these targets: Anchor CMS

The only annoying part would be the multilingual aspect. But there is no really simple strategies for a multilingual blog or CMS. Basically there are three:

• Use a localized content block CMS (like Django) or framework (like Drupal)
• Multiply DB fields to account for each language (Impractical)
• Multiply the blog or content management system itself for each language

Deploying Django or other similar systems is not that straightforward and certainly overkill for what we need right now.

For our presently small dual language website, the most pragmatic way may be the third one: Having two Anchor instances. A few benefits:

• deployable on our current LAMP stack
• would allow for not strictly symmetric content (developer ressources)
• simplicity and flexibility allowing to better grasp what we really need along the way

Choosing this alternative would reorient this project as an Anchor theme, a new build phase could take care of compiling the theme ready to be uploaded to an anchor instance.

What's your take on this?

update.json still reports 1.6.4

The update.json file still reports the previous version 1.6.4.

navbar: openboard's icon to full white

We should change the openboard's icon to full white.

Proposal: no direct links to issue templates

Currently there are some direct inks to issue templates on the github and the support pages to encourage people to contribute to OpenBoard. By this, the user however bypasses the issue list and has no incentive to search existing issues first. I think the recent question about pasting and probably some of the false positive issues are caused by this.

I therefore propose to explicitly mention that the user should first search for an existing open or closed issue, e.g. by linking to https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/issues?q=is%3Aissue. Then tell them that they can open a new issue if they don't find an answer there.
