Apache Corinthia website is up and running
Hi,
The Corinthia website <http://corinthia.incubator.apache.org/index.html>
has been published and is ready for comments, critique, suggestions etc.
The site has a frontpage with just a few words about what Corinthia is
about and that volunteers are welcome onboard.
There is a community tab with a How to contribute text and a Contributor
guide text inspired by other incubator project websites. Then there is a
Learn more tab with a text about Corithia history, description, goal, etc.
The Documentation tab is meant to link to the Wiki. All texts need to be
worked on/revised by people who have the knowledge. Changes to the site
will be made after New Year.
The FB page and Twitter accounts have got the same banner/cover as the
website and you are welcome to Like/Follow them.
Please check out the site on your mobile devises to see how the responsive
design works.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Dorte Fjalland

Hello Dorte,
Thank you for the web site work at <http://corinthia.incubator.apache.org>. For me, the owl on the keyboard is wonderful.
The page works great on Internet Explorer 11 (on Windows 8.1) with a large, high-quality monitor.
Using my Windows Phone 7 (HTC with 4.5" screen) the page works beautifully. The illustration is clear. The menu pop-down works great. The twitter feed and small owl symbol work great, although it is not so distinctly an owl at the size on my phone.
The front page works great on an original Kindle Fire.
There is one common difficulty on all views. At the bottom, the Apache incubator material is too close to the browser frame margins compared to the other portions of the page. This is more bothersome on mobile devices because the edge of the frame is the edge of the screen. Also, the text that accompanies the Incubator symbol is too small and the interline spacing is too great.
Great work!
- Dennis

Just checked on iPhone and it looks fine.
Incidentally, now you have a mac you can install Xcode and use the iOS simulator to test how websites look on the various size iPhones as well as iPad.

Trademarks issues is a whole different discussion, where we have to start
with a name search (see status page) to get the name accepted, it does not
seem correct to have the logo accepted before the name.
There has been some debate on general@i.a.o when it is appropriate for a
podling to start discussing trademarks, and to me it seemed to be something
to be done when we are close to graduating.
The owl is hand drawn by dorte, based on a photo taken and modified by
dorte, so seen from that point there are no conflicts in terms of
trademarks....it is of course a different matter whether or not the
community like it.
but as I just wrote in a separate mail, if you or others feel it should be
discussed separately it is not a problem for me.

The original OWL image is the background picture. Dorte printed that out on
a big paper...put a transparent paper above it, and draw the logo, so it
has the exact same form as as the owl on the picture, then she did a lot of
magic with it in her graphic programs.
I have not checked what dorte committed to the site, but if she has
something of higher resolution, then I will ask her to mail it (and also
make sure it is somewhere in our repo).

They are, but only the logo is a trademark issue, and thus it needs a

I have no problem with a separate thread, but to me, website/fb/twitter and
Logo are tightly connected. If the logo changes (apart from stylish
changes) the main picture should also change.
So you can say we have 2 discussions in this thread. The general
layout/content of web/fb/twitter (menus, responsive design etc), and the
graphical layout (logo and pictures).

Dorte tried something like that, but did not like it. Feel free to play

The IRC channel was a very fast decision. Not saying it was a bad decision,
it was not, but before promoting it, I would like to hear more opinions.
I have no problem with having a IRC channel, provided someone is prepared
to hang in there...an empty channel or non-responsive channel is for me not
a good sign.
Personally I use google hangout/skype/hipchat a lot more and do not have
IRC started 24/7. But that is just my view, how do the community feel ?

Please put the logo proposal in a separate thread, it's quite an
important matter and should not be hidden inside a web site thread.
As for comments; I like the overall idea, but the logo itself is a bit
blurry/grainy, especially at a low resolution.
If we could stylize it as a vector image, it would be much better. If
Dorte does not have the time for this, I'd gladly look into doing it.
Shouldn't we also put our IRC channel on the web site?
With regards,
Daniel.

Hi
Are there really none who has an opinion about this logo suggestion ?
I would have thought we should have a lot of opinions. I for one like the
home page and the suggested logo.

Re: Apache Corinthia website is up and running

Looks like a great start. I like the logo/header image - I think it’s quite a clever concept (the wise owl sitting at a keyboard). I think the black & white image you have on Twitter could be simplified further, to be more abstract rather than a literal line-art representation of the photo. It will also simplify animal selection if we ever publish a book about the project via O’Reilly ;)
The content that’s up so far is a good start, though the introductory information needs to be more clearly accessible and better formatted (paragraphs). I’ll have a crack at this myself in the next few days, as part of other long-overdue efforts to write documentation for newcomers.

There was an excessive (probably) attention to using incubator or
incubating everywhere, to the effect that the OpenOffice dev list
archives are still indexed at
http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.ooo-dev and
that the transition from incubator to TPL took months.
In the case of Corinthia, there are surely fewer pages to update but I
recommend to use "Apache Corinthia" for anything where using "incubator"
is not mandated (which more or less means: you need incubator in the
site footer, you need "incubator" in the release artifact names and in
the README files, but you are free on most of the rest).
Regards,
Andrea.

thanks for the kind words. can you share your AOO incubator experience with
us. Did AOO run into problems by not using incubator as name, or (which I
assume) did AOO use it a lot and as a consequence have lots of changes?
I recommended not using Incubator unless it was mandatory, so if problems
arise I am to blame not the project.

The site looks OK, but rather than on aesthetics I'll comment on
content. I see that in most places you refer to "Apache Corinthia"
instead of "Apache Corinthia (incubating)". I believe this is absolutely
the right thing to do: while there are some mandatory disclaimers to add
while Corinthia is still incubating (and you already obey that in the
footer), creating a Twitter account for "Apache Corinthia (incubating)"
would be stupid.
In general, I recommend keeping references to "incubating" only when
strictly needed, otherwise you will regret that. For example, archiving
this list as
http://markmail.org/search/?q=corinthia+list%3Aorg.apache.corinthia.dev
and not as something containing "incubator" was another thing that you
did right. Continue like this!

Andrea.
