It should be http://lprof/sourceforge.net/test Please have a look and provide feedback on anything you feel needs your feedback. This is definitely a step forward. Here are my comments more or less in random order. General stuff: I like the way you incorporated the ICC v2 logo into the back ground. Very creative. But there might be legal issues with this. The guidelines for use of these logos from the ICC are: "ICC logo usage guidelines The ICC logo(s) must be surrounded by a clear space at least equal to one-half of the width of the logo as shown in the illustration. Never use less than this specified minimum clear space. " Perhaps the solution is to use smaller versions of the logo on either side of the background where there would be room to display the whole logo with enough space around it to satisfy the above requirements. It would be nice if the page would expand to fit the width of the browser Window. Can you do this? In the Copyright section the copyright should belong to everyone that contributed content not just me. Not sure how to best handle this. But in anycase I would prefer that my name not be there. So perhaps created for lprof and copyright lprof. I don't know - anyone else have any ideas about this? I think that sourceforge requires that we place the sourceforge logo and link somewhere on the page. This is the same one as is currently on the upper left hand corner of the existing home page. Should have said something about this earlier but it just occurred to me. There should also be a Donate to LPROF link that goes to the sourceforge donate page for the project http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=146038 I believe that sourceforge has a standard graphic for this link. Content is, of course, draft at this point. I will work on getting more complete content for each section to you. Also others on the team please feel free to contribute content. The documentation link does not currently work. I suspect that at this point you are still working on it. This might be a good place to link to the help html. Links page On the links page I would put the "Profiles" link section last. In the Linux Distributions section for SuSE and Red Hat it should say "(No LPROF Page Available)" The Other Links section should be divided into two sections - a "Other Links" section and a "Color Management Aware Software" section. The last 8 and the LCMS and behrmann links belong in the CM Aware Software section. The behrmann link text should be "Oyranos and ICC Examine" Also capitalize the E in Enblend. The text for LCMS should be changed to "Little Color Management System" Also add the OpenICC Wiki http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenIcc to the other links section. Anyone have any other links that should be added? Logo/icon Again a step forward. The original version of the logo the three balls were colored Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. In the new one these are yellow, blue and red. This is something that probably only a color management person would catch but the two basic color systems that we use are CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) and RGB (reg, green, blue) so using yellow, blue and red in the logo will seem odd to the folks that are likely to frequent the site. I know that as soon as I saw it I thought that something was not right and it took me a few seconds to realize that it was the mixing of the two color systems. You will notice that in the ICC v2 logo they have used both but separated into two sections with the CMYK colors emanating from the eye. I would suggest going back to CMY for the balls and changing the color of LPROF to black. This would result in a CMYK logo. Others on the team might have some additional ideas about this. Again thanks for getting this in place for the team to look at. I would like to have the new site in production by the time the next development snap shot is released. I would also like to use the new logo/icon for the next development snap shot. Hal |
