Hey all, You rock! I've been lurking on whats going on. I'm really excited about banda. I'll get on top of things fully in the next few days before I go to San Fran. Here are some thoughts: * Could the header be shorter? It'll make a lot of people scroll down as it is. I could see making the headphones smaller. This might help the banda logo fit in better. * Orion I appreciate your work on the banda written out in inkscape but I like the stuff Evan did better. It seems cleaner to me. Orion could you work more on the client ui mockups and design? What do you think about a custom theme to bring the website look to the client too. * Eric pointed out ie7 does not respect the transparency of the black bar. Watch out for that. * Rich, the content looks good. How bout setting us all up to blog? * What are everyones thoughts on the survey stuff? Should we do it? What should be our focus? Thanks all. Hopefully I'm coherent. Cheers, Scott |

IE6/7 doesn't support alpha png transparency, so the gray container div will be solid for IE users. I knew this going in, so it's taken care of. I need to fix the footer height for IE6, which I'll get to tonight after I finish some stuff up. I'll clean up the header stuff I did last night and get one up on the site, too. Surveys sound great. I haven't done them before and I'd definitely like to learn. We could either have them in a blog post or a page of their own. Either would work, I think. Speaking of the blog, we should at some points set some groundrules for blogging. Stuff like categories and tags to assign to posts and the format/tone we want to write in. I'd like to start working on the style of the comments section soon too. I have some ideas, so I'll keep you guys posted on how that turns out. I'll be in Olympia this weekend, so if there are meetings after Friday at 2pm, I won't be able to attend. Nice work, guys!

Hey Evan, one thing I'd suggest for the header on the site: Make sure you start the image far enough right. In your screenshot it feels like the logo's being pushed off the top-right of the page. I'd suggest indenting it AT LEAST to the same level as the text. I agree that the font may not be the best on the website. Maybe we can find a use for it somewhere else. Here is the hot new vector-graphic panda! At least most of my time was worthwhile! :) I'll only be able to be at the meeting on Friday for about 30 min. Just to let you all know. Any specific ui mockups/designs that are needed?

woot woot! sounds great! i personally like orion's "banda" better... just a personal taste thing... but i can go with either. i will get everyone set up as bloggers as you request, evan, d i have the admin privelages to do that? also, i am developing a features list, faq, and some other content for the site which i am hoping to have up on the site by friday. as to that, evan, can you get the text out of the container and into the body for me please, or tell me how i can do that... thantks! i have also talk to JJ recently and gotten him started on some mockups. ive given him all the stuff i graphically have and am having him make some screenshots for us. as he gets through them he should be mailing them to the devel mailing list. orion/scott, if there is any specific layout you want in an artist/album page please let jj/myself know so he can design the image as per that. if you can get some final designs he can make em into screen shots, he has a ton of experience in that sorta thing. also, as per the survey, ive just been waiting to start that! i personally want a ready to go website to send people to, and we are almost there. i think we need to set a benchmark and say... when we have this much set up on the webpage... then we open it. that way we can also plan on when to start surveys. if i have time in between the other banda parts im doing i will work on survey questions as well (i definately have enough free time... i just need to manage it well). im excited we have things to do!!! yay! evan and i have come to an agreement where he is gonna mainatin the styling of the website and i am gonna oversee the content. so if someone has questions about those respective parts you know who to talk to... that includes adding content... what time are we meeting friday???
