Hello
everyone.
It's my pleasure of
joining the team, still
- I'm making sure Jerry's close by.
First, I'd like to say that the Focus Areas is
very impressive and has progressed quite a bit since I was last involved in this
project. Great job by everyone involved!
Now to some
constructive input by a newbie. Following are a couple of
quick comments based on things I noticed as a newbie during our call yesterday
and through the course of the day:
- Currently the site
(in 1024x768 resolution) requires horizontal scroll, would be nice to
eliminate that, possibly be reducing some sponsor logo sizes to be as wide as
the smaller ones. One of the suggestions on the call was to put the content in
a separate resizable frame, allowing users to minimize the real-estate taken
by the sponsor logos.
- I wasn't sure at
first what the red asterisk beside postings was for. Apparently it's for
unread postings. Perhaps there's another way of indicating read/unread
postings?
- Known issue (I
guess) is the events section. I find the colors confusing - what do they
actually mean?
- Another point
related to events - would be nice to have an add to Outlook capability /
iCalendar at an event level (after drilling into the event details). I see the
iCalendar link on other views but it doesn't work in FireFox (apparently
requires configuration) or IE7. Besides, the 'Add to iCalendar' image
shows on days which don't have any events...
- A posting can be
read several times from the same IP address within the same several minute
time frame and the number of reads is incremented, not representing the real
number of times it is read by different users which is what I assume we are
trying to achieve (and display). This might also inflate the aggregate number
of reads the site displays as part of the stats.
- Noticed that the
server time is off be almost +8 hours. To see that, select a wiki page and
look at the track tab.
- I previously
subscribed as a different user but have been inactive for a while. Forgot
about that as I subscribed again. How does one go by to delist himself as
a user? Do we plan to delete inactive users and notify them before
deletion?
- Took me a
while to find out how to blog. If this is an important feature we want to
encourage (as it is the first item on the menu) perhaps there's a way to make
it more prominent?
- This may
have been considered before. Perhaps we should have a housekeeping
section in the wiki that is available only for the editorial board to list and
address issues like the ones mentioned here? I would hope that would be
more efficient than e-mail.
That's all
for now.
Cheers,
Adi
