Line 1: Line 1:
-== Want to join the www.php.net redesign effort? == +This page is up-to-date as of **Friday, 11 October 2013**.
-There a bucketloads of things left to do for the www.php.net (http://prototype.php.net) redesign. The frontpage is stabilizing these days, but the code behind it hasn't been fully implemented.+
  
-== Random things that need to be done == +=== Homepage === 
-  * Mobile device friendliness. +  * Remove "Fast, flexible and pragmatic, PHP powers everything from your blog to the largest social networking site in the world." Even if it is true (I doubt we could claim the second part any more) it's marketing nonsense: we don't need to sell anyone at this point. 
-  * Revisit the primary navigation menu: +    * We could probably put something really important in this space; ideas? 
-      * It falls apart on small screens. +  * <del>Move event and group information into links.</del> Done.
-      * It breaks with JavaScript disabled. +
-      * Not all categories are drop-downs. +
-        * Should we remove the drop-downs for landing pages?  +
-      * Community portion is dynamic. That's probably not a good thing. +
-  * Create a list of User Groups. +
-  * Implement better calendar system, and show UG meetups and conference more prominently +
-  * The documentation pages design can be improved. <levim assigned> +
-    * The documentation pages need to be full-width (or at least wider).  See the next item for an example page. <levim assigned> +
-  * Design better sidebar navigation for man pages. Consider only listing method names under the class name? <levim assigned> +
-    * [[http://php.net/manual/en/recursivecallbackfilteriterator.getchildren.php?beta=1|RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator::getChildren on prototype]]  +
-    * [[http://php.net/manual/en/recursivecallbackfilteriterator.getchildren.php?beta=0|RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator::getChildren on live]] +
-  * Identify content missing from current php.net homepage that should be in the new version. +
-  * Make conferences section dynamic. +
-  * Make user group events dynamic (preferably localized somehow) +
-  * <del>Use the moderated flickr group feed (http://www.flickr.com/groups/elephpants) for the elephpant pics</del> Done, I think.+
  
-== Tweeted concrete feedback ==+=== Documentation issues === 
 +  * Find a new home for report a bug and edit this page. (Or maybe just edit this page) 
 +  * A lot of users seem to want us to add the Previous and Next links back in.  
 +  * Linking to certain sections of a documentation page doesn't work properly (the fixed-menu hides content you linked to) 
 +  * <del>The documentation pages need to be full-width (or at least wider).</del> Done, but maybe revisit again. 
 + 
 +=== Navigation issues === 
 +  * We've trimmed away too much stuff. Probably need an "Other Sites" option. 
 +  * Re-add a link to php.net/my somewhere. 
 +  * Search is in a bad state.  
 +    * Re-add auto-complete (and please, don't import the whole jQuery UI to do it! If you use jQuery UI, just grab the bits you need) 
 +    * It screws up language selection. Can this be helped now we are on google search? 
 +  * <del>Remove mega drop-down because of numerous usability and technical issues</del> Done. 
 +  * <del>Split left-hand navigation on documentation. Add the top bits of the navigation to a breadcrumbs-like navigation.</del> Done. 
 + 
 +=== Miscellaneous issues === 
 +  * 'the typography is horrible, <del>navigation makes no sense, "begin tutorial" button looks like a css mistake, the arrow for download php 5.3 looks unconnected to anything, "thanks to" block makes no sense'</del> - [[http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/6909025#6909025|tereško]] 
 +  * Mobile device friendliness. -- Partially done. 
 +  * Make user group events dynamic (preferably localized somehow). -- Is this done? 
 +  * Use the moderated flickr group feed (http://www.flickr.com/groups/elephpants) for the elephpant pics 
 +  * <del>Remove 'Thanks To'</del> Done.
