Want to join the www.php.net redesign effort?

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
  • Mobile device friendliness.
  • Revisit the primary navigation menu:
    • It falls apart on small screens.
    • 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>
    • The quick TOC menu could be removed to give additional space. We'd need to find a new home for language selection, report a bug and edit this page.
  • Design better sidebar navigation for man pages. Consider only listing method names under the class name? <levim assigned>
  • 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)
  • Use the moderated flickr group feed (http://www.flickr.com/groups/elephpants) for the elephpant pics Done, I think.

Howto hack on stuff?

Execute https://wiki.php.net/web/mirror#i_m_lazy_just_give_me_something_to_execute

The frontpage beta code is located in index-beta.php Other things should be trivial to figureout where is.

Hack on whatever you don't think is pretty, or add functionality you want. Once you have something you would like to share, create a patch (`svn diff > my.changes.patch.txt`) and send it to php-webmaster@lists.php.net

I want to share my 2cents regularly

Subscribe to the webmaster mailinglist (send blank email to php-webmaster-subscribe@lists.php.net) and participate in the discussions there :)

I want to modify this page

Register for an wiki account (https://wiki.php.net/start?do=register) and send a quick “I am human” email to php-webmaster@lists.php.net confirming your wishes to edit this page.
