Documentation issues

  • The documentation pages need to be full-width (or at least wider). Done, but maybe revisit again.
  • Find a new home for report a bug and edit this page. (Or maybe just edit this page)
  • Remove mega drop-down because of numerous usability and technical issues Done.
  • Split left-hand navigation on documentation. Add the top bits of the navigation to a breadcrumbs-like navigation. Done.
  • 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?

Miscellaneous issues

  • Remove 'Thanks To' Done.
  • 'the typography is horrible, 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' - 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

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 (`git 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.
