[maemo-community] Fwd: Re: Site Proposal

[From: Glaubert Oliveira]

Hi everyone.

I believe that this conversation is really important. In a certain way this
has everything to do with our desires for the 'visual' look of our future
site. We have to absorb all this information and try to design whilst always
thinking of our users.

Sometimes we question things that are really subjective and personal and
which we will find difficulty in ever reaching a conclusion (this happens a
lot with color)

My proposal for the site as well as Andrés and Tims are different takes on a
similar structure

I think we need to structure the site and its information in order of
priorities and in this way we will *know* the changes we need to make, not
just making a site with the appearance of a site

I think at this time we should define the links well, which is the main job
and is a job we should approach with great love and attention. Often a link
with a good name can be a good usability solution. We should make sure that
the names of the links really allow the user to arrive where she wants and
where she should be. For this job I need your help!

Working with andré on the development of the maemo.org site we always found
some things rather strange, even more so on the device itself.

I designed the site thinking about these frequent use cases whilst not
 forgetting the contrast in different site areas, whether the buttons were
clickable on a device as well as the joining of logical information areas
and so on.

The site looks really different from the old one and I think we have arrived
at something really useful even if we are not in absolute agreement about
the finer details

We need the content now
