All I am asking now is if I could have access to a staging environment(maybe in
another url, as I don't want to mess with your current staging site, as you
may want
to make changes there), so I can make those changes and having a fully working
and
tested homepage within this week, that we can move live.
Thanks, George! As you've probably seen from other conversations, we are
on a very tight schedule at the moment since we need to move our old
sites to new servers this week; this is why nobody had the time to help
you with the site.
Since I see it's just HTML and assets, we could try hosting it at
http://www.openoffice.org/new
or similar, provided you use relative URLs for assets.
You will need some patience; I like your draft more than the current
homepage and I think it undeniably looks more modern, but we'll have to
feature-match the current home (e.g., it suggests the native-lang site
when available) and some of the choices we had made, like not to have a
prominent Donate button, reflected mailing list discussions back at the
time. Everything can be reversed, but it needs to go through a
discussion. Fortunately, discussions on this list are now much shorter
and to-the-point than they used to be a few years ago, so I hope we can
have the new homepage online relatively soon.
Next step: if you manage to adapt the JS so that it suggests the
native-lang site correctly, I can then put it at a convenience URL for
testing (or we can continue to review it on Github). Some of us will
very likely be busy with the Wiki and Forum upgrades this week, but some
feedback should come.
Regards,
Andrea.
