Dear all, As Valentin has already mentioned a while ago in his Lilypond report #1 (http://valentin.villenave.info/The-LilyPond-Report-1), I've been working on moving the Lilypond documentation to texi2html. The big advantage: This means that we have now full control over how the documentation should look like. The drawback: We now have full control, so we need some good screen design of the documentation. I've done some very basic design (lever let a coder do a design or you'll end up with something ugly like this!):
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/texi2html-out/Documentation/user/lilypond/index.html (Please note that due to some CSS issues I'm working on, this does not yet properly work in Internet Explorer...) Our goal is to merge this new documentation format into the master branch in the near future (before Lilypond 2.12!). I'm sure there are lots of great graphics designers here on this list, so here is your task: We need a good screen design for our documentation (not yet for the rest of the homepage; this will come later)! Task: Screen design for the Lilypond documentation Format: Anything you like that I can read (html, images, photoshop, pdf, ...) Requirements: -) Should look good / professional, but still encouraging to read the docs -) be intuitive and not intrusive (because the contents of the docs are still the most important part!) -) Must work without javascript, flash, etc. (Just HTML and CSS - I'll do the implementation) -) If the design is flexible enough to be later used for the design of the lilypond homepage, that would be an additional plus. Time frame: ASAP, during the next few weeks Reward: To see the Lilypond docs in your design, plus proably a few honorary mentions in the lilypond report and the homepage Even if you don't provide a full design for the docs, any suggestion for improvement of the current status of the docs is of course just as welcome. Also, if you notice any problems (apart from the sidebar not working in IE and some broken links to external manuals), please tell us (either here on the list or via private mail) I suppose I have enough time this week to respond to suggestions / questions / other issues. Cheers and let the work begin! Reinhold PS: The complete documentation index to the IR, NR, LM, snippets, etc. is at http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/texi2html-out/ Please notice that this page does not use the documentation style, but rather the homepage style and thus won't be affected by any design changes to the docs yet. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org, KOrganizer maintainer * Chorvereinigung "Jung-Wien", http://www.jung-wien.at/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
