WineHQ Tasks

This page contains ideas of fixes and improvements for the main WineHQ site.

Big Stuff

• The wiki still uses the ancient Wine theme and needs to be converted to the new skin seen on the front page / AppDB

Generic/Small Stuff

• Ensure compliance to some (x)html spec.

• Horizontal lines (<p><img src="./images/grey_pixel.gif" width="100%" height=1 border=0 alt="-"></p>) and spaces at end of page (<p> <p>) should be replaced with modern and CSS based things.

I18N Status

It would be nice to have an internationalization status page, detailing the status of our resource and documentation translations.

• http://source.winehq.org/transl/

• Source code: http://source.winehq.org/git/tools.git/?a=tree;f=transl;hb=HEAD

• (Original, preliminary version: http://www.mikolaj.zalewski.pl/wine-transl/)

Wiki pages linked from static pages

• A lot of links on the website point to wiki pages. We should make extra effort to ensure these are good. See WikiToDo

Cleanup of static pages

• The About page needs a picture of some sort, right justified.

• http://www.winehq.org/resources needs to be in the wiki (or just deleted)

• The About page links to some wiki articles, see WikiToDo

• We need to move static pages into the wiki so the text can be updated easily:

  • Contributing to Wine http://www.winehq.org/contributing

  • http://www.winehq.org/developer-cheatsheet

• Some pages are currently duplicated on the wiki and the website. Prune them from the website code (and make them redirects)
• The Developer page could use some static text and possible trimming of the links. Dumping a list of resources on them isn't quite helpful -- we want them to want to become developers.

Testing Status

Somewhere we should explain our testing infrastructure, containing:

• an explanation of the entire winetest business

• ditto for winrash (http://winrash.sf.net) -- seems to be a dead project

• ditto for http://source.winehq.org/transl

• pointers to where users can download them (tests & winrash) -- http://test.winehq.org/data/

• how users can help by actually running them (winrash is preferred)

• instructions on how to install winrash

• a legend for the test pages

• links to the last 40 most recent results

Also, http://test.winehq.org/ should contain:

• a short description of the results

• a link to the http://www.winehq.org/site/status, for full details

• the above mentioned legend for the results

• a summary with links to all test results (for bonus points, display them in calendar form).

Status pages

• Redirect: http://www.winehq.org/status/porting --> http://wiki.winehq.org/WinePortingStatus

• Redirect: http://www.winehq.org/status --> New wiki page on general status (this needs to be maintainable, ie, it won't have any actual information in it other than pointers to existing sources)

• Redirect: http://www.winehq.org/status/directx --> http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectX-ToDo

• Delete: http://www.winehq.org/status/multimedia

• Delete: http://www.winehq.org/status/ui

• Redirect: http://www.winehq.org/status/todo --> http://wiki.winehq.org/TodoList

• Delete: http://www.winehq.org/status/changelog

• Delete: http://www.winehq.org/status/dlls

• Delete: http://www.winehq.org/status/wine

• Delete: http://www.winehq.org/winapi_stats

• Redirect deleted links to status

CVS browser page

• At wineconf it was said that somewhere on the website is a CVS browser still...should be removed.

Download page

• Should provide some sort of link for Mac users. Perhaps to wiki page.

Help page

• Audit: http://wiki.winehq.org/HowTo (it's linked from the main help page...perhaps it shouldn't be). There are also way too many words on this page.

• http://www.winehq.org/help/ needs to look modern and more helpful

• help page has links all over the place in the text, looks tacky
