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