#420: Customzing our Reddit presence on /r/Fedora -----------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: jflory7 | Owner: Type: Web Design | Status: new Priority: high | Severity: Moderately Involved Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------+---------------------------------- * What's your deadline (could be date, could be Fedora release milestone) * There is no set deadline on when this has to be done, but sooner than later is always preferred. * Maybe a good tentative deadline is by the Fedora 24 release, when we will have a large influx of traffic to the subreddit?
* Who's the developer writing the code (IRC nick + email + wiki profile page URL) * Not decided. * I'm submitting this ticket because I noticed /u/ryanlerch sent modmail to the moderators of /r/Fedora many months ago about possibly pursuing this as a project. Depending on his availability, he might be interested to take this on.
* If you can, please provide us with example URLs of web designs that are similar to the result you're looking for * Good examples are many other common Linux subreddits. The /r/Ubuntu subreddit is a good example of what is possible, and a few others are linked below. * https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/ * https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/ (I personally love the design of this subreddit) * https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivated/ (another modern + flat UI)
* What type of web project is this? * As far as I know, customizing a subreddit is all CSS, confirmation needed.
* Wireframes or mockups for a website / web application * None at the moment…
* Is this for a new or existing site (if existing, provide URL)? Do you need CSS/HTML for the design? * Existing. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/ * CSS.
* Information design diagrams and flow charts for planning or reorganizing a web site / app * N/A
* Provide a link to the theming documentation if available * https://www.reddit.com/wiki/styling * https://howtoreddit.wordpress.com/subreddits/create-your-own /customizing-your-subreddit/ (unofficial)
* Other information * I was recently promoted as a subreddit moderator by ianweller (the only other active moderator on the subreddit). To gain privileges to actually editing the stylesheets for the subreddit, either one of us could promote a member of the Design Team as a moderator of /r/Fedora to deploy the changes. * I think this would be an awesome project for us to pursue, although it is worth noting that our subreddit is an '''unofficial''' Fedora site, similar to the Fedora Forums. However, it is a well-trafficked site representing our project, and having an attractive and modern design can help positively represent Fedora among current and potential users looking to learn more about Fedora, ask questions, or anything else regarding Fedora.
