Hello,
I'm Anuradha Welivita from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I am very much
into UX/UI related stuff and hence really look forward in contributing
towards this project.
Good to know! You are very welcome to help us out in this.
While searching for a UX/UI related project for me to contribute in
GSoC
2015, I came intact with the project idea "AskFedora UX/UI & Functionality
Overhaul". By looking at the mock ups provided I was more than happy to
commit myself in developing the design idea for Ask Fedora.
All the best for GSoC. Please make yourself familiar with the process
and contact mentors. I would be there to help if needed as well.
In the source for testing in Git, it says "After pulling this
repository a
few steps must be taken so the database is migrated and static files are
generated". I need to know what are these steps so that I can start being
familiarized with the code and modify it.
As far as I remember, after setting up everything, I used the command
line management option of askbot to do some more setup in the
openshift instance.
First, ssh to your instance. Then,
$ cd app-root/repo/wsgi/askbot_devel/
$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py collectstatic
Hopefully everything works after this. If not, ping me back, I will
see what I am missing here.
To let you (and others) know more, we are planning a overhaul of the
UI - a lot of UI will be written from scratch. Initial WIP designs of
main page (mobile version) are at :
http://sarupbanskota.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ and
http://tuxology.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ (usually both are in
sync but sometimes not). If you open this is a mobile (or scale your
browser down smaller), you would see how its intended to look. We will
make this repo public *very soon* as we reach a somewhat "showable"
state :)
Tentative plan :
http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.txt and
http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.pdf
Once again, best of luck for GSoC. Keep on playing with askbot and
getting yourself familiarized with the setup in the meantime. Please
speak to the mentors as well.
