I've sent merge requests for all our sites that are either:
a) Static; or
b) Built using a Static Site Generator

What's the best page to link to instead? https://kde.org/community/donations/ probably

It looks like forum.kde.org is even redirecting to discuss.kde.org now, so I can't verify the change. But, that's acceptable too, so whatever! 😆

The banner has been added (by Harald Sitter I think).

IIRC it was lost accidentally in some technical migration, and was not a deliberate thing. It needs to come back to avoid confusing the heck out of users, yeah.

It has been explaine, don't reply instead reread those messages. This is completely unacceptable behaviour. You're sabotaging your own cause.

We spoke in a previous task about this. You cannot just reopen the same ticket again and again.

If so, KDE should add a clear exception to the KDE Vision for benevolent Western

We're focusing on moving everything to donorbox instead.

We're moving everything to donorbox where this tracking is working as we need it to.

We've been through this.

• Pages being statically generated resolves points 1 and 5;
• Getting CI artifacts and repositories is apparently the way to go if we want to systematically obtain updated app data. Anyway, with recent efforts, the build time is considerably reduced;
• appstsreamcli convert has been replaced by the py-appstream package which can be updated when we want to get more kinds of data;
• The staticweb image has been used to build the website, instead of the `suse-qt515 one.

Beautiful!

Yeah, I think so!

Should we add these pieces of info into the same section where we are now showing links to Windows versions? With some text modification, of course, so that it doesn't mention only Windows ones?

Not only AppStream download button but other ones have all been redesigned to be visually uniform, less redundant, more familiar to users, and support l10n better, with this MR. You can see the discussion related to the MR here.

The redesign has finished. Let's close this.

@cblack Thank you so much, it was a kind offer but I don't want to increase the amount of workload on you. Thank you!
@aacid We can try and make some automation for approved strings but I can't estimate the effort required for SVN.

Update: all, except the archiving step, are done for games.k.o:

• "How to play" sections are shown for games having the data. These sections can also be translated;
• Accessing games.k.o pages will redirect to corresponding parts on apps.k.o, except games.k.o/old and its subpages which are left untouched.

Well, this tangent is kinda moot now since some chatting & it's probably not going to work out having Hebrew team work on the instance I set up for the Toki Pona team.

That's probably acceptable but I am going to maybe wrongly assume you don't also speak Hebrew?

I'm going to warn you against that, you can't create a system to automatically commit things from other people into KDE servers without human interaction, that's basically giving out your user for anyone else to [ab]use, and that's obviously not allowed.

@aacid That's maybe relevant to pootle, in Weblate there's an ACL and a string approval system.

Could we chat on a more real-time platform to hash out the details of that? My matrix is @pontaoski:kde.org and Telegram is https://t.me/pontaoski

@cblack Yes, I'd love that.

You want to use the Weblate instance set up for the Toki Poka team for the Hebrew localisation?

Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

@cblack What will it take to simply join them?

I haven't done a lot of webpage work but from what I can tell this seems like a solid plan.

How do you think?

Another data point: the toki pona team uses a Weblate instance working directly against the SVN. Works fine, other than the fiddling of the internal checkout Weblate uses required to prevent it from dying on how many files we have in its "scanning" phase.

So as I can see, the 3 websites that are equivalent to categories of our apps, edu.k.o, multimedia.k.o, and utils.k.o, are still alive and really outdated, even though we already have some other plans for them. The other category-equivalent one, games.k.o, although has been ported to Jekyll, I think can still be improved.

The website has been refreshed and is ready to be extracted by Scripty.

All I need right now is a tiny bit of hope...

you've already requested this and got an answer

Do we have an update here? Do we have this text on the KDE site?

Assigning to @ognarb to get something on kde.org

Thanks for clarification on the Purism thing.

We can score the dot, Nate's blog, the Planet and our social media in search of highlights that will be intelligible to a wide audience.

I think we want to be a bit selective about what we add to the timeline. So I think we don't want to put in every release etc. And especially also put in important milestones that are not releases.

Update from the fundraising sprint: Carl and Lays are putting work into it now.

I prefer:

@allyson, I brainstormed some headlines + intros, and have a variety that you can play with:

I have very very very ealry draft for a page I'd like to see/someone not familiar with KDE.

( this is with absolute disregard to consistency with other pages; which I don't think is a big problem for a custom/event page, and these of c. these are just some very early ideas)

I think this can be marked as resolved. I have been added to the website, and Eliza is no longer with the project.

pushing request to sysadmin for website address 25years.kde.org to be laid out same as kde.org & akademy.kde

We have decided to keep this ticket open, but instead focus on making sure that data flows into civicrm

hey here is my new text for the website (also with my full name), feel free to take some changes
