ixxie: sure, go ahead and try out the stuff you think would work best :) -- makefu!~makefu@v22017054592348908.powersrv.de, Mon Oct 9 21:05:02 UTC 2017

ixxie: the new structure of the Nix Language Page looks good to me -- makefu!~makefu@v22017054592348908.powersrv.de, Mon Oct 9 21:28:38 UTC 2017
<fadenb>
yes but unfortunately only checking it from time to time.
<fadenb>
Next year my work load will be less and I will have more time ;)
<makefu>
ixxie: before making it "official" i'd really love to have the current wiki config and data available in a shared place. Just in case fadenb becomes unavailable for some reason or another :)
<samueldr>
if there's anything cheesy to do with vaporwave or "that futuristic 80s looks", in the dark box on the front page it could work
<samueldr>
like some sites have full height landing pages
<samueldr>
(I'll try the navbar like that on my fork during lunch)
<samueldr>
we can probably afford being fancy on the home page
<samueldr>
the other pages, imho, should stay dark on light
<samueldr>
(like it is right now)
<ixxie>
thats no what I might
<ixxie>
meant
<ixxie>
I meant keep the color theme the same
<ixxie>
but just use a retro font on the Nix/OS/etc logos
<ixxie>
I just realized that our current color theme would fit it
<ixxie>
hold on
<ixxie>
I will make a mockup
<ixxie>
samueldr: if you have seen the new star trek series, it also steers in that direction
<ixxie>
btw - I think the column headers (getting started / community) are a bit redundant; I would remove them and rename 'get in touch' as 'community' as well as rename 'manuals' as 'documentation' (this is more general and allows us to later add wiki-internal docs into that box)
<ixxie>
(same about the NixOS Wiki header)
<ixxie>
gosh 80s style logo design is much harder than it looks

zarel: i've wanted to seed the MIPS image, however it does seems like it is not seeded by anybody else. -- makefu!~makefu@v22017054592348908.powersrv.de, Mon Oct 9 21:11:59 UTC 2017
<ixxie>
hmm
<ixxie>
samueldr: I am concerned that the font I used for the logos is too narrow compared to what is used on nixos.org and nixos.wiki
<samueldr>
the font used by the wordmark does not have to affect the fonts used on the site
zarel has quit [(Quit: Leaving)]
zarel has joined joined #nixos-wiki
<ixxie>
samueldr: technicially it doesn't, but they have to match aesthetically
