The breadcrumbs normally work through the main navigation menu structure hierarchy.

Done. Please check if the setup is ok for you.

Added breadcrumbs through plug-in as core ones were not working. They are not adjusted yet! -> http://apertus-d8-dev.w4f.eu/drupal8/products

Done.

Changed background to #e1e1e1 for now, but i prefer the previous lighter gray (#f4f4f4) better.

See comments.

Modified the page a bit, so the buttons are positioned right. What is the intention after all?

Another reference: http://getbootstrap.com/migration/

".row-fluid has been removed from Bootstrap 3 onwards. The above question refers to versions of Bootstrap prior to 3" -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16158176/twitter-bootstrap-how-to-use-row-fluid-class-properly

Bootstrap theme was installed as-is, apertus° theme is just derived from it, no modifications were done to original classes. Have to investigate it.

Probably yeah. Sensible like.

Really dislike the grain. Flat is in really.

Charts: Maybe we can really use http://www.chartjs.org or similar and re-style it to our needs, e.g. rotate bars at 45 degrees, like the first image (second one gives 404 now) in my previous answer. Advantage is the usage of small dataset to drive it, as image editing can become very tedious over time.

Yeah when I did a mock for status updates it naturally gravitated to a bar chart structure.

Out of 233 responses - The most popular brand of lenses mentioned were Canon and Nikon. Of the 302 lenses mentioned 52% were Canon, 24% were Nikon, 12% were Sigma and the rest were a mixture of Pentax, Olympus, Tamron, Tokina, Minolta and a couple of others.

First concept for the new graphic. We should suggest wich mounts we want to show. What are the most popular?

Actually the first step would be to update mediawiki to the latest version which does not seem possible with the current server OS IIRC. So first step is moving the webserver to a new one....

"first step is to make it proper HTML/XML/CSS whatever, then it makes sense to see where it fails" - Bertl.

Great!

I'll probably want to further hone this, but I changed several things on the page.

Leave the html/layout to me.

Try that. I failed to get the image not to clip on the right hand edge.

Ah yeah I agree, but if manufacturers aren't willing to enter dialogue why should we promote them.

I also have the experience that email contact doesnt work. It doesnt mean they are not interested in dialog all together though. For example establishing contact at faires and trade shows worked like a charm so far.

@sebastian: I suggest I make a first draft with some lenses from web search to see how it works, in the second step we should than create our own lens pictures.

Perfect!

I should point out here, a month ago I took the initiative to contact seven lens manufacturers no less with a view to obtaining IP clearance. One was a direct introduction from someone I know in lenses. The aim would have been to form the basis of a mutual relationship and perhaps acquire lenses on loan for promo purposes in the future (although that wasn't suggested in my emails). These approaches were part of a brief I was compiling with respect to which brand we might prefer to feature as standard. So, large and small, established and newer marques. We got no responses and frankly, it made me lean towards the prospect of our using non-brand-specific lens depictions in promo.

We can simple take pictures ourselves :)

Hi Sebastian, I see a big problem here. Where can we get legal pictures of 4 to 5 lenses. All stock-sites don't sell pictures with brands on it. So there is no chance to get e.g a Canon lens.
We have no permission to use pictures from the manufactures themselves, also i doubt they give them to us (because we show different brands close together).

perfect, thats why I wrote "aspect ratio" and not resolution :)

Yes. Couple of weeks max I'd imagine, the way things are.

Looks quite nice, will keep it unless we find any issues, bugs.

unfortunately http://www.mediawikibootstrapskin.co.uk is only available for money.

Could you take care of this please?

BAndiT1983> i'm missing a little bit breadcrumbs in apertus wiki
<BAndiT1983> or to be precise, categories
<BAndiT1983> like in normal wiki at the bottom, so one can look up all the things in the category in one go
<BAndiT1983> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter
<BAndiT1983> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Color_filter_array
<Bertl> did you try adding a Category:xxxx link?
<BAndiT1983> i would never find registers without the link from Bertl
<Bertl> that's how wikipedia does it IIRC
<BAndiT1983> apertus wiki doesn't seem to be categorized
<RexOrCine> There was a version two main page list that came up at one point, but it never got implemented.
<BAndiT1983> this is appended in the normal one -> Category:Digital photography
<BAndiT1983> Category:Image sensors
<BAndiT1983> Category:Color filter array

• arpu (~arpu@178.165.131.71.wireless.dyn.drei.com) has joined

<RexOrCine> https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php?title=NewMain_Page
<RexOrCine> Came up here - https://lab.apertus.org/T122
<BAndiT1983> oha, much better
<Bertl> so you don't like the colorful blocks on the current main page?
<RexOrCine> That would mean abandoning the images on the main page, which I'd probably disapprove of, but it would be good to have an option available for people to reconfigure things
<BAndiT1983> you don't have to abandon images, but we should consider to add categories
<RexOrCine> I agree.... I even thought that new main page might be good at the bottom of the main page, but there were warning signs attached, and I didn't know what to make of that ie. "Don't edit this or it'll break"
<BAndiT1983> seems to work, i get Categories: Beta Hardware | Registers at the bottom
<BAndiT1983> we need just meaningful names for that stuff, then it's much easier to move in the same area to get more info
<Bertl> so what's the problem then? :)
<BAndiT1983> i don't know where the parts belong to, you said it's partially from alpha
<Bertl> in general, you can assume that everything which doesn't explicitely say 'Beta' somewhere is ffrom the Alpha
<Bertl> *from*
<BAndiT1983> https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/CMV12000_Register_Blocks
<BAndiT1983> there should be 2 categories at the bottom as test
<BAndiT1983> don't know why the category pages are editable, they usually shoudn't be
<Bertl> you can lock pages down, probably that's what wikipedia does
<BAndiT1983> the page has to be created once, just entered summary and and content as "Registers"
<BAndiT1983> now they should stay blue

I notice it doesn't show poll creation in recent activity.

https://lab.apertus.org/home/ is the same as https://lab.apertus.org but without the left menu sidebar.

You wanna make sure you use /home on the end of the lab link is what I've come to realise.

If someone works out the Phabricator menu on mobile, and clicks on home, they're met with a welcome message. The first link is "Existing questions" - leads to "No results found"

This is a format problem with gif (which indeed only has a 1 Bit Alpha channel). A fix for this would be to use APNG, which sadly isn't supported by Chrome (Google wants to push their own WebP format). Another way would be to not use transparency but to gif it the same background color as the sidebar, that way we could circumvent the format limitations.

I've always disapproved of auto-DM's on Twitter, however, I've decided to employ it through Crowdfire. You'd sign in with API permissions on a desktop and configure 'Auto-DM's at the bottom of the settings menu. I'll email you the message with all corresponding links when I'm done.

love the bubbles to attract attention, the animated gif looks very "blocky/pixelated" (missing antialiasing maybe?) though.

I think for me the problem was the following:
In order to know if I can/want to participate, I have to have a better insight into current topics and tasks. I even read the "Join the team site", but for me it was still necessary to know if I could even contribute in a way that doesn't create more work for existing team members, before deciding on things.

I cleaned up the sidebar of www.apertus.org a bit and removed the donation banner and replaced it with a lab invitation.

Very interesting insight.
Do I assume correctly that you did see the Participate -> AXIOM Lab link on the main website but without context (what the hell could happen in an AXIOM lab?) you did not consider it interesting enough to check out?

https://www.apertus.org/history still does not cover the alpha .

"...with a short screenshot of said question beeing discussed in the labs"

@sebastian i can try, but earliest next weekend.

installation complete - it doesnt work.

Sebastian said morrigan installs it on http://notes.apertus.org/
