New digikam website source available from KDE's git server

[Mica Semrick]

Greetings all,

I've pushed the migrated website to the KDE git server. The content
should be there, but I welcome anyone willing to help check it out
before the drupal site is retired. While Pat and I have done our best to
preserve all of the content, nothing is perfect; things like checking
links and making sure pages important to you are still there need to be
done.

The site is built using hugo (https://gohugo.io) and is available as a
single, pre-built binary.

To view the site locally:
1. Download or install hugo v0.19 and put the binary in your path
2. Check out the website source from git clone
git://anongit.kde.org/websites/digikam-org
3. cd /path/to/digikam-org
4. In a terminal, run the command "hugo serve" (no quotes).
5. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:1313

If you'd like to modify the theme:
1. cd digikam-org/themes/hugo-theme-digikam/scripts
2. npm install
3. bower install
4. npm run server
5. cd digikam-org
6. hugo serve

I'd like to make the gulp task for "npm run server" run hugo in the
digikam-org root instead of in digikam-org/themes/hugo-theme-digikam/
but have not found time to do so.

I'm working on making it easy to translate the site, there are strings
in the i18n folder. You can see the hugo website for more information
about running hugo and digikam-org/themes/hugo-theme-digikam/README.md
for a few more useful npm commands to build the site. At some point
these instructions will get more detailed and be available on the
digikam site.

The theme currently lacks character and is very boring. We'll be working
on it and are open to suggestions.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best,
Mica

Thank you for the great work so far, Mica! I'll start working on the
content ASAP. Meanwhile, a couple of quick thoughts.

- As Gilles said, a dark theme would be much better.
- The template definitely needs a good header.
- The Download link in the navigation bar should be more prominent. It
might be even better to add a download button to the right sidebar.
- The digiKam item in the left corner of the navigation bar is unnecessary.
- The digiKam Recipes Book and Donation links don't work right now.

That's all for now. :-) Keep up the great work!

Best,
Dmitri

I was tinkering with some ideas today, and I thought I would push them out to share... :)

I like the simplified layout of contents.

Can you try to generate a test version by staging.digikam.org ?

Hi all,

Some tunes have been done on :

https://staging.digikam.org

...and the beta version become suitable. It's not yet complete of course but for a first try, it's not to bad. This give also a global vision of how the new digiKam web site layout will be displayed.

Please take a look and comment. Thanks in advance

It looks good and the bits I tried seem to work.  The only real criticism is that I don't see a search option.  Other than that the banner on the top of the old site looks better than the plain top on the new one, but I can't get too excited about that.

Yay! :)

Mica made great headway yesterday on getting things looking much better.  Things are still in flux while he checks some stuff and modifies a few more styles.  The broken links have been updated and fixed - so there shouldn't be any bad links anymore (but by all means if someone finds one please let us know)!

[Gilles Caulier-4]

The slogan on header is the the right one.

This one have generated serious tedious threads, but we use this one since a while.

As we start a new web site, it's perhaps time to adjust the slogan. The question is open.

On the download section, there are too much text to read to find the right version.

When user show at the first time this page, it start to read contents and he discover a lots of text. A quick conclusion : it's complex to get the application.

Look in Marble :

https://marble.kde.org/install.php?

This exemple is more clear. Logo capture user vision on the right item : Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc...

This do not mean that current contents of page must be removed. The contents is important, but it must be designed differently...

Note : The contents come from older web site which have been designed step by step when time permit. This take age and it's not the main goal of this kind of project. This is why older web site was not perfect...

Another question ;

outside the fact that we need fresh screenshots, because it's very important to look how application have been designed and if it's well understable by end users, there is an important point to talk :

Where to store screenshots ?

The image, in PNG, need space. In the past, with different CMS (not only Drupal), the database used in background do not like very well a local storage of images. Sometime, screenshots disappears randomly.

This is why, all screenshots, since more than 10 years, are all stored to Flickr. Until now, this have not introduced a dysfunction. For all release, we trying to provide screenshots of new features. This point is very important to give a visibility of application in time.

I know that recently Flickr (Yahoo) has serious security issues. Perhaps we need to changes this rules. This is why i ask this question here. Personalty, i don't have any problem with Flickr. After all, there is an account to flickr for digiKam.org and only screenshots are hosted to this account.

To resume :

- screenshots stored in local or not ?

- If stored in local (git), this is acceptable by KDE team to overload the repository with this kind of huge data ?

Agreed!  This is one of the pages I was hoping to rewrite soon to be a little clearer.  I had written some small OS detection script I use on www.gimp.org to show the most likely relevant download to users when they visit the page - I could possibly re-use that here if you wanted.

Either way, the page is on the to-do list to re-write to be more direct and clear. :)

To resume :

- If stored in local (git), this is acceptable by KDE team to overload the repository with this kind of huge data ?

Re: Screenshots

I know that historically you've hosted your photos on Flickr.  This is fine, but I would personally suggest hosting them locally if possible.

The reason is that if Flickr, for any reason, goes dark - then you'll have a huge amount of dead images across your site.  I'd hate for that to happen!  Even worse, if the images aren't stored anywhere else then there's a chance you'll lose the mapping of what those images should be. :(

In git, we'll have them and won't have to worry about it (and we don't have to worry about a database not liking them on the backend anymore).

I don't think there's a _huge_ amount of files/sizes to worry about, but I guess it's up to Ben to let us know if that'll be ok.
