discussion
One thing i feel against usibility. The main page in left menu (in orange box) should be clickable. If you are on a subpage, everyone thinks that he can return to main page in the left menu and not only with the topmenu --Steffen Kamper 17:58, 20 June 2007 (CEST)
Question: Can you make it more clear? --Bodo Eichstaedt sure: http://typo3-reorg.t3o.punkt.de/overview/what-is-typo3/ , top of left menu "Overview" --Steffen Kamper Answer: OK, perhaps yes, even as it is the only orange box at that position.
Whats about the font-sizes ? If i look to the screenshot, we have 3 columns in content area with very small font. I don't know how it looks when font size is enlarged.
Is it scalable ?
Also general Question, whats about making the site mostly accessible ? As this become a main site of typo3 it would be very good reputation if the site is wellformed in any way. --Steffen Kamper 18:34, 20 June 2007 (CEST)
Answer: a) Page Home is just a graphical dummy (scaled down to fit!) and b) no one has put effords into font sizes (CSS) yet. Joey said: "1) Fonts/size/positions and everything is or will be fully scaleabble (em-based), 2) we use modern markup (so yes it is accessible)"
I know that, just a hint / question, Accessibility has some more issues than scalable fonts like menu markups etc., i wanted to know how you plan this. If you have to scale down the pic to fit you see the space is left for the texts. --Steffen Kamper 10:15, 21 June 2007 (CEST)
Noteby: this layout/CSS/... isn't by far fixed/final!!! --Bodo Eichstaedt 08:49, 21 June 2007 (CEST) sure - it's only discussion stuff. --Steffen Kamper 10:15, 21 June 2007 (CEST)
