navap: It's not uncommon for me to cycle through 2-3 languages during a single browsing session. I would prefer a language switched be made easily accessible.

ianmcorvidae: Even if I have Danish as my first language in my browser settings, I sometimes want to see sites in, say, English. Or Scots. Or Swedish/Norwegian. A per-site override is always appreciated.

(Though, granted, that per-site override *could* be handled by browser settings.)

ruaok goes to look at Gentlecat’s stuff
2014-05-07 12757, 2014
Gentlecat
I don't even know if it's any good at this point, so please share your thoughts
2014-05-07 12748, 2014
ruaok
yeah, reading the diff is really hard.
2014-05-07 12754, 2014
ruaok
looking at the site might be easier.

I’d personally like the thin orange bar to be thicker. maybe 2x.
2014-05-07 12734, 2014
ruaok
the orange links in the header are kinda weird.
2014-05-07 12754, 2014
ruaok
what is the default behaviour for the links in the navbar? maybe just stick to that?
2014-05-07 12750, 2014
ruaok
I think we ought to keep the orange/purple just in the header bar. I think that is what navap is going for as well.
2014-05-07 12713, 2014
ruaok
that said the orange <hr> like lines ought to go back to grey.
2014-05-07 12714, 2014
Gentlecat
yeah, I used his files as a reference
2014-05-07 12705, 2014
ruaok
and now that I look at it, I think we may want to remove btn-lg from the classes of the search in the header. the buttons seem a bit big for a header.
2014-05-07 12738, 2014
Gentlecat
I'm not using btn-lg class there, but will try to make form smaller
2014-05-07 12759, 2014
ruaok
ok, but you get the idea. :)
2014-05-07 12713, 2014
Gentlecat
yeah, it looks too big right now
2014-05-07 12715, 2014
ruaok
then I would tweak the link color to be slightly more purple.
2014-05-07 12734, 2014
ruaok
the blue is slightly out of the color scheme with the rest of the site.
2014-05-07 12702, 2014
ruaok
but, overall, I think you’re really close.
2014-05-07 12715, 2014
Gentlecat
try #002bba for links
2014-05-07 12723, 2014
Gentlecat
is this color better?
2014-05-07 12728, 2014
ruaok
I think if we put some of the other UI improvements in place and do another import we should be good to go for the larger community review
2014-05-07 12707, 2014
Gentlecat
I've been playing around with link colors, ones from MB look a bit distracting in some places
2014-05-07 12714, 2014
ruaok
#6600FF ?
2014-05-07 12727, 2014
ruaok
agreed on the main site link colors.
2014-05-07 12729, 2014
Gentlecat
discography on artist page, for example
2014-05-07 12744, 2014
Gentlecat
yeah, #6600FF looks good
2014-05-07 12733, 2014
Gentlecat
coming back to links in header, default colors become absolutely hard too see
2014-05-07 12725, 2014
Gentlecat
you don't like orange in hover state, right?
2014-05-07 12719, 2014
ruaok
its weird.
2014-05-07 12756, 2014
ruaok
what if we dim the colors in the header slightly and then when hover, go fiull white?
2014-05-07 12716, 2014
Gentlecat
try #e6e6e6 and white in hover

can you try it on mbsandbox?
2014-05-07 12701, 2014
Gentlecat
you want me to change that in sandbox for you?
2014-05-07 12709, 2014
Gentlecat
ok, give me a sec
2014-05-07 12742, 2014
Gentlecat
ruaok: done
2014-05-07 12747, 2014
ruaok
I’m not thrilled about it, but I think it will do for now.
2014-05-07 12752, 2014
ruaok
what do you think?
2014-05-07 12731, 2014
ruaok
I’d say call the styling done for now and move on with the other improvements.
2014-05-07 12743, 2014
ruaok
like more stuff on the home page and finding reviews...
2014-05-07 12750, 2014
Gentlecat
I feel like it's not changing enough there
2014-05-07 12710, 2014
Gentlecat
but yeah, we can adjust that later, maybe someone will have a better idea
2014-05-07 12749, 2014
Gentlecat
I pushed all changes, so you can take a look at PR now

I'd like to see our blog show up "within" MB when someone clicks the blog link, but you can't design your own theme when using wordpress.com :(
2014-05-07 12705, 2014
ruaok
you totally copies critiquebrainz! you ripoff!
2014-05-07 12710, 2014
ruaok runs away really fast
2014-05-07 12736, 2014

the opposite, actually
2014-05-07 12737, 2014

psh, the commit timestamp doesn't lie
2014-05-07 12742, 2014

what do you mean, within?
2014-05-07 12749, 2014
ruaok knows.

By "within" I mean when you click the blog link you're looking at the blog but you still see the MB navbar and footer even though you've moved to blog.musicbrainz.org
2014-05-07 12753, 2014
navap
Just to make the blog more integrated into the site
2014-05-07 12725, 2014
navap
But like I said all wordpress.com will allow us to do is customize css, and we have to pay them more to even be able to do that
2014-05-07 12755, 2014
navap
They only allow you to use the themes that are already available on wordpress.com
2014-05-07 12743, 2014
ruaok
got it. Yeah, its less than ideal.
2014-05-07 12709, 2014
ruaok
but given what I know of what hell wordpress becomes, I am not suprised that they limit things.
2014-05-07 12728, 2014
ruaok
wordpress has created one of the worst and most polluted ecosystems I’ve ever seen.
2014-05-07 12732, 2014
ruaok
its horrible, really.
2014-05-07 12707, 2014
ruaok
I would say, do the best you can with tweaking CSS and finding a theme that can look somewhat similar and just go with it.
what sorts of provisions do we need to make for the search server?
2014-05-07 12705, 2014
ruaok
do we need to build new indexes with the new codebase?
2014-05-07 12728, 2014
ruaok
or can we do a simple upgrade, with existing indexes and then build the new indexes as needed?
2014-05-07 12736, 2014
ijabz
Actually for the existing indexes I think the latest code should work with the current database and the new one (as it just ignores label and area aliases)
2014-05-07 12750, 2014
ijabz
so you could do a release BEFORE the schema release if that helps
2014-05-07 12717, 2014
ijabz
I think simple upgrade should be ok
2014-05-07 12726, 2014
ruaok
I think I will just build the new tables by hand once the code is in place.
2014-05-07 12732, 2014
ruaok
ok, that makes the release much much simpler.
2014-05-07 12741, 2014
ruaok
there are new index types being added, yes?
2014-05-07 12710, 2014
ijabz
Yeah so after the release you need to add instrument,editor and series to the list of indexes you want to create
2014-05-07 12755, 2014
ruaok
ok
2014-05-07 12732, 2014

ruaok: any tips on what I should put on "About" page besides project description?
