Web Tools

Yes, I explained above what is initiative.place (French LSC association) and Stacco explained who is the owner of http://europeancommonsassembly.eu/ (P2PF) :)

And now I can explain that I thought Javier would only buy the domain name and I started working on the blog initiative.place whithout knowing that Javier would create also a blog on P2PF server... So now we just have to choose where the final website should be hosted (I don't care).

For me it will be better to host the blog in P2PF server with the right domain name and move the contents in it.

Hey Julien,

Sorry about the confusing comments - the domain name on the pad was just to share our idea. It wasn’t bought in advance - it was meant to be followed up on. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Nicole

OK, the first version of the site is online at the URL http://europeancommonsassembly.eu/ (and the old URL was deleted).
@fredericsultan you have an account to modify the contents (Stacco and Javier also)

Do we have a specific e-mail address for the contact link ?

The logo is a proposal coming from the french one : http://assembleedescommuns.org/

Hi @maiadereva1, thanks for the proposal.
For me the baseline of the logo does't match. The process is more about solidarity between commoners and politicisation than governance of the commons. Pehaps it will be better to discuss some proposals and validate or confirme them in the list of discussion (also because less than 15 people are already in loomio) before to publish it in the website.

Sure @fredericsultan , everything is a draft on this site and should be discussed and modified. Anyway, I deleted the baseline.

Hello friends, I'd like to give my feedback on the very impressive website draft @maiadereva1 has put together. These are my proposals for modifications/additions. Everything I don't mention basically looks great to me. I will number my comments to facilitate discussion

Modifications

• ** 1) Lead image** I would overlay "European Commons Assembly + whatever subtitle is chosen" in dropshadow with high visibility/legibility over the background image.
• ** 2) Start button** Needs to be fully visible. Bigger/bolder font
• 3) "Lined-paper" background I personally dislike it and would go with a plain white or light grey background. I'm fine with using the same textured stock-grey-paper background, but without the school lines.
• ** 4) "Call for a European Commons Assembly" and other headers** Need to be bigger and bolder.
• ** 5) Main body font** I would change the font to a bigger and more legible serif type.
• ** 6) Bolding important subheadings/concepts** I think that standout sentences such as "Our experiences of commoning", "As commoners:" and "We call for" should be bolded.
• ** 7) Margins** I think we need much bigger margins to center the text. Think of the dimensions it would have if there was a sidebar, that'd be the optimum for legibility. Take a the average dimensions for Medium post, for example.
• ** 8) Blog preview in Landing page** I think this is fine, but we have to think about how many posts to limit it to, if we want a "Read more", to show extracts, etc. TBD.
• ** 9) Blog posts/Dynamic content** (See here for example** Same suggestions as for the Landing page regarding background, font and spacing. I'd also make the default titles bigger and bolder. I'd get rid of "Archives" in the sidebar.
• ** 10) Language** Rather than have the FR version be displayed under the "Call for a European Commons Assembly" tab, I'd make another Tab/dropdown with ENG/FR/ES etc.

Additions

• 11) Partners I guess we need a grid to list partner organizations (Logo + hyperlink)
• 12) Resources/Wiki We need to feature an intuitive way to get to the wiki. (Also within the sidebar in blogposts etc)
• ** Lucky 13! Sign the Call!** We need a signatures plug in or box for people to sign as individuals and/or organizations. This could, perhaps, be places under the call itself in the front page.

There are also some tweaks (the contact form, hyperlinks in nav bar) that need looking at. Most of these UX/aesthetic suggestions are totally subjective of course, so let's discuss this.

I agree with all your suggestions @staccotroncoso
I proposed this draft with the idea of Agile software development principles : "Quickly realize something operational, and then improve it".
So now the work really begins ;)
And I think maybe we should use another WP theme (why not the P2PF one ?) because that free one risks to be too much limited to make improvements.
