Hi,
I took Máirín's Fedora Accounts page mockup
(http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/webdesign/FAS/fas-2_reskin.png) and
applied some changes:
http://yipyop.com/fedora/images/fedora_accounts01.png
'Tasks' and 'My Groups Summary'
- A grey value hierarchy defines the section boxes.
- A light grey background makes this content secondary to the main content.
- Lines and bullets are removed.
- Content is indented to make section headers scanable.
- Numeric data is in a right-aligned column, using a single font size
and style.
- Type hierarchy:
Box Header (larger font size, bold)
Section Header (standard font size, bold)
content (standard font size, indented)
"More..." links (standard font size, italic)
'Account Status' and 'Pending Requests'
- Headers use a larger font size to indicate main content.
- 'Account Status' content is a larger font size to indicate primary info.
- Secondary links are a standard font size and in brackets.
- Box borders and vertical chart lines are removed to simplify sections.
- Icons are simplified.
Search area
- "Search" is moved to the input field, to be replaced by query.
- Elements are reordered for context.
- "Advanced Search" is aligned left. Users can quickly choose between
regular or advanced search from the start.

Looks great to me :)
Is FAS2 written with turbo gears? If it is, then I think implementing
something like this should be a matter of creating a CSS style sheet,
which I'd be willing to have a crack at. I'd also be interested in
implementing this across Fedora's other websites too (i.e. the
highlighted menu entries and the big ACCOUNTS in the top right) - what
do people think?
I'd also like to seperate core navigation from individual tool links
on the right by adding a top-bar...
Best,
Jon

+1!
We had a preliminary design for that, see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Spins/Mockups
(needs a little work)
We could do this on the subpages and leave the top line on www.fpo
as-is. And integrate the login info into the bar as well.

I might need a little help with the login info, but I might try and
hack the rest of it together this evening :)

I'll help integrate this into all of our turbogears apps when you're
ready for that.

Do you have source for this? I want to add the bar with the login and
links to other fpo sites on the top.

I do in Photoshop (ducking from flying bottles). The left nav and header
are from your mockup. I have the main content in layers, and could save
as pieces if you like. Attached are the icons in case you want 'em.

If it helps
any, I *think* GIMP opens some version of photoshop files
(I'm not familiar with any specifics, though).

I've never had trouble opening PSDs in Gimp at all (not that I've ever
worked with many ;-) ) Mike, if you can make the PSD available I can try
to convert it to XCF and put it up on the wiki?

You're right, GIMP imported it with hardly a problem. I cleaned up a
couple of uncooperative layers. Here's the XCF.

I understand the websites list is not a good place for such kind of
reply, but I think it is an useful advice: compressinging with bzip2 or
gzip is a much better choice for such files (even if the compression
rate is about the same):
- you can create the archive easily, just "save as" from Gimp and put a
.xcf.bz2 or .xcf.gz extension;
- you can open the files easily, just double click on them (in Nautilus)
and they will automatically be opened in Gimp (or drag them from desktop
in the Gimp window in any OS, I believe);
- Nautilus recognize them as images and will generate thumbnails.

Thanks Nicu, I didn't know about the GIMP's archiving feature. My only
concern is that people using other apps that import GIMP files won't be
able to open the archived file automatically.

What other apps would those be, though? I don't think that's a very
common use case, so I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case scenario they
need to extract the XCF before opening it.

You two are right, I'm not thinking straight this morning. Remembering
now that I have to export as PNG or something anytime I need to open
files in other apps anyway. :)
