[Fwd: Re: refreshed website soft launched]

[Michelle Ziegmann]

Dear Fluid team,

Hello - I'm new to the list, crossing over from the Opencast website.  I 
wanted to comment that the new Fluid site looks great!  A very inspiring 
look and organization.  I did want to bring to your attention the way 
this renders in an iPhone browser though (image attached).  Minor CSS 
issues I think, and not sure if that's a priority for you, but wanted to 
make sure you were aware.

I'm also wondering where is the best place for you to link to the 
"Opencast partners".  Recently, we've been trying to make some 
distinctions on the site between Opencast Community and the Opencast 
Matterhorn Project (the build project).  The page you currently link to 
lists all community members (anyone who submitted a profile of their 
organization, anyway).  Not all of these organizations are "partners" in 
the build project.  I don't know if this distinction is important to 
you, or if it's your intention to focus on your membership as part of 
the larger community.  But I wanted to let you know that we do have a 
separate page available that lists the Matterhorn Partners 
(http://www.opencastproject.org/project/matterhorn_partners).

Also, as the Opencast site administrator, I also wonder if there's a way 
I can help populate the Opencast page in Fluid.  Would an RSS feed of 
the partner organizations be helpful?

You asked for it...  :-)


On the "About Us" page (at least on my monitor), the "Out Mission" has  
enough information to require a scroll bar on the page, and "Contact  
Us" does not. In this case, switching back and forth between these two  
tabs causes the central block of info to shift to the left and right  
according to whether or not the scroll bar is present. This is a wee  
bit disconcerting.

On the "Partners" page, the "Fluid Academic" and "Opencast" tabs have  
a similar presence/absence of a scrollbar, but the disconcerting  
shifting doesn't happen.

If you could find out what's different between the styles on the two  
pages, and modify the "Our Mission" pages to eliminate the shifting,  
that would be nice.
