Authors page redesign

[bpierre]

We need a redesign to allow more authors on this page. Maybe two blocks by line?

We also need to add a link to the articles written by an author.

[gregoiredierendonck]

Two alternatives for this page:

• The first one with only one author/line
• The second one with two author/line

Should be reviewed:

• Miss the "website" link
• Do you need the email contact to?
• I think that a signature at the bottom of the text is unnecessary... Am I wrong?

Next step:

• Contact form (and comments form too)

[bpierre]

Great! The first one (one author/line) seems to have a better readability in my opinion.

Miss the "website" link

I think this link is important if one want to know more about an author.

Do you need the email contact to?

Absolutely Sir, the email exceeds Twitter, at every level. :-)

I think that a signature at the bottom of the text is unnecessary... Am I wrong?

Agree. Also I think the position (e.g. “front-end developer”) feels clumsy and too “corporate” for the Website identity: we should remove it.

[kaneel]

Agreed with Pierre.

The first one is really better in my opinion.

And let's find funny position names. Like "Accessibility Knight" or whatever...

ps: I'm sorry, I really have to think about signing out of my company git account :D

[gregoiredierendonck]

Ok,

Also agree with you!

I clean the mockup as soon as possible!

In this page, do you want to keep the "Les Intégristes est un blog ouvert à tous, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour participer à sa rédaction" too?

[bpierre]

+1 for funny position names, better :-)

Another thing, I think we should make it more obvious that the contact form is on the authors page. Proposed solutions:

• Move the contact form on its own page (“Contact”)
• Rename the authors page (“L’équipe”? “À propos”?) :-/
• Don’t change anything on the page, but add a contact link somewhere, which directly leads to the contact form

I think it is important to say we are open to contributions, but this should not be here. Agree to remove it until this is discussed / we found a solution.

[ericlebihan]

I think we should be more "agressive" about the fact that we do are open to new contributors. Not only FE developpers but why not, Webdesigners UX/UI designers, Project Managers, BA Developpers (I can be interesting to have a point of view ieg on Server Side JS).

For me the last solution is the best. I mean that this "contact form" is not so important on that site to have a dedicated page.... Am I wrong? (Sincerely, did you frequently received email from this contact form?)

Rename this page can be good too. But the proposal names aren't... Don't know, not "just perfect" ! ;) (But also no better ideas at the moment)

[gregoiredierendonck]

@ericlebihan : I think that this box must staying on this page... We can designing it another way, more explicit. Perhaps can we also add a box in the column (in every pages) to say that too. (Warning, my first idea was to lighten this column...)

[ericlebihan]

I guess kaneel would call us "LE team"

I have had a job proposal once with this contact form :-) Once in 4 years...

I'm not ok about not mentionning the "author" of each presentation, or we have to rewrite it and make it approved by the whole team. I think also that the wonderful designer we have should be in the list!

I have no final view on that matter, ok to keep it if everyone agree. Should it be a required field?

Sure, Grégoire deserves a better visibility but he is not an author :-) If we add him, we really need to rename this page to something broader, like “L’équipe” (we already have a contact form on this page).

Alternatively, we could redesign the footer to improve the visibility of his name, or better, display his name somewhere in the new header.

[gregoiredierendonck]

Thanks a lot about having my name on the author's page! But I think that my place stay definitely in the footer... Fucking life! :( ;)

Totally agree to have to create an "author's article page". We have to make a specific design for this page, more apropriate.. Adding to "to-do list"!

I know I have nothing to say about it, but... I don't understand why having an "author" for each presentation on the "author page"... Nobody care about it except us! I think better to rewrite it and make it approved by the whole team...

[ericlebihan]

That was for the fun Grégoire, we are always working on the description for Gafour (Pierre and I), it's been a 4 years non stop brainstorming nightmare, but we're almost there ! :-)

If you want to rewrite the 2 first one, feel free to propose your version ! :-)

[ericlebihan]

Avec maintenant 4 auteurs "visibles" et bientôt six, on voit que les gros placards c'était bon pour deux, là ça ne fonctionne plus du tout... Je pense qu'il faut alléger tout ça. Les aplats beiges, vous aimez toujours vous ? Bof...

A voir avec le redesign global.

[gregoiredierendonck]

J'y travaille, j'y travaille... :) Désolé, ça prend un peu de temps, mais je suis sur le coup...!

[bpierre]

@ericlebihan et il y a des propositions au-dessus, qui tiennent compte de ces contraintes ↑
