Showcase of alaveteli installs #1419

Closed crowbot closed 10 years ago

crowbot commented 10 years ago

Would be nice to have (on alaveteli.org or somewhere) a showcase of projects using Alaveteli - screenshots, a bit of info.

crowbot commented 10 years ago

We have https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/wiki/List-of-foi-websites-and-projects but it's a bit rough and ready.

@wrightmartin asks: "How much detail do we want? Do we want more information on some, rather than others?"

JenMysoc commented 10 years ago

@wrightmartin Ukraine - for the speed it was taken up in a difficult situation, Uruguay - because they managed to get a law changed and Spain - because they worked without an FOI law for a year

crowbot commented 10 years ago

Perhaps if we have specific stories to tell, now is a good time to tap @MyfanwyNixon and ask if she might have some time coming up to give the copy for the front page and showcase a bit of a look?

paullenz commented 10 years ago

Also Hungary because it has the most volume?

MyfanwyNixon commented 10 years ago

Happy to - actually I have a bit of content for Ukraine, which stalled a bit, but I can probably polish it up.

Here's a wireframe for this page. Each deployment has room for title, URL and description and screenshot, the most important 4 have a description too. The screenshot is the same for each one. Clicking the title, link or image would take you directly to the site, there are no deeper pages.

crowbot commented 10 years ago

I like it. Looks like you mean that each on has room for a title, url and country, and the others for a description? Also is the idea that we can have more rows of installs at the bottom as our world domination increases?

wrightmartin commented 10 years ago

@crowbot - yeah, we can add more quite easily. I've got another tweaked version on the way.

yes, country, not description twice. :P

Slight improvement, I felt like the last one needed a 'what now' bit at the end

crowbot commented 10 years ago

This looks good to me. I don't really have any other comments :)

garethrees commented 10 years ago

+1, looking really good.

What are your thoughts on the case where we have 11 installs? Would the single install in a row on its own look strange or break the flow? I'm guessing it will probably be okay, but worth considering.

wrightmartin commented 10 years ago

@garethrees Good point, that's always a concern. We could just tweak the css to make the last row 4 or 5 columns to push a few more onto that row, if it looks weird.

crowbot commented 10 years ago

Rolled out.
