Want to do the Conboy website?

[conny]

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who would create a small website for Conboy. It should explain a bit how to use it, maybe show a screen cast for people who don't have it yet, list keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Nothing too big, probably just a single page but good looking if possible :)

There is a brand new Conboy version waiting in extras-testing at the moment. I could release it on the 2nd or 3rd of January. But if we could synchronize it with the website launch, I could wait a couple of days longer ;)

Someone interested?

Do you have the logo in a bigger size? Could be used as an illustration.

[conny]

The logo is available in bigger sizes, but it's the original Tomboy logo and I would prefere not to move away from it. So the best would also be a new Conboy logo/icon.

Here's a quick sketch - something like this perhaps?

I can help.

Where do you plan to host?

[FatalZero]

Sure, i'll help, I'm a UI designer by profession and a website designer for a hobby. I have hosting if you need it.

@markusm: Wow, that looks really cool already :) I think the blue version looks a friendlier, but I would leave the details to people who know what they're talking about ;)

I was thinking about hosting it on garage, where also the complete source code is hosted. The address would be: http://conboy.garage.maemo.org
Maybe not the sexiest URL, but for a small project like this it should be ok. And it's a maemo.org project after all.

I really like the layout that Marcusm proposed.
How about also adding FAQ/Help and Wishlist?

[conny]

FAQ/Help sounds good. Also I think a link to the bugtracker and a link to the main tmo thread would be nice. About the wishlist, I'm not sure. What kind of wishes were you thinking about?

Another thing would be a list of keyboard shortcuts, because they are not shown in the Fremantle UI, but can still be useful.

The automatic linking of URLs, email addresses, etc. is probably best shown using the screencast?!

I really like the layout and I would like to have everything on that page without using sub pages. Oh and it would be definitively a plus if that page would work nicely on the N900 and maybe even N810/N800 :)

[Pejman]

You are right. Wishlist won't be needed. There is only "one" wish I have ;-)
Support for Notebooks!

BTW, thanks Conny for great work.

Hopefully I can talk a friend into programming it. He needs that feature as well :)

BTW, thanks Conny for great work.
You're welcome :)

Markus, would you also do the HTML or is this something someone else should do?
Don't feel pushed, there is of course still time. I'm just asking :)

Thanks for your work!

I can do the HTML also :) Not that big a job. I'll make the content area 800px wide so it'll fit the N900 screen perfectly. I'll try to get something done during the next weekend - is that soon enough. Can't really promise anything before that.

Unless the design absolutely requires it, can't you make it fluid width? As users of devices with smaller-than-average-viewports we should be leading the charge against fixed width websites; not increasing them.

I can indeed :)

That would be awesome! Really, and the time is no problem at all :)
Guten Rutsch and happy new year !!!
