05:03 < ChrisVP> hello... thought i'd offer my services... http://lvpmedia.com/
05:13 < pabs3> hi Chris
05:14 < pabs3> do you mean you are volunteering to create a new design for the synfig website?
05:14 < ChrisVP> if that's what you want
05:15 < ChrisVP> or if you want a new community site with Drupal (a la SpreadFirefox and the like) I can do that too
05:15 < pabs3> hmm, the current site uses darcness: darcness.org/
05:16 < pabs3> maybe you could post an email to the lists and start a discussion about it
05:17 < pabs3> a fresh design could be a useful thing to accompany the next release
05:17 < pabs3> mainly we need programmers, specifically a macos maintainer
05:17 < ChrisVP> i'm on OS X
05:18 < ChrisVP> but i know nothing about programming
05:19 < pabs3> ok. about design stuff, have you any ideas ? maybe something that works well with the existing logo
05:19 < pabs3> http://wiki.synfig.com/stylesheets/images/wiki.png
05:20 < ChrisVP> yeah that's a fantastic logo
05:20 < pabs3> gotta nick up to the shop, be back soon
05:20 < ChrisVP> ok
05:22 < ChrisVP> in terms of design, think more like Blender.org - the relaunch
05:22 < ChrisVP> obviously that's a similar site in terms of content, but it's a fantastic design
05:23 < ChrisVP> combine that with more communication (a better colour scheme) and a retooled layout
05:24 < ChrisVP> and, when the time came, a better area to show off user creations
05:25 < ChrisVP> i'm delving into marketing a bit now, but that'd also be a neat area to do a partnership with a video podcast such as Channel Frederator, one that showcases quality animation
05:28 < ChrisVP> a bit more complex than the Mozilla.com site
05:28 < ChrisVP> more communication oriented
05:29 < ChrisVP> but not nearly as complex as SpreadFirefox.com - although they use the Drupal platform that I would highly recommend
05:36 < ChrisVP> especially in a community/communication oriented situation like this
05:38 < ChrisVP> there could also be a tutorial section
05:39 < ChrisVP> put up some video tutorials to help new users
05:41 < pabs3> sounds like good stuff, as long as we can migrate the current data to the new system/design. a bit of promotion would be great too
05:42 < pabs3> twould be cool to have the same design scheme on the wiki (mediawiki) too 
05:43 < ChrisVP> yeah, mediawiki is (as far as i know) relatively easy to theme
05:43 < pabs3> do you happen to know which cms blender.org uses?
05:43 < ChrisVP> i know SuSE uses MediaWiki to manage the whole site
05:43 < ChrisVP> Typo3 i think
05:43 < ChrisVP> i wouldn't quote me on that
05:44 < ChrisVP> yes it's Typo3
05:50 < ChrisVP> i'd offer my assistance for building on OS X, but i'm too unreliable... and I don't know code
05:51 < pabs3> :) fair enough
05:51 < pabs3> the current osx packaging needs some work too
05:52 < ChrisVP> obviously you need someone to manage the builds before we'll see anything, but how long do you think until there will be a usable release for OS X
05:52 < ChrisVP> or any OS for that matter
05:53 < ChrisVP> perhaps usable was a bad choice of words
05:53 < ChrisVP> but you get what I mean, I hope
05:54 < pabs3> well, the new unofficial win32 build works well for me
05:54 < pabs3> and the debian package is ok
05:54 < ChrisVP> cool
05:54 < pabs3> its a matter of finding someone for osx, getting them to produce a usable package, then we can just release
05:55 < pabs3> if you want to join the synfig-user list, I'll be notifying it when there is a new osx package to test
05:55 < ChrisVP> if someone makes up a shell script and it doesn't require any interaction on my part, i'd be delighted to do it until you get someone permanent
05:55 < pabs3> should probably do the same for the unofficial svn win32 package
05:55 < ChrisVP> heck I don't even know if a shell script will accomplish the task
05:56 < ChrisVP> (using my limited dev knowledge)
05:56 < pabs3> :) I think there is a script that does that, don't have access to a mac to test it though
05:56 < ChrisVP> cool
05:57 < ChrisVP> i'm away for the remainder of this week, no mac.. but if you want me as a temp builder, that's no problem
05:57 < ChrisVP> i'll join the list, and all my contact info is at the http://lvpmedia.com/ site
05:58 < ChrisVP> but for now i'm gonna head out, it's tomorrow in 3 minutes
05:58 < ChrisVP> i'll be in touch
