We want a large schedule grid accessible during the festival. This should be linked prominently on the site.
OS: Mac OS X → Windows XP

I have that big button in mind - seems we can replace the banner (or part of it) during the festival - how does that sound?

As for, the look an functionality of the schedule page; though I am aware of this, it is not something I have a design for yet.
Good re: big button. And can probably kill the register button or make it less prominent a day or two before festival. 

In terms of design, there is both a visual and editing challenge. Visual is just make it look good. Editing is let us change it all the time. 

Two most likely editing methods are:

1. Somehow pull in the table from the wiki in real time / on a schedule. 

or

2. Build it around a google spreadsheet that's embedded in the page. 

Need your advice re: what's workable and will look good. Could be there is another option.
I think the google spreadsheet would be the better option - pretty sure I would be able to read the data out of it rather then having to embed it directly (ie: more controlled design on our end)
Can you try it based on that, mock that up. I can dump the wiki data into whatever spreadsheet you set up.
will do - I will try to get to this mid next week.
Update from Mark via email:

"
I'm now convinced that we should stick w/ wiki for the schedule

Nathan:

Can you help find a volunteer who can make the wiki schedule look better, and probably garden it throughout?

Ned:

Can we just pull the HTML table from the wiki once cleaned, include on drumbeat.org when you launch, and also include a high profile link at top saying 'MOST UP TO DATE SCHEDULE IS HERE ON THE WIKI'?

Whiteboard: festival → festival, live
The schedule is now live:

https://www.drumbeat.org/festival/schedule

I think it might need a bit of introductory text beyond "See also: Program Activities Wiki and Festival Space Map"

This also need translating: Toni and Guilermo- I just checked this into your svn (have fun)
I would like to update the schedule copy on the Program page to point to the schedule:

something along the lines of:

"
SCHEDULE

<link>Check schedule</link> for details on exactly what's going to happen.  You can also <link>read the activities page</link> on the wiki for more detailed information.
"

does that work for you?
^^^ old copy was:


SCHEDULE

Want to know exactly what's going to happen? You can see the draft schedule here on the Festival wiki. We're still evolving the details — but the general themes and style of sessions will give you a feel for what's going to happen. You can also read the activities page on the wiki for more detailed information.

I went ahead and made the update.

Toni and Guillermo: this needs translating. Thanks!
I just updated the big green "Register" button to point to the schedule (and say schedule).

I also hid the Registration tab.

Toni and Guillermo: please translate the updated register.php in your en folder of your svn.
updated ca
@ Ned: 

* See Bug 609271 - Kill "web page" version of Festival Schedule -- use wiki version instead 
* as per Mark's comment 6: "I'm now convinced that we should stick w/ wiki for the schedule"
* Please re-direct big green "schedule" button link accordingly
the button is now pointing to the wiki.

Toni and Guillermo; I updated the link in ES and CA as well and updated your svn with the new register.php bits.

Please translate.

It's no longer on the nav so its not the most important thing
