Comments for Sean:

1. can we make the "see a tutorial here" and mozilla labs personas logo (top left) open up new windows, instead of navigating away from the competition page?

2. can we bold the tabs on the top?

3.  Under the "How it Works Section" Sept 22-Oct 6 copy has been revised to:

Community voting period!  The 10 Persona designs with the most active daily users (ADUs) at the end of the competition advance to the finals.

What is an active daily user (ADU)? An active daily user is a person that selects and keeps your Persona design in their browser. Once a day, we count the number of people that have selected and kept your design in their browser since their last browsing session. This number is your designs number of ADUs, which is displayed in the gallery under your design.

I added the new judge alan bamberger, except his job title was missing from comment #16

Azehren, could you choose a job title please?

Comment 19

[Alex Buchanan [:abuchanan]]

Oh, I see now that the portrait images have a fancy little clip at the bottom, Sean do you want to handle that for the new portrait?

Comment 20

[Suneel]

Sean, 

Sharing this with c-beard and others, there is some concern with the order of the "celebrity judges", mainly that a user needs to scroll down to discover non-Mozilla judges. Could we do one of the following:

1. Present thumbnails of each judge across a row at the top of the page. Underneath each thumbnail, we should also include name and title. Thumbnails and name should link to each user bio. Also open to a simpler version of this option (eg, no thumbnail, just linked name and title) if necessary.

OR

2. If option 1 is not manageable, let's reorder the judges in a way that allows non-celebrity judges to be more discoverable.

Comment 21

[Sean Martell]

I set them in alphabetical order so there would be no concern for the order based on celebrity status.  A reorder would be best considering the timeline, but under what criteria should we order them now?

Is option 1 under Comment 20 possible? If so, then sticking with alphabetical order should work fine. If not, perhaps alphabetical order by first name is the next best option. Open to other ideas.

Comment 23

[Alex Buchanan [:abuchanan]]

I think changing the design, css, and html at this point is too much.  my 2 cents.

reordering by first name solves the problem and would take < 1 min.

Attachment: Portrait of 5th Judge

Final judge portrait attached.

Comment 25

[Sean Martell]

I would recommend first name sort as well.

Added UI also bumps all the bios lower below the fold on the page as well, and since there are only five, it isn't that heavy a scroll page.

Comment 27

[Suneel]

ok. let's go with first-name sort. 

also, seems that this bug has scoped beyond the legal page to really all
details of the landing page. just so we have clear tracking, I'm changing
"legal" to "landing" in the summary.

Thanks.

[Catherine C. Brady]

Section 4 "Eligibility" - 4th paragraph, last line: "Contest is open only to individuals. Contest is not open to companies, educational institutions, organizations, etc. Students may not enter any work or design that is part of any work done for such institutions and which that institution may claim ownership."  

Correct typo: should read "... and for which that institution may claim ownership".  Add "for" between "and" and "which".

Section 7 "How to Enter" & Section 18 "Name of Winner" - when I click on the link, http://www.getpersonas.com/contest, I get a 404 error.  Maybe 'cause the site isn't live yet? Though the other links seem to be working.

Otherwise looks good.

Comment 32

[azehren]

Section 9:  "JUDGING AND SELECTION OF WINNER" -7th pharagraph:  "The Finalists will be notified on or about Sept 5, 2009." 

Correct verbiage should be:  "The Finalists will be notified on or about Oct 10, 2009."

May have one more change.

Comment 33

[azehren]

Section 9:  "JUDGING AND SELECTION OF WINNER" -1st par:  "All the Entries will be available on the Persona website from September 22, 2009 through October 6, 2009."

Correct verbiage should be:  "All the Entries will be available on the Persona website from September 22, 2009 through October 6, 2009."  (change 22 to 11)

Comment 34

2 Changes to the "HOW IT WORKS TAB" on the landing page:

1) Sep 11-18 should be changed to "Sept 11-18) 

The abbreviation for September is Sept. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_abbreviation_of_September

I'm working on updating everything in this bug now, should have it done in an hour or two.

bug 504226 (the custom upload form) is more complicated, as it's blocked on figuring out a backend issue, bug 513811.  I'm hoping to have that wrapped up mid next week.

Comment 39

Comment 40

[Alex Buchanan [:abuchanan]]

With r51041, all pages under http://sm-personas01.mozilla.org/en-US/student/ should be valid xhtml 1.0 strict, and a couple CSS issues fixed.

I'm working on fixing some of the getpersonas.com links throughout the pages, but I need to figure out how the URL Alias and Rewrite rules work.

Comment 41

[azehren]

Thanks Alex.  

All the links are working.  

On the homepage, in the 2nd paragraph, can you move the "(" down so that it is right before (see a tutorial here...)  It looks odd alone like it is. 

Catherine/Suneel, do you have any comments?

Considering this is for community members, is not intended to drive downloads and Personas only gets about 0.5% IE users, I recommend not bothering with IE 6 and basic support for IE7/8.

Nope.

Comment 48

[azehren]

Few additional comments:

# Homepage
    * The font on the homepage is a bit tiny and hard to read. Not a blocker, but would be good if we could raise the font a point.

# How It Works
    * under Sep 11-18, the word "here" should be hyperlinked
    * under Sep 11-18, the "follow this easy to use tutorial" should open a separate tab
    * under Sep 11 - Oct 6, Paragraph 2: Please change the last sentence "Once a day, we count the number of people that have selected and kept your design in their browser for more than 24 hours." to "Once a day, we count the number of people that have selected and kept your design in their browser for more than 24 hours.'the most active daily users (ADUs) at the end of the competition. (October 6)"

# Celebrity judges

    * Can we give the judges more visibility by including their names at the top, hyperlinked to their bios below?

Comment 49

[Sean Martell]

In regards to the bio page, I would say we shouldn't add any design/layout changes at this point.

Comment 50

The following date changes need to be made:

Actually, per the XHTML 1.0 strict doctype, it's bad to open links in new tabs.  Basically the argument is that if users want it open in a new tab, they should know how to do it themselves, and otherwise the normal flow of browsing should be kept by not forcing open new windows/tabs.

I'm not sure where I sit on the issue, as I haven't encountered it until now.
   
Ryan, any thoughts on target="_blank"?  

We could,

1) stick to xhtml strict
2) use it anyway, and degrade the doctype to xhtml transitional or other
3) there is a javascript workaround (hack) that I'd rather not use

>     * under Sep 11 - Oct 6, Paragraph 2: Please change the last sentence 
"Once a day, we count the number of people that have selected and kept your design in their browser for more than 24 hours."

"Once a day, we count the number of people that have selected and kept your design in their browser for more than 24 hours.'the most active daily users (ADUs) at the end of the competition. (October 6)"

Sorry, I couldn't make sense of this one, could you clarify?

(In reply to comment #51)

It's a relative link, so it will point at getpersonas.com/ when the site goes live.

Apologies, the feedback wasn't clear and was pointed at the wrong sentence. We just need to change "The 10 Persona designs with the most active daily users (ADUs) at the end of the competition advance to the finals." to "The 10 Persona designs with the most active daily users (ADUs) at the end of the voting period (October 6th) advance to the finals."
