Note: staging1.drupal.org is not yet fully mimicking the state developers have been working with. We are still ironing out the upgrade process. Please use the temporary site http://drupalredesign.testing-zone.net/ in the mean time.
Who can do this: Anyone who has an eye for detail.
The idea: The site at staging1.drupal.org is going to become the new Drupal.org website. When it’s launched, we want it to look exactly like the mockups that Mark Bolton has written for us. So, we need people to compare the mockups with the staging1.drupal.org and submit bug reports for anything that’s not working the way that it should be.
What you need:
*A browser
*Recommended: a wide-screen monitor or dual monitor setup.
- Go to the mockups prototype site in one browser window. (http://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/prototype.html)
- Pick one that you want to evaluate.
- Open the same page on the dev site (which is at http://staging1.drupal.org/) in a separate browser window. (Widescreen or dual monitors are helpful.)
- Compare the look of the dev site with the mockup site. Is there anything missing? Is there any functionality that should be there that isn’t?
- If you find something, submit an issue.
How to submit a new issue:
- Go to Drupal.org/node/add/project/issue
- Select Drupal Project > Drupal.org infrastructure from the drop-down menu.
- Click Next.
- Under Component, select “Drupal.org Theme” for user interface issues (how it looks).
- Under Component, select “Drupal.org module” if it’s a functionality issue.
- Select the proper Issue information. Probably it will be:
Category: bug report (if it’s something that’s not implemented yet, it might be a task instead)
Priority: normal
Assigned: Unassigned - Leave the status as active.
- Under issue Details, fill out a Title and Description.
How to create a good title: It’s got to be something that they have a pretty good idea of what the issue is just by reading the title. It’s how someone knows what to look at (prioritize) the work that they’re doing on d.o.
How to write a good description: Write a step-by-step reproduction of the problem.
What URL you went to, exactly what you clicked to create the problem.
Describe what should have happened and describe what did happen.
Try not to tell HOW to fix the problem, focus instead on what happened. - Now scroll down the page and select tags. Do not use quotes around the tags.
You MUST tag it with “drupal.org redesign”.
If it is under the Component > Drupal.org Theme then tag it with “bluecheese theme”.
Other common tags: design, usability, accessibility. Pick the right ones. - Click ”Save“.
