Campaign website

@praveenarimbrathod Added. Hope you have received the password via mail.

@nandajavarma found it in my spam! @manukrishnantv I guess diaspora team need to set SPF and DKIM for us.

@nandajavarma @manukrishnantv SPF record is set. Nandaja, can you folks install Youtube embed plugin? it is asking for ftp password.

@praveenarimbrathod I have installed the Youtube embed plugin.

@nandajavarma thanks!

@nandajavarma can you add "the day we fight back" plugin?

@abidaboobaker moving the discussion here. warchild campaign site looks good. Take your time, we'll work on the content in the meantime.

@praveenarimbrathod :) Will come back with a theme asap.

Just discuss about platform - Drupal/Wordpress?

@abidaboobaker I think Drupal is too heavy for this campaign. But you can take a call on it.

just had a look-see on the site, very nice. Looks very clean. Also loaded pretty fast.

Would suggest that the theme be light and perhaps transparent with content coming on top.

The theme could be flag of India in flowish manner and Diaspora logo sitting besides or on top or on bottom.

The idea would be to have mix of both the concepts and people get that it's to make the movement and up-take national and not to certain places only.

Just a #suggestion.

Since diaspora server was having capacity problems, we had taken the site down. I think its better to have a static site (server already has ruby and loading php for just this sites is not worth it). We can use #diasporayatra tag for updates. I'm building a new bootstrap site right now. Let me know if anyone like to help.

You can see the code at https://gitlab.com/piratemovin/diasporayatra send pull requests.

We have to add more details to the site. Contact section should list loomio page, events section should mention meetup.com/diaspora (say we are using meetup.com temporarily as we are still building events feature in diaspora). Fund Raising section should link to the indiegogo page. Mention how people can contribute somewhere. Update website, post of social media, create posters, coordinate events etc.

I have sent a merge request adding gulp.js tasks to the site.

@akshay thanks! I have accepted the merge request and added you to the team - you can now commit directly. I have also shared with you password for the hosting server. Please update the site. Just ssh and git pull inside web directory (may be add the steps to update site in README).

Currently me, @balasankarchelamat , @manukrishnantv and @anisha has access to the server..

@akshay add a section for deeper articles on privacy, surveillance etc.

Start with these,

Ai Weiwei is Living in Our Future

Who Is Watching You?

Hackers can’t solve Surveillance

@akshay I think we can remove "This site is under construction" now and Link to About section as subtitle. Also see if we can write something more creative there.

@akshay @praveenarimbrathod I think the Partners section in the website can be made a bit more appealing. That section of the site doesn't match with the others. May be because of the white background behind the logos.

what is the correct url for the site? I get different pages:
http://yatra.diasporafoundation.org/
https://yatra.diasporafoundation.org/

@vik its just http, I'm halfway configuring https.

@praveenarimbrathod at http://yatra.diasporafoundation.org/ I only see the default template - I can't see for example the partners section. I guess I am missing something?

@vik That's impossible! :O try ctrl+shift+R

@akshay I did try that, but yeah, agree this is a caching issue on my side :) will sort it

@manukrishnantv My designer-fu is bad. How does it look now? I've rearranged the icons. Don't wanna put too much time on it because there might be additional partners and then will have to change layouts again.

As a designer, I am no good. But, it looks better now.

Can we give more space for the logo on top and move the letters a bit right, so both have the same height. Similar is the case when scrolling. Also, the logo seems to have a border now. Hope that can be removed.

@akshay @manukrishnantv seems yatra.diasporafoundation.org is down. I think it is hosted on poddery.com and last vps migration caused it.

@praveenarimbrathod Its no longer hosted on poddery vps, but on a shared server. There was a recent IP change due to a datacenter move and the records for yatra.diasporafoundation.org is not yet updated. We will need to find the old thread and ask the person with access to make the updation.
