the sc downloads webpage

Hi all -
The downloads webpage is rubbish. http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/downloads/ Really need to simplify it and make it easy to use. Would be grateful for your suggestions. Which things on that page should be removed? Which should be emphasised? Removing things is quite important I think, cutting down on the clutter. Perhaps there should be separate webpages for each platform: "downloads/mac", "downloads/linux", "downloads/win"? That might make things more pleasant. But then there are miscellaneous things which might not fit that subdivision. (freebsd? ;) Thanks Dan -- http://www.mcld.co.uk _______________________________________________ sc-dev mailing list info (subscription, etc.): http://www.beast.bham.ac.uk/research/sc_mailing_lists.shtml archive: http://www.listarc.bham.ac.uk/marchives/sc-dev/ search: http://www.listarc.bham.ac.uk/lists/sc-dev/search/ |

Hi Dan, I have realised when teaching SC that people do indeed get quite confused by this page. I had a look, but I don't think anything has to be removed. To me it's a question of layout. It's about making empty spaces on the page. And perhaps rephrasing some sentences. Suggestions: 1) put a banner background for the OSs headings. Like: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac OS X -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This banner could have some colour. You could even put a box around each OS blurb. That would make things more "blocky". 2) Leave a space between the last line of one OS info until you get to the next OS banner. e.g. | here | ---------------------------------------- GNU/Linux ----------------------------------------- 3) Update the text (Psychollider is now called SuperCollider) 4) Write a text describing the Plugins and Extensions graph. 5) Perhaps remove all (updated september 2007...) as those that make a new build and upload, typically forget to edit this page. 6) I would be inclined then to remove the top 4 links (max, linux, windows, plugins) and just let the user scroll down the page a bit. Less confusing, a bit more work. But as I said, I do not think this is a bad page.

I agree with Thor.
The fact that is always confusing me is the organization of links in sourceforge. To speak about mac: E.g for the official 3.2 points to 3.3. RC... The RealizeSound links here which points to The Cocoa points and then again Also, it's not clear why should chose a binary instead of another Best -a- On 23 Apr 2009, at 09:13, thor wrote:

maybe the download page could suggest a proper version automatically,
determining the user's operating system. like http://www.firefox.com ---> big one click button or at least very easily accessible, like http://processing.org/download/ ? furthermore, since it is quite an effort to access it from the sourceforge project page, i think there should also be a button for the 3.3 RC ? ciao, -sciss- Am 23.04.2009 um 08:52 schrieb Dan Stowell: > Hi all - > > The downloads webpage is rubbish. > http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/downloads/ > > Really need to simplify it and make it easy to use.

or even
http://puredata.info/downloads is more easily readable because all the download links are grouped together and you can easily see the right one from the OS-icons.... maybe choose one version as the default download, e.g. SuperCollider- With-Extras, which is what an average user will download, and put the vanilla SC3, SC-realized, SC-sourcecode etc. more down in the document. ciao, -sciss- Am 23.04.2009 um 13:08 schrieb Sciss: > maybe the download page could suggest a proper version > automatically, determining the user's operating system. like > > http://www.firefox.com ---> big one click button > > or at least very easily accessible, like > > http://processing.org/download/ > > ? > > furthermore, since it is quite an effort to access it from the > sourceforge project page, i think there should also be a button for > the 3.3 RC ? > > ciao, -sciss- > > > Am 23.04.2009 um 08:52 schrieb Dan Stowell: > >> Hi all - >> >> The downloads webpage is rubbish. >> http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/downloads/ >> >> Really need to simplify it and make it easy to use.

That needs to be the first item for Linux users (Especially since the swiki only refers to the svn checkout, and not the source package). Then point to the HOWTO on the swiki (and maybe a reminder to check the README of the package you have downloaded) and the Ubuntu packages. sincerely, Marije > > Dan > > 2009/4/23, Sciss <contact@...>: > > or even > > > > http://puredata.info/downloads > > > > is more easily readable because all the download links are grouped > > together and you can easily see the right one from the OS-icons.... > > > > maybe choose one version as the default download, e.g. > > SuperCollider-With-Extras, which is what an average user will download, > > and put the vanilla SC3, SC-realized, SC-sourcecode etc. more down in the > > document. > > > > ciao, -sciss- > > > > Am 23.04.2009 um 13:08 schrieb Sciss: > > > maybe the download page could suggest a proper version automatically, > > > > determining the user's operating system. like > > > > > http://www.firefox.com ---> big one click button > > > > > > or at least very easily accessible, like > > > > > > http://processing.org/download/ > > > > > > ? > > > > > > furthermore, since it is quite an effort to access it from the > > > sourceforge > > > > project page, i think there should also be a button for the 3.3 RC ? > > > > > ciao, -sciss- > > > > > > Am 23.04.2009 um 08:52 schrieb Dan Stowell: > > > > Hi all - > > > > > > > > The downloads webpage is rubbish. > > > > http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/downloads/ > > > > > > > > Really need to simplify it and make it easy to use.

this will clean it up a touch: .sc3dnldblock { border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 1px;
padding: 0.5em 1em 0 0.5em; width: 30%; float: left;
min-height: 370px; } min-height is the primary change, it evens the size of the boxes. the other changes are just better padding, lighter less distracting border color.
