Re: [LogiLogi-list] Uruguay Ruby Users Grup introduction

Hi from Barcelona. Finally connected again :)

Yes Bruno I do agree that we need content. But I think in order to get
more content we need to fix some pressing UI & usabillity-issues, like 
the front-page, remark removal, no disappearing cursor, etc...

& Miguel, I hoped to have seen a commit, and some news about you being
able to come to the FKFT conference, but so far I've not spotted an
e-mail.

& Steffen, how are things ? Still willing to look at the JS compression ?

I will be home again in about a week, so then I'll be able to do some
badly needed devving again :)

The priority now really is usabillity, usabillity and usabillity.

Then, I think we need to open up, with RSS-feeds and such.

And the 3rd stage is an extension of this opening up by splitting up
into separate services, creating a browser-plugin etc... more on this
later...

Also about a move to a new UI-design, I think it is ok, as long as we
do it gradually, so introduce changes bit by bit, so we keep a working
UI at all times... (& get feedback from users).

About translating the UI to Spanish, LogiLogi would need Gettext
support for that & while not impossible, it does take some work &
coding to make this work.

@ the newcomers; Having any problems with installation, or is all
clear and going fine ? Feel free to ask :)

Please if so, do it before tomorrow evening as my presentation is 
on wednesday at 11:45.

If in spanish it does have a connotation of shared interest that is
good :) In English and Dutch the word for communities does not have it
namely... The word is here mostly used for socially & locally
connected groups..

Anyway, good luck tomorrow! :)
