Can you kill the two app nav categories with no apps in them? http://www.codeforamerica.org/apps/
POLICY PROJECTS

The list page of 2013 cities has a call to " if your city is interested in joining the 2014 program, apply here" - we should probably change these calls to action to something like "if you're interested in bringing the fellowship to your city, find out more" and then the /apply-now page should explain more thoroughly the current status of the application cycle.

This sentence:
"The platform of the new Ohana API supports consumer services in San Mateo County, Calif."
should read:
"The platform of the new Ohana API supports community services in San Mateo County, Calif."

in this text "It’s for this reason that 2013 fellowship team Richa Agarwal, Cris Cristina and Sheila Duggan met with stakeholders from various Oakland departments to improve citywide public records requests."
change "Duggan" to "Dugan"

Is it possible to get social service icons in a vector format? Non-critical.
Make it so that http://codeforamerica.org/video aggregates live pages -- need a video template ? http://codeforamerica.org/08-22-2013/

The PBS feature was a big deal, so I think it would be great to have it included, as well as the LA Times piece.

Footer on https://github.com/codeforamerica/cfawp2012/blob/master/finalist-detail-template.php is only partially gray. Weird div tag issue?
On http://www.codeforamerica.org/cities/louisville/, Shaunak's and Laura's video profiles made by Metro TV play just fine but Marcin's video gives the error message: Invalid parameters.
I will try to find a good link for the video and update the issue with it.
In the interim, the google calendar widget is being used to display public events. It would be nice to dress this a bit to match the styleguide pattern for calendars.
Later, build something better for events.
Connect with Atran to update page:

RecordTrac link should go to "records.oaklandnet.com" instead of "records.oaklandnet.com/new"
...where god intended search to be.
At least one of our current City templates (examples: http://codeforamerica.org/2013-partners/las-vegas/ & http://www.codeforamerica.org/2012-partners/chicago/ ) has a janky GetSatisfaction widget at the bottom with ancient - and no recent - comments. Totally not needed any more. KILL EET.
Right now the text for class="page-title" get lost in the image. Either make the text pop or get rid of it all together and just use class="global header" to identify where you are on the site.
Going with the current proposed home page concept, we still need to sort out a main nav scheme for subordinate pages. One thought I have is that we keep the Programs nav but move it under "About" and simplify the rest of the navset to go with our cities, citizens, and donors CTAs. Like this:
About | Cities | Citizens | Supporters | Apps | Blog and then events/video/search as a little bloc in a corner?
About would then be:
Mission (landing page) | Team | Programs | Press | Jobs | Contact or something like that
Maybe About would be footer only though. Interesting question. This scheme privileges donors by pulling them out of About, and pushing Programs down.
This needs more thought but just getting it started.
As seen on About page.
http://www.codeforamerica.org/fellows/current-fellows/ should point to the current (2013) fellows.
There are 7 mentions of this issue on the e-mail thread supporting this change.
To facilitate the 2014 fellows, you could add a "2014 Fellows" link to the "Fellows" sub-menu.
Please.
At this page http://www.codeforamerica.org/about/fellowship/
the "The End of 2013 Fellowship" link appears to have a slight problem with it (extra -
character at the end, I think.)
the "let us know" link at the end of the top paragraph of the apps page goes no where - looks like it's intended to go to a form of some kind?
On the citizens page under "What's Happening", the featured events and items like "Nov 19: Bike Hack NYU Rudin" need to be links but they are currently just text. When you create a link at that level, the CSS forces a new style. Can we keep the existing featured event style but leave room for those to be links?
On http://www.codeforamerica.org/cities/louisville/, the photo of Shaunak, Laura and Marcin with the two prison officials is accompanied by this caption:
(L-R) Fellows Shaunak Kashyap, Marcin Wichary and Laura Meixell visit the prison guided by two prison guards..
The order of the fellows in the caption does not match the order of the fellows in the photo. Also, while we are changing it, these were Corrections officials, not prison guards. The caption should read:
(L-R) Fellows Shaunak Kashyap, Laura Meixell and Marcin Wichary visit the prison guided by two Corrections officials.
There's some odd little bit of code - no idea where such a thing would live - that causes text copied & pasted from our site to append a cluttering "see more at URL" string. It's not a huge use case, but it's super stupid. If we can find it and kill it, awesome. Like so - I will now paste some text from the site using ctrl-C ctrl-V:
if your city is interested in joining the 2014 program, apply here. - See more at: http://www.codeforamerica.org/2013-partners/#sthash.E0k1KUZe.dpuf
Page side scrolls weirdly and the footer is only half the page. Can we remove? Additional div tag or something?
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong on this but YouTube and Vimeo embeds do not appear in Chrome.
I’m seeing some spacing oddness on this page: https://jekit.codeforamerica.org/codeforamerica/codeforamerica.org/static-site/geeks/our-geeks/
Trying to understand what’s going on there, with the header scrunched up against the preceding sections. What’s the correct way to implement this pattern?
Will require an interest form embed.
From Cyd: I'm not famous for my great eye, but to me the text styling for people cards in the pattern library looks different from how it comes out on the actual built version. Smaller type size and correspondingly smaller line spacing - the pattern library version looks much better to me (in particular the centering works better); do you see the same thing & can you tell what's going on?
Duplicated lists of 2014 fellows on these three pages:
Number 1 should definitely stay; number 2 should definitely go. Should number 3 just have a link to the current people?
I’ve cherry-picked the most recent stuff from master (5544223), and I’m seeing a squat fade box at the top of the geeks page:
https://jekit.codeforamerica.org/codeforamerica/codeforamerica.org/static-site/geeks/
I tried to double the height property in patterns/fade.scss
and recreated main.css
, but the height of the fade box stayed at 30px.
What am I doing wrong?
Looks like many blog authors don't have bios in WP, even if they have bios elsewhere on the site. (Many current fellows & staff fall in this category.) This means their author page comes up without a bio at the top. A different and I think larger set of people doesn't have the right credentials (gravatar?) to have the summary bio show up on individual posts. This could be a good one to tackle in conjunction with alumni bios, since a lot of alumni are affected.
On http://www.codeforamerica.org/fellows/2013-fellows/#Shaunak, the Twitter ID is @shaunakkashyap. It should be @shaunak instead.
Abhi gets a mail from chartbeat when something goes wrong; configure GA to do this instead so we can ditch CB.
Not all github links are github links (some are the twitter link).
Lots of linkedin links are broken.
Might want to verify the twitter handles are correct (mine got changed incorrectly a couple months ago, and had to change it).
Work with Ashley to populate the second column with sponsors from secret list. Use sponsor logos to be provided by Ashley & Matt.
I’m not sure if these are intentional, guessing not:
The CSS seems to want 100px wide images right now; many of the existing ones we have are 165px wide or 150px wide. Can the logo sizes be determined by the HTML tag rather than CSS so we can re-use existing images?
Current appearance: http://dbox.teczno.com/CfA-Website-Bugs/apps-weird.png
Ashley says it’s out of date.
Replace with something so it’s not blank. If a list of donors, use names only and pull from front page carousel.
Believe I sent in pull request, but wanted to double up here. Actual change should happen on Mon Aug 12.
