RDWG Symposium Design
Design Specs
Goal: One Symposium publication package that is integrated, yet documents need to have different looks.
- Symposium main page
(example symposium page)
- goal: probably want to keep WAI 'look & feel'
- design: lots of flexibility for design
- note: before the conference, the Call of Paper (CfP) page will get the most attention - after the symposium, the main page will get the most attention and the CfP just left there for archive purposes
- W3C Working Group Note
(editors' draft of first one)
- goal: want it to look like W3C Note
- design:
- has very strict design parameters, we can cannot change much (will clarify more as needed)
- probably fine to put something under the title, but maybe not above the title
- Papers
(example - all have similar structure and ≈1,000 words)
- goal: want to look integrated into the Symposium publication, and very stable, referenceable, etc. — yet *not like authored or approved by W3C or WAI*
- design: lots of flexibility for design
- notes:
- new: include the BibTex info near the top of the pages, see examples in proceedings section
- might have some format requirements for picking up in things like Google Scholar - these will mostly be code-level, but might have minor design implications
open: Shadi is managing getting that figured out through WAI-ACT collaborators
- Transcripts
(metrics one, designless)
- design: lots of flexibility for design
- Paper submission page (e.g., OpenConf)
- design: tools have significant limiations, assume we can add a banner, but maybe that's all
Also, we might want:
- Overall page for all Symposia (right now they are listed under WAI technical papers)
Sketches
Note: some people really like the W3C Community Group look & feel
version B: starting from home page
version A - very rough idea of a common banner across the different pages:
- Main page (can click Paper 7 to get the next one)
- Paper page - CSS changes fonts & colours from WAI site - we could do more to pull in *some* of the W3C Note CSS but not too much that it looks like W3C approved content
- Note page - Probably OK to have banner under the title, but maybe not at the top like this
