This page is for discussing things common to regional subsites of GNOME.

The flag as a symbol for a language

Generally no good idea:

• Why you should not use a flag as a symbol for a language

• Fedoraproject.org I wish to use my country's flag to refer to my language...

  • "In short, don't use flags. They are politically dangerous. Avoid them if at all possible."

Navigation (bar)

short: navbar

• How should regional sites implement this bar (see GnomeWeb/Navigation) ?

suggestion: official regional subsites logo

We could come up with one logo for all regional sites that maybe should always sit on the same place - or maybe it has some sentence on it like

"official regional site of the GNOME project" or something like that, so that people now:

1. this is an organisation that is officially affiliated to GNOME foundation
2. if thex click the link they either get to www.gnome.org or to a special page (in the language of the refering page?)

Suggestion: regional webring

Not a classic,ugly one but sometimes we like to have some kind of link to our neighbours.

• Why?
  • Because maybe we like to visit a GNOME meeting that is just kilometers away but in another country on another site.
• Things to think about:
  • GNOME is international, so it would always be nice if thereis some text in other languages, at least i english of this is an event where international guests are welcome
• How to solve
  • We could use region maps and maybe some lists to define the nearness of a location.
