New UI Feedback

Comments and suggestions on the new Ohloh design.

Nice, still checking it out. I am seeing some minor glitches on IE4 for Mac, but nothing major...

It's pretty, but it doesn't really add any additional functionality, and makes several things harder to find (navigation is more difficult). Little things that made ohloh easy to use, like the link back to the project page from the enlistments page, are gone. The general project properties list is gone as well, meaning that we now have to search a paragraph for the details link just to modify enlistments.

So yes, it's prettier, but it is lacking the final polish of the old style. Add more links in logical places and you'll have a winner. :)

I missed the link back to the project after entering an enlistment.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add more navigational links shortly.

I like how the contributors are listed now, it looks way cooler :) As others said, I think it has become a bit hard to navigate around, it was a bit easier when the links just stood in the right menu. Great job though.

Nice! The contributor stuff is much better than the old stuff!

Thanks!

I checked in the breadcrumbs yesterday. I hope that makes it easier to get around (or specifically, to get back). I'm going to continue adding nav links today.

Many pages have of tags inside the .
Here are some examples :
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3351
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3351/enlistments
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3351/commits
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3351/contributors
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3351/contributors/30

So I suggest you to create a batch that checks that the pages on the site are HTML compliant. This also a good mean to quickly discover some cases of XSS.

Thanks for the catch dolmen - my recent bug from today. Will fix asap.

Look at the homepage. When the RSS Feed changes, the weight of the text on the news entries changes. It's rather annoying as it looks like a really slow blink effect. Firefox. OSX.
