  • Type of work changed from Website to Discuss

Next steps:

  • Discuss what we want to show here: do we want a screenshot of the desktop, eventually having some open windows like TorBrowser, OnionShare, Tails Installer, Pidgin, Thunderbird?
  • Discuss if we want to show multiple images instead / Slider / Carousel style
  • Discuss where we want to show that/these image(s)
  • Do it!

Discussed during the August 2017 monthly meeting:

https://tails.boum.org/contribute/meetings/201708/

  • There is consensus on adding it: it’s a well established best practice for software homepages.
  • Better do it now with a very simple thing and make it fancier later than let it rot
  • u volonteers to create a laptop svg to put the screenshot in (but not integrating it). OTOH She also thinks it’s a good idea to leave that as a task for tails-project or tails-ux, to use as a starter for a first contribution to Tails.
  • The person working on it should come up with proposals of what to display, with mockups if needed
  • Suggestions:
    • The laptop SVG should have an usb stick in it, visible, maybe with Tails logo
    • screenshots should show desktop, tor browser, persistence, glider or even email/chat, openpgp-applet… What’s making Tails Tails.

I have no capacities for this. Also, I don’t want to interfere with sajolida’s work, and prepare a branch that in the end will be rejected.

Can we reject this issue, now that the big revamp is almost completed?

#18 Updated by sajolida 2020-04-17 20:38:53

According to https://tails.boum.org/contribute/meetings/201708/, we had some consensus on adding screenshots to our homepage.

I was not the one super interested about it but Lunar had interesting plans to add screenshots at a later stage to the new home page when we discussed in February.

So, yes, we could reject this ticket to clean up a ticket that is not super important (at least to me) and might not be worked on in a while. But not because I don’t think that we should have screenshots on our homepage never or because nobody wants them.
