Chi-Chi
Accomplishments
- Brought back footer display of Children pages by request
- Brought back left side bar links by request
- Added in drop-down Navigation Menu that displays all children links at all levels, regardless of what page one is currently viewing
- Confirmed with Leo for the translation of the 9 main pages
Metrics
Outcomes
- Slow(er) Wiki
- Will have the first layer of main pages translated for Spanish Wiki by Apr 11
- Aesthetically 'lighter' look of website
- Horizontal scrollbar appeared due to new formatting of layout
Issues
- Drop-down Navigation Menu slows down Wiki, will probably change it two 2 levels (pros: faster than it is now & it is easier to find subtopics with drop down menu; cons: still slow)
- Horizontal scrolling is ugly and intrusive on the formatting of pages (is is due to the header?)
- Headings, body text, subheading text's CSS must be edited. Some text is too small, some text is overwhelmingly big. Affects legibility of drop-down Navigation Menu. Will find out how ASAP.
