Onionoo web-page(s) should have new Metrics design

web-page should have new Metrics design

what else?

changed milestone to %Onionoo-1.2.0

added component::metrics/onionoo milestone::Onionoo-1.2.0 owner::metrics-team priority::medium resolution::fixed severity::normal status::closed type::enhancement labels

Some ideas:

• The list of Onionoo clients can go away. (The introductory paragraph before that should probably stay.)
• We could easily merge the remainder of the home page with the protocol page into a single page.
• Protocol versions should be a section of its own.
• Example usage should be moved closer to the top before we dive too much into technical details.
• We might need a box with links to anchors on the page. We don't have that on Tor Metrics, because we have many shorter pages there. But here we have one long page (or two, if we can't agree on the single-page change), so we'll need at least some navigation.
• We don't have a logo for Onionoo. We could just use the normal Tor logo.

Sounds fine. The one-page change is a good one. (Maybe, we keep the navigation discussion on #21381 (moved)?)

As with CollecTor: Should we include a link to the wiki mirror list or have mirrors listed here?

You mean the discussion how to implement the navigation box with links or similar? Yes, happy to.

Yes, we can do that.

Here's the Onionoo page - let me know what you think :) onionoo.cc-ltd.net

Thanks for starting this! A few early comments:

• The two sections "Developing Onionoo applications" and "Related projects" should go away.
• We can probably remove the "Protocol overview" section header, because the entire page exists only to give an overview of the Onionoo protocol.
• We should change all

  to

  , all

  to

  , etc.

• Navigation topic again: should the table of contents box be visible in the mobile view, too?
• The list under "Methods" looks broken in the mobile view.
• Maybe we'll need better colors than the currently used blue and red for indicating new and deprecated protocol parts. Is it easy to find colors that play well with the purple and green?

I like it! If iwakeh has no concerns, I'll apply that design later today or tomorrow morning and we can further tweak it from there.

I like it, too!

Just some minor things:

• It's odd that the button "tell me more" simply scrolls down a bit. We could just do without the grey top-panel and add that text before the "General" headline. That way the navigation would be visible immediately when accessing the site.
• And, another color topic: already with the old page I thought it counter-intuitive to have green for "required"; I think it could be simple black as optional is grey. That would give a bigger color range for the protocol colors, i.e., orange could be the new red and green the new blue?

But, these are just minor tweaks. All fine.

Just notice that the title says "CollecTor" not Onionoo.

I fixed the title, and I made "required" black. I'd rather not make the new entries green, because that is our link color. For the grey jumbotron box: I like it for optical reasons - and we use that same box on CollecTor and MetricsLib (that you all haven't seen yet) :)

I added "new", "beta" and "deprecated" labels, what do you think?

That's a nice idea!

Good ideas above! I'll now apply changes. Stay tuned, this shouldn't take long. An hour maybe?

Text change: The onionoo-announce list mentioned under 'versions' doesn't exist anymore. This can just be removed as there is the next_major_version_scheduled field now.

There, pushed to my redesign branch and deployed on the server. Thoughts?

Ah, RaBe, can you rescue the design mess I left on the protocol page? :)

Fine, only that 'required' looks still green to me.

Great!

Could you please redownload the css file of the prototype page, there were slight color corrections (required, and the label colors matching the texts).

For the protocol page, just remove the class "page-header" from the box with the content.

Done!

Done!

Anything else that's broken and needs fixing?

Should we merge what we have and release it together with protocol version 4.0 next Tuesday?

Yes, added the milestone.

Milestone: N/A to Onionoo-1.2.0

So, merge_ready? :)

Oh, I thought I did that already; hmm, wondering what else received the merge_ready ;-)

Trac:
Status: needs_review to merge_ready

You indeed set it to merge_ready before, but we made more changes afterwards, so I set it back to needs_review earlier today. Anyway, merged and pushed to master. Thanks, RaBe and iwakeh! Closing.
