Has to be done

  • add card image tooltips to the names of the cards that appear in the relationships (as it is done in the list of cards) ValterAlves 17:06, 5 July 2011 (WEST)
done.
now I should do the same regarding the names of the patterns in the description
and make them bold to (try it, at least)
  • make sure everything is behaving properly in the different browsers and platforms ValterAlves 17:06, 5 July 2011 (WEST)
Did not test yet these OS: Android, Windows Mobile/Phone
IE: inline videos are not starting
IE: videos in fancybox are not working (too slow to load and then, once closed, it seems they play again or something like that (we hear the sound of a replay))
IE: opacity of overlay buttons is not working (hover buttons appear all the time)
The easiest may be not to add them at all if(IE)
Fancybox with videos is not behaving correctly
  • Include ranking and commenting mechanisms
Accountable or anonymous?
  • Videos: I'm opting by quicktime pluging with H.264 videos. This option as advantages but it is show problematic in some respects. Youtube is an alternative but it also as some drawbacks in this particular context. This is something I will need to evaluate a eventually change, site wide.
What about a third alternative? Google videos?
Change the height of Fancybox according to the aspect ratio of the the video, so that there is no need for the vertical bars

Wish List (and stuff that needs a second thought)

  • would it be interesting to link names of Games to some page with some more information about the game?
(this would be done automatically, by parsing the names of the games in the source pages)
individual pages, or a common page with a section for each game
what information would be given regarding each game?
it is important to keep in mind that this is not a site about the games... So the included information should not tend towards a game description
but it could give some pointers for readers to be able to take contact with a game should they not know it
perhaps: the official site, its wikipedia page (other alternative?), the game's own wiki, should it exist
the list of examples from that game that we included in this site
hmmm... what would be the point?
it might have as well other examples from the game, which we have but did not included in the card's pages (other instances of a same example, unselected examples, ...)
  • Should links to Cards be distinctive from those to other things (namely in the cards' descriptions)?
That would give some more freedom to use alternate forms of the names of the cards (e.g., just 'captions' instead of 'Subtitles and Captions' if that is proper in a particular sentence)
On the other hand, we should stick to the 'original' card name, in order to augment memorability and to avoid ambiguities
  • in the cards'/patterns' pages: insert frequency and or confidence indicators (possibly from the same source as Most Frequently Used
maybe supporting in-place user input too
  • pick random card (link like the one that appears in the side bar, but restricted to the cards space)
