    There was somethign called the 4k site challenge a while back. from the birth of the web the goal of sites was to give the user somethign to look at as soon as possible. having 20s loading time on a 5 Mbit/s? Mbyte/s? connection is simply unaceptable. some ppl still have analog modems and isdn. regarding site design: i always start with a color set of 3-5 colors and shades. then i decide on a primary and secondary color (the rest are for warning messages and other stuff) there are some rules to colors: 75% off ppl say blue is one of their favorite colors black isnt a color (no light) white is all colors combined so doesnt count either green is fresh (especialy if you mix in blue to get cyan or turquoise colors) yellow isnt good because its simply to bright red gets attention there are cold and warm colors (blue is cold, red is warm) humans have a good perception of green (so it doesnt have to be intense) and so on After you found your colorset choose two fonts: 1 display fonts (for logo and headlines). it can be artistic 2. one flow text font (it has to be eeasy to read and has to have some connection to your display font) rules about fonts: there are serif and sans-serif fonts (that little tips you see on times new roman are serifes) usualy serif fonts are easier to read but dont look as modern comic sans is a nogo make sure your font transports the feeling your site should carry (and match your colors) e.g. a technical site could be cooler have sans serif fonts that are futuristic and clean. a site about e.g. nature would have more playfull serif fonts and warm colors next up is sitemap think about what pages you need and how they are connected you only have 3 seconds to grab someones attention on your startpage if he spends that time loading it hes gone forever. if it looks crowded and confusing hes gone too. try zto imagine beeing a user and try looking at other pages (how they guide you and offer the right options in the right places) now its time for site layout you have a head with logo, navigation thats always there clicks on logos should bring you back to the index site a menu should be clearly visible but not trying to steal the show from the sites content. a footer is always there you can decide weather or not it should be shown at all times or not it usualy contains legal links and other stuff The content is the star of your page make it readable and keep as few different layouts as possible troughout your site. else it confusues people and makes development harder. if all of that is done you can make your templates, optimize them for fast loading times and only then start building your actual site (including backend code) also: use some framework. for php ill suggest "slim framework" its uhm slim easy to learn and fast. i hope that gets you on track VITAS

By the way: As non native speaker i too can only try to write propper english Regarding the Topic: @GGKSPMC if you would be more grounded i would maybe be willing show you some things about web development and servers. (classes start each working day after my breakfast pizza)

    Important News: We just had a meeting because we recieved a letter stating that the name Spacedock is a registered trademark and we have to change it imidiatly. So we just renamed Spacedock to PizzaDock until we come up with a better name for it.

    Status Update: Amongs other Improvements i just added a node in SIngapore for our asian & australian users. The CDN now looks like this:

    im a bit lost for words. but here is somethign that might help you: http://color.adobe.com/

    the 1.1 prerelase (and the need for modders to be able to upload stuff for 1.1) caused some trouble. "dev" and "prereleases" arent known by the code (yet) so we had to make an quick and dirty fix. (hope that helps for the time beeing)
  17. VITAS
    1.1 added to the site
  18. VITAS
    We just switched downloads to our CDN. please report any problems.

    Following up on my last post: i now set up the cdn and we will deploy it as soon as its tested and integrated into the code. We arent in urgent need of servers but improving the infrastructer is always a good idea. (python and php devs are needed more) For people who want to donate servers: We need the following specs at least 100Mbit/s connection ubuntu 14.04 lts or debian prefered 160GB+ disk space (RAID1) root (you can setup a vm or container) 4gb+ RAM fixed ipv4 (+ipv6 if you have) located in a real datacenter (no home servers) usable by us for at least 6 month at least core i7 or xenon (no atom, pentium or celeron based cpus) locations we prefer: south america australia asia east europe Happy easter VITAS P.S. current server locations (more will follow)
  20. VITAS
    Yes there will be. I got a bit distracted from the cdn thing. Mainly because the current setup is laughing about the bandwidth demand. (average of 30-50Mbit/s on its 1Gbit/s line). GenPage donated some cloude nodes and we started setting them up as CDN but didnt finish. If you are good with server stuff youre welcome to setup mirroring. (The current setup uses Kubernets, docker and tinc and geoDNS but lacks some rsync or cluster FS setup) If thats working im happy to integrate more Servers in order to reduce roundtrip times. Please tell me where your server is located (geographicly and datacenter), whats its bandwidth(conenction speed), which OS / distro you are running and if you can setup docker and/or a vm so we can have root acc on it or can deploy containers. You can join us on irc.esper.net #spacedock

    Thank you and other for using it. I made many webpages and ive learned that a following arround it is more important than design or functionality. 1/3 but all running on the current ksp version and activly maintained challange: try one mod per day for one year BTW theres stuff that can be done to speed things up but it takes many many man hours so it will be a while. if someone wants to help: we need python AND php (with symfony) devs.
  22. VITAS
    We did quite some work on the code to speed up site loading times but theres only so much you can do to legacy code.
  23. VITAS
    yes. site generation times are mostly related to the code we got from ks. my tools tell me its on average about .85s but inital site loads take much longer for now i want to focus on raw download speeds of files not code issues.
  24. VITAS
    Hi, How are transfer speeds for you guys? (the question also applies to CKAN downloads from ckan1.spacedock.info or spacedock.info) Im asking this because i want to decide if theres a need to deploy the cdn for file downloads or not.
  25. VITAS
    VITAS dislikes that (see thos buttons would have a usecase) p.s. need new keyboarlfdkjei
