Description James Horton 2014-07-24 18:55:57 UTC
http://infra-status.gentoo.org/ is a fantastic resource!

Might it not be "WISE IDEA" to put a button on the www.gentoo.org
hope so folks and easily click to see the actual status of the
servers?  In fact, the button, could be small can green when all
is ok. It could be yellow or red for a variety of reasons, to
be determined by the infrastructure team with wider input?

In fact in the upper left hand corner, is the words "gentoo linux" 
always in green?  Why not color code the name, green means all is well,
yellow (?) red (somehing is down)?

clicking those "gentoo linux" word can link to 
--> http://infra-status.gentoo.org/


just a thought.

hth,
James

There already is a link in the (granted quite confusing) left sidebar.
I figure that is all the attention the status site needs.

Um, that's our logo. It's always green. Having it randomly have different colors is confusing for people who are not familiar with your proposed concept.

No, clicking a logo should take you to some sort of a front page.

Sorry, I never notice the "infrastructure link before.
Maybe that link could status green, yellow, or red,
if you like.


OK, so close the ticket.
