Description Nicolas Mailhot 2008-06-24 12:32:57 UTC
Spec URL: http://nim.fedorapeople.org/andika-fonts.spec
SRPM URL: http://nim.fedorapeople.org/andika-fonts-1.0-1.fc10.nim.src.rpm

Description:
Andika is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font designed especially for
literacy use, taking into account the needs of beginning readers. The focus is
on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that will not be readily confused with
one another.

A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching people
to read. Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than those of most serif
fonts. For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts that were
not really suitable for beginning readers and writers. In some cases, literacy
specialists have had to tediously assemble letters from a variety of fonts in
order to get all of the characters they need for their particular language
project, resulting in confusing and unattractive publications. Andika
addresses those issues.

Informal package review:
========================


-Summary: Andika SIL fonts
+Summary: Andika is a sans serif font designed for literacy use and for
beginning readers

* No need to be so brief, ~80 chars are usually ok for rpmlint.
 
-* Tue Jun 24 2008 <nicolas.mailhot at laposte.net>
-- 1.0-1
-Ṑ Initial packaging
+* Tue Jun 24 2008 <nicolas.mailhot at laposte.net> - 1.0-1
+- Initial packaging

* Just indenting and ascii-sation.

Seems good to me.

Actually rpmlint has a 79 column limit and your proposal is 80

Though I suppose
“A SIL sans serif font designed for literacy use and for beginning readers”
would be fine

the rpm maintainers will tell you anything after the mail is garbage (but it's a
common mistake, even if the guidelines authorize both)

> +- Initial packaging

You'll take unicode out of my dead hands :) changelog is and always been UTF-8

> Seems good to me.

Thanks for the review, care to do an official one?


Comment 3 Michal Nowak 2008-06-30 08:48:39 UTC
I do. (But now focusing on being sponsored and having awesome package into the
distribution.)

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2008-07-07 01:24:42 UTC
How about:

Summary: A font for literacy and beginning readers


Comment 5 Nicolas Mailhot 2008-07-07 08:24:01 UTC
Why not, care to take the review?

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2008-07-08 07:29:28 UTC
I will keep in my radar - maybe I can get to it next week - unfortunately I
don't have time right now.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2008-07-11 07:51:14 UTC
So I guess this should be named sil-andika-fonts if we are going to move to the new
naming conventations?

Comment 8 Nicolas Mailhot 2008-07-11 09:00:27 UTC
yes it would. I hesitated going directly to sil-andika-fonts, but I'd rather
change every font package in one go than have packages with different
conventions in the same repo.
