I would LOVE to see a bit more structure. Patches gladly accepted! I quite like the simple, comprehensive couchdb site, http://incubator.apache.org/couchdb/ for structure. Something like that would be great. A recent blog post about what a good project site should contain, http://www.protocolostomy.com/2008/07/03/this-is-how-i-want-all-project-web-... In summary, we have all the information, now just time to make it more accessible. me:
So, I've been toying with the idea of redesigning the home page, such that everything fits above the fold, and there's a semi-traditional right side navbar. (Making the nav bar sections have red borders on hover, how cute.)
I'm not too interested in messing with the colorscheme, partly because I'm no good at actual visual design, and partly because I like the whole blast from the past thing.
Yeah, its nicely retro :)
Is this a patch(set) you'd accept (for a sufficient definition of 'you')? Furthermore, is there any ego attached to the current html/css coding style? I'd like to apply my obsessive whitespace cleanup to it, along the way, and get rid of some cruft.
For sure.
I'm thinking the left side would have the about and features sections, and the right side would consist of this, approximately:
- Home (What) - Google CSE - Download (Where) - pkgs from different linuxen - core - contrib - install instructions? - darcs - related tools - About (Why) - intro tutorial - screenshots - videos - reviews - Docs (How) - guide through contrib - FAQ - wiki - API docs (starting with andrea's config/extend/develop pages) - News (When) - from the xmonad team - in the press/blogs - Community (Who) - mailing list - irc - t-shirts - credits _______________________________________________
