One thing I really like about sourceforge is how some projects look much more professional. I do not need (nor want) a lecture on why this is. I only want solutions or ideas of how to create a github base page that looks much more (www) presentable like this sourceforge page: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ That's not actually the SF page for QjackCtl. That's the project page, which is really just web space where you upload your site. The actual SF page is this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl You can do the same in GitHub though. Here's a project of mine. GitHub page: https://github.com/realnc/SDL_audiolib And the GitHub-hosted project page (I only put the documentation there though): http://realnc.github.io/SDL_audiolib Info on how to do this: https://help.github.com/categories/github-pages-basics

Monkey see:: monkey Do thx, James As Nicos said, if the aesthetic appearance is important for your project's users then you would be better off setting up your own website. There you can play not only with theming it using CSS, but also with the structure, layout and functionality, without any restrictions from what github offers. A word of warning though ... it can become a full time job both tweaking it and protecting from attacks. The latter is more or less a given if you are setting up a dynamic content website, using php or similar with a database back end. Static pages present less of a challenge. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
