Re: [LOGO] site with Fluido skin and owl logo
If the vote is successful I'll commit the SVG originals, and we can slice and dice, eg maybe keep the owl out of the top bar, add an owl favicon, and rework the overly busy front page. I also think we should remove the side-bars (and perhaps switch to a top bar menu) as they hinder mobile accessibility. We can use hopscotch to let people know where the stuff is, much like clicking the Take a tour button on the junit.org site revamp I did.

Probably few if any will visit it to download maven on their phone. But a lot of people are reading this on their phones or tablets. And if there's a link in an email I am not going to fetch my laptop to visit it.

I, myself often read docs on my phone browser, hence a strong proponent of responsive UIs. I can also confirm that the site doesn't work very well due to layout issues on my phone.
