Everyone, Here's your chance to help contribute back to the AOLserver Project in a meaningful way! Help us revamp the current http://aolserver.com/ website! Lets all work together to make it a site we can all be proud of, and confidently direct people there when they want to know what AOLserver is all about. Something that will get the attention of the public, and help us spread the word about AOLserver.
What I think we need for the redesign: first and foremost, a new site design template! We need a modern look and feel. A clean, consistent, and professional looking style guide. A logo for the project to start building the AOLserver brand with. Copywriters to provide content that can go up on the site. Other ideas? The last time I brought this up, some folks responded but all were looking for even small sums of money in exchange for their participation, which I completely understand. However, AOLserver is made freely available to the open source community, and I'd hope that folks would return the favor by contributing back freely as well. Maybe this model doesn't work, and perhaps there needs to be a way for the project to raise funds through donations to pay for these kinds of project efforts, but it seems kind of wrong to me: how much of those funds should go to folks who contribute code to the core server vs. those who contribute to the website design effort? It's not clear to me, and I'm sure it'll be hard to come up with an answer quickly that everyone can agree on. So, if you have talent (graphic design, brand/identity creation, copywriting) and would like to contribute a portion of your time, effort and talent, please email me. I will work to coordinate the efforts of everyone involved to hopefully start the process of building a new aolserver.com site! -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
