I like the visual impact. Is this going to be static? I feel that as the project evolves, different things need to get highlighted.
I'm not a Windows8 user, but.. From a marketing perspective, there's perhaps 3 calls for action? - Do you want to know what CloudStack is? Go here - Do you want to contribute? Go here - Do you want to report a bug? Go here - Get started? Download here Most project sites devote most space to blurbing on how great / easy / featureful the project is. The Get started is usually highlighted as well. The rest of the stuff is usually smaller? On 2/20/13 2:22 PM, "Frank Zhang" <frank.zh...@citrix.com> wrote: >Cool design.
