Andrea Del Bene commented on WICKET-3341:
-----------------------------------------
yeah, I also find carousel quite eye-catching and useful in the home page.
Could you explain why you want to "kill" it :-)? I see other Apache projects
using it as well, which of course doesn't mean we must do the same but I think
it gives a fast overview of the project.
And what about github? What would you like to remove? I agree we shouldn't ad
any company, especially for free :-), but today it's very hard to involve other
people without relying on github.

> Our current site design has been with us for quite a while. It looked fresh
> in the 1980s, but now it has gone stale.
> This is a proposal for a new, fresh design of the home page and sub pages.
> The home page will feature a prominent download link, a list of feature
> descriptions, screenshots of sites powered by Wicket, official blog items and
> Buzz by our users.
> The screenshots of wicket powered websites will link to short descriptions of
> the sites under /meet/poweredby. Links to the websites will of course have
> nofollow
> Other pages will feature a menu on the right side of the page providing
> direct links to content.
> Attached are a couple of screen shots of how the site might look like.
> Screen 005 is an alternative of the home page without the list of features,
> but including the introduction to wicket article.
