Andrea Del Bene commented on WICKET-3341:
-----------------------------------------
Basically, I like carousel and "fork me" ribbon for the same reason: I think
they improve project visibility and help to attract new contributors. I agree
that carousel is not meant to give an overview of the project, but it works
quite well as a fast "appetizer". Maybe it makes sense to link it to overview
page.
About the "fork me" ribbon, we can change its text with something more neutral
without mentioning Github, if this can help.
I'm adding you as contributor to the repository, so you can freely work on it.
BTW: I worked to make the site look "decent" also on small devices, even if
it's not the kind of site meant to be visited by those devices.

> 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.
