Hello everyone, I'd definitely like to contribute to the new DataMapper site. First I think we need to define how should we approach new site. I was working on sites for these open source projects:
http://javascriptmvc.com/ http://canjs.us/ http://jquerypp.com/ So, JavaScriptMVC site is IMHO closest in the form of what we should do for the DataMapper site. Other two sites, have the form of one-long-page-documentation, and while I think a page like that would be useful for the DataMapper, we should probably do something more "classic" in terms of design and organisation. I think that first we should define is a site map, and how we want the docs and examples to look. After that we can work on mockups and finally on the design.
