Ok, I see the point of having shorter lines, but I think that we still
should try to maintain a consistent page width.
Maybe we can do so by moving to a 2-column layout or by just making the
font size bigger (the current default size is pretty small for my eyes
anyway ...)?

with
graphics though it's not much of an issue.

I generally like the stylesheet, but I think that we still have some

The width of the individual pages is not consistent and that
doesn’t look
nice switching between “tabs”.
Do you know why that happens?
Cheers,

Hey everyone,
I've been working on making a better website to use for our Apache
domain.
You can check out a preview here :
*https://parshimers.github.io/asterix-website/
<https://parshimers.github.io/asterix-website/>* , and the source is
here :
https://github.com/parshimers/asterix-website . It should build like
any
other Jekyll website, just be sure to change the URL if you try
previewing
it locally.
Any thoughts would be welcomed. I think the frontpage still needs
some
work
(the features should have some sort of small image to illustrate
each one
), and there should be a detailed features page. The documentation
also
needs to be harmonized and integrated with this site. I think we
could
also
add a blog easily, but I'm not sure how everyone feels about that.
It
would
be good to show activity and give people a peek of what's going on
between
releases.
This new website should also be a lot easier to maintain and add
content
to
for everyone. There's really not much HTML required unless it is a
more
complex layout like the front page, for example all of the
contribution
pages are just markdown.
Thanks, and looking forward to your comments,
- Ian
