We do also have proposals for splash Screens. So I think that the disucssion of the logo, goes in the right direction, we Need a real vote for it. We have a ticket for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-145
And https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-146 for a rebranding of whatever (Splashscreen etc.). I added the proposals for the splashscreen to #145. So either we want to have mor logos for the contest that we will create a contest or are the stuff, that we already have enough, to vote on it? Cheers Chris P.S. Thx for the flowers, but the proposals of the logos coming from a friended designer, as an assigment of me 😊. Yes, the logos were a first draft and were not finished yet, so some glitches could be. He said, he wanted to make them finish, if we decide which one we would have. So only scribbling etc. Von: Antonio Gesendet: Sonntag, 25.

I recall being confused about colors a while ago when visiting can't-remember-the-page: the headers were links, but they looked as plain headers, so I was completely confused. > >> >> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENWHISK/Compliance+Checklist+for+OpenWhisk.org+website >> >> I think we comply with most of the points there, so we should be ready >> to merge to master by monday. >> > > Really useful link, and yes agree with you on that assessment.

The material at Confluence - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition and - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/New+NetBeans+Web+Site+Planning could be good starting points. In fact maybe we want to have some pages on the website and link to the Confluence pages for the latest news. Updating Confluence pages is probably easier/faster for this "frequently updated" sort of content, right?
