I updated the Scalate site to look a little more like the image Lukasz sent around. I'd need to get the logo image and the icons he used in the boxes to get closer. And the color codes for the boxes.
I added a search box, code highlighting, and some more font styling as well. I could use some ideas on how to pretty up the search box to look more like the one in the proposal. Also I wanted to get the items on the navigation menu to darken when they are hovered over, but so far my attempts have looked pretty poor. 2010/11/5 Eric Johnson <[email protected]> > > I'll take a look at adding the aggregated feed from apache.org. > > Getting the design elements into the sandbox project should be fairly smooth. > > On Friday, November 5, 2010, Guillaume Nodet <[email protected]> wrote: > > FWIW, the new website is backed by the new CMS from infra and has gone > > line yesterday or so ... > > > > 2010/11/5 Gert Vanthienen <[email protected]>: > >> Guillaume, > >> > >> Good point about the Apache feather and link -- we really want to keep > >> that around.
