Hi All, The project web site redesign looks like it hasn't gotten any attention recently and I have been doing some web development anyway, so I thought I would take a shot at something similar to what the community has already agreed on. The link below is a screen shot of a scalate generated landing page (I used Eric's sandbox work as a starting point).
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccustine/5390898666/sizes/l/ The landing page is a bit rich in content and graphics but I liked the idea of a featured content section (with the rotating content common in commercial sites) and the getting started boxes carried over from the previous concepts. The actual content pages (docs, tutorials, etc) will be slimmed down a bit more than this one and will have a left side navigation menu specific to the section you are in (Documentation, Tutorials, Project Info, etc) but will carry the same theme. I'll work on those and post some screenshots if everyone likes this direction. WDYT?
