Since the majority feel we don't need separate News/Blog sections I merged the news with the blog in one panel on the right (there is still a link to events). This cleared space for a "Latest Additions" section right on the homepage WDYT? I also removed the Twitter panel, which accompanied by the deletion of the mailing list panel cleared enough space to include a "New in Documentation" panel. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/Homepage > > We're progressing! > > Thanks > -Vincent > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs ----- Silvia Rusu Tester & Documentation Writer - XWiki http://twitter.com/silviarusu -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Proposal-XWiki-org-horizontal-navigation-home-page-tp3720280p4743329.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
