As the guy who was mostly responsible for the current look and
feel of the website I can provide some insight into the effort
required. The website is built using DDoc[1], and anyone who
wants to change the look and feel will need to learn it. It's
not difficult. It does mean that the site is static HTML, so
any dynamism needs to be JS-only (and I think any efforts to
make the pages largely JS-driven would meet resistance).
I know about DDoc usage, I already know it and using it, so
that wouldn't be the issue.
Regarding the dynamism, I would definitely go with some
JavaScript for
the search feature (I want to provide real-time
filtering/suggestions something like DevDocs[1]) but I would
make it optional (so that search is still usable with JS
disabled/unavailable).
Phew...you narrowly avoided a Nick/Teoh JS rant there :P.
Also note that there's a movement to make at least part of the
website (the Phobos docs) use a different documentation
generator, so the new look would need to be ported to that
too. I suspect that wouldn't be hard.
I wasn't aware of that, do you by any chance have links to
those threads?
Here's one (they are kind of hard to Google now that the preview
is up on the site and "ddox" appears on every page):
