Hi!
I have been putting some free time into creating a "design skeleton" for
a new http://d-programming-language.org
<http://www.d-programming-language.org/> front page:
http://digitalpoetry.se/D%20website/D%20overview%20design.png
My main concern is presenting newcomers with an inspiring and relevant
first impression of D. I think there is lots to gain by having a more
alive front page not based on Ddoc (the rest of the site could still be
based on it).
I have not attempted adding any visual style to the design myself since
its not one of my strengths. It should be made to fit better with the
overall theme of d-programming-language.org
<http://d-programming-language.org> (although IMO it's currently a bit
too dark and foreboding).
I must confess to being heavily inspired by http://ooc-lang.org
<http://ooc-lang.org/> and http://cobra-language.com
<http://cobra-language.com/>.
As creating this would take a significant time investment, I suggest
that some more complex sections of the page could be released after the
initial version. I have some background in web development but have been
almost exclusively doing professional C++ games development during the
last 4 years. I would not mind putting some more work into this but am
also hopeful that some others in the D community desire to contribute.
Constructive feedback with a minimum of bikeshedding is welcome.
(Please avoid discussions about specific textual content for now, its
just placeholders).
Cheers,
Chris
I like it. As the guy responsible for the rather "dark and foreboding"
current look and feel of the current d-programming-language.org I'd be
happy to work to make this fit the current look and feel as well as
alter the look and feel to match this direction. It is very much in
line with ideas I've had for improving the welcome page.
I'm currently a web dev guy and wouldn't mind contributing time to help
develop the necessary code. Andrei or others, if you like this
direction could you let us know what web technologies/languages your
server supports?
