Possibility of doing a re-vamp of the Plumi visual identity and blog when
we launch the new look Plumi.
* new wordpress design (the kakky green colour everywhere is finally
really getting to me. also the amateurish/DIY feel, given that the new
Plumi skin will be so minimal, clean and contemporary looking). once again
this could just be purchasing an existing theme and doing a little bit of
customisation, much like Maloreigh did.
* new banner for new plumi demo site / default plumi installations
* new plumi promo buttons as per https://plumi.org/ticket/70
In terms of new wordpress themes, it really would be cool to have
something with a bit more impact, a bit showier, a bit less "here we are
with our little software project", a bit bolder, making more of a
statement about how great we think the software is.
Something like this could be a bit much, but this is the direction I mean
to head in: http://demo.designerthemes.com/gala/
Or something clean and fresh looking like this:
http://www.kriesi.at/themedemo/?theme=angular
(click on the Template Files menu item and select Page:Sidebar Right... we
probably would only use the portfolio page styling on a page to show sites
using Plumi)
Or one of the responsive themes listed here:

I could handle creating the new Wordpress site easily, just not the new
graphics for banner and buttons. Would be nice to have a proper designer
do that. Would be nice to have them make a couple of things for the blog
too, if need be.
It would be cool to incorporate auto-updated content areas into the blog,
that will indicate the activity of the developer community, like:
* latest commits to Github
* latest resolved tickets on Trac?
* tweets about #Plumi?
* new releases of Plumi on Plone.org...?
Also to feature what Plumi can do a bit more graphically, and
emphatically. In a similar way to how some of those example sites push the
services somebody is offering.
