Hello Tim, Thanks, that's a great initiative!
Given the well-documented success rate of design by committee, including our experience redesigning djangoproject.com, there's a risk that an inconclusive discussion on this mailing list will prevent your proposal from moving forwards. Perhaps a good way to avoid that would be to form a small team (two or three people, including yourself and at least one committer) to evaluate the feedback and reach consensus in a smaller group. (I'm happy to help with the technical aspects e.g. how to load fonts.) For what it's worth, I noticed a couple layout glitches in the current proposal, but nothing major: - <main> can overlap <header> and <footer> at small heights e.g. with developer tools open at the bottom - links look bad at 320px wide — try the "iPhone 5" setting in Chrome's responsive view Best regards, -- Aymeric. > On 18 Apr 2017, at 17:44, Tim Allen <t...@peregrinesalon.com> wrote: > > I've had the privilege of introducing Django to many people over the past > several years.
