- i now have found a way to get rid of the tables we currently use - i really dont like the dark background-image - the font size is too small - why do we in fact show the books
And similar opinions from everyone else, both directions.
Too many cooks in the kitchen, so I'll try an keep my suggestions limited from now on.
We actually have two cooks in the house, Allan and Thomas, the rest are testing on different platforms and occasionaly suggest cool ideas :) So I think we are doing quite well controversy-wise.
Please don't confuse 'bug' reports with 'wish' reports. The only controversy so far was the font size.
Here's my offer: I'd be willing to put in a two or three hundred dollars for professional design help.
You know that you cannot do much with US$300 and even much more.
You also forget that professional looking sites are many times a hell to maintain. Unless you or somebody else wishes to stand out and volunteer to maintain such a site, I don't think it's a good idea.
I know that's a crazy idea, so before anyone yells at me, read on, please.
I think all the designs are fine (ignoring the rendering problems for a
moment). Any of the designs could be frozen at this point and they would
be just fine.
The question is: can it be much better, and is that important?
I think the solution can be completely different. We may need to create another site which pitches mod_perl as a technology. perl.apache.org is the documentation/resources site. This is just an idea of course. In this case you go crazy and create this very slick professional site, which probably doesn't need to be maintained as it's not going to change.
Again, I'm not against professionaly looking site. All I want is to make easier the lives of those who use mod_perl already, i.e. in their daily use of mod_perl documentation and other resources. Therefore it's possible that these two ideas contradict.
May be modperl.org or modperl.com should be the 'sale' points.
I asked my friends for design help with my old sailing club's web site a few days ago. Yesterday they sent me a suggestion, and last night I installed it. It's all template-toolkit driven.

May be I'm the wrong person to judge, but I don't think this site is professional at all. Or may be it's just my browser :) If you think it's professionaly looking, you probably know better, so scratch my comment. :)
