After some discussion with the community, I've created the following page http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Brand
To codify what I'm calling the Haskell "brand", meaning the palette, typography and general theme used for our services. HaskellWiki and Haddock set the standard. I'm not wowed by it, but it's pretty good, especially when applied in a more modern way, e.g. http://tryhaskell.org/ocean/ So my proposal is that we continue this standard that's been set, apply it across the board, and clean up the existing work. HaskellWiki and Haddock, for example, are good first implementations of the theme, but they're lacking in things like the font size being too small in places, or the margins being funny or offside, things like that. This proposal should be lacking in any controversy, as I'm not saying to deviate from the design we have, and invite bikeshedding, but the opposite: to taken what we've started to the logical conclusion and apply it properly, so there should be no surprises to anyone in the finished product. Thing: Google. Google+, Maps, Images, etc. are all under one brand. Let's do that. I've identified the following services as coming under this umbrella: and their current state: Haskell.org — grey, blue and orange Haddock — grey, blue and orange Hackage — no particular palette, but Hackage 2 implements the right theme λ Paste — old palette Try Haskell — old palette Haskell News — bootstrap palette Language report — zero palette Hoogle — purple Hayoo — google Planet Haskell — no particular theme I have control over three of them, so I can effect those changes. Neil Mitchell will accept pull requests for Hoogle. The others I'm not sure about yet. I'm also posting to ask if/how I can get access to change things on the Haskell wiki according to the above. I would also like to spruce up the language report, I'm not sure where I would submit patches to for that?
