Hi all,
Continuing our discussion on the other thread, let's get some real
action. From this email, I will suggest and collecting some ideas
about what we're gonna do with Lazarus web site (and also FPC?). If we
settle with the whole things, we could ask some volunteers to do some
works over the agreed ideas. I can manage my yunior web designer to
help the work, but first I need we agree on how we're gonna
reconstruct the whole site. I hope other would do the same so we could
collaborate on this work.
This is the first thing: appearance and layout. I've collected some
ideas from other development tool websites, maybe they could become
our references. But that's all, just references, because I believe we
want Lazarus (and FPC?) website to be unique and distinguishable from
the others.

Any others more?
Honestly, comparing Lazarus website with the others above, I know we
need to make our Lazarus website better and more appeal to the visitors.
Some things need to be considered are:
- who is our audience main target? students? professionals? hobbiests?
new comers?
- how we gonna appear Lazarus to the audience? cool? serious? funky?
funny?
- ... anything else? ...
Those consideration would be reflected on the color theme, site
layout, wording, etc. So we should really consider them seriously as
those will be impressed on the audience perception.
Please share your ideas and opinions, then get settle on one, and
let's do the work.
