Hi everyone, you may have noticed that the project's website at http://pyjs.org has changed at least twice, and quite a bit since our project transition and the move to the GitHub platform earlier this year. We will take the final step now, and we need YOUR support: If you are a web designer or just a natural born wizard of beautiful design ideas and stunning logos. Please volunteer now, WE WANT YOU!
>From the very beginning the plan was to move the website into an environment where it can be edited both easily and safely by everyone in our community, and provide the collaboratively collected information on Pyjs as a good-looking state-of-the-art website that attracts new users and serves all the information needed by people interested in Pyjs. The not totally obvious, but probably clever choice was that we wanted to use GitHub's convenient (Wiki) infrastructure, and use a tool to automagically create a beautiful website out of it. The tool of choice was and stil is Sphinx [1], most notably a Python technology (of course!) to create documentation from reStructuredText files. The current website is generated from .rest files already, which is what Wiki pages are on GitHub: version-controlled .rest files. Sphinx will replace the "hand-coded" generation of the website that Anthony hacked into the build.py script [2]. What is missing now is a great design for the new webstite. We need a Corporate Design with the existing or a new Pyjs logo as a basis for all this. Can YOU do this? Please volunteer! Technically, the new website will run Sphinx themes. Built-in themes are here [3], we'll probably take one of those and adapt it to our needs. This will be the second part of the web design work we're looking for volunteers for. If YOU think you can do some of that work, please speak up now. Thank you everyone!
