I disagree. It's easy to read for me.

I think it's enough.

I disagree here : black text on light blue have a good contrast.

Agreed.

Agreed.

We should fine a better background (I showed it to my girlfriend who said it 
looks 80s...). Globally, we could use this to find good colours : 
http://colorschemedesigner.com/

We already have one colour fixed (rabbit blue (0077bf)). What looks good with 
that is orange, but a orange background looks ugly. We could have a black 
background, but white on black is difficult to read.

[freenet-dev] The new blue gradient website background

2009-06-16 Thread Ian Clarke 
We desperately need someone to take ownership of the website, and
particularly its design.  This person doesn't need to be Pablo
Picasso, but they do need some aesthetic sensibilities.

Any volunteers?

Ian.
