Re: [Lazarus] Reconstructing Lazarus Website 1: the appearance
It would be better a custom design... Could we talk to the Rik - http://silvioclecio.blogspot.com/2009/12/rik-lee-inkscape-com-arte.html Could you help me provide the images, icon, etc for the new web site? My designer is doing this in his spare time, I can't push him too much because he also got some works to do. More people help me on this website reconstructing work, it'll be better (and faster as well). The focus of mine is more on the layout and content structure, because I have no skill on web design and graphic art.

Can anybody help me provide pictures and icons about cheetah? Or can anybody point me to good resources of it? I need it for the new Lazarus website design. TIA. I also need some slogans or buzz words/sentences for the design. My yunior web designer could help with the design and layout, but he doesn't know how to build the wording. He also never heard or use FPC/ Lazarus since -obviously- he's not a programmer. :D Please, give me you ideas.

Re: [Lazarus] Reconstructing Lazarus Website 1: the appearance
http://images.google.com/images?q=cheetah Of course, that would be my first destination. :P But what I need here is more iconic, or cartoonish, not real pictures. It's pretty hard to find like those in google. I could ask my designer to draw one, but it'd take some amount of time. :) -- -Bee- ...making buzzes at http://twitter.com/beezing ...writing stories at http://beeography.wordpress.com -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] Reconstructing Lazarus Website 1: the appearance
When switching to brown it conflicts with the forum. Yes, but we could ignore it for now because we couldn't fix all the things at once. Then there is again a site vs. forum. The main problem is there's no website for lazarus, as some people thought. Current lazarus website is the forum. while we wanted to keep things closer integrated. (otoh, when we finally can switch to smf2 then there is no prob) Yes, I agree with the integration idea, all in one place i.e. the website (product portal), forum, svn browser, documentation, wiki, mantis, contribution section, lazarus ccr, etc. But we can only work on them one in a time. My current focus is the product portal of Lazarus and FPC. Unless, there's someone else would like to collaborate with me to work on the other parts. -- -Bee- ...making buzzes at http://twitter.com/beezing ...writing stories at http://beeography.wordpress.com -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

I'm sorry, I searched with wrong query. Trying http://images.google.com/images?q=cheetah+cartoon resulted more cartoonish images.

Re: [Lazarus] Reconstructing Lazarus Website 1: the appearance
Hi. - how we gonna appear Lazarus to the audience? cool? serious? funky? funny? Make a joke about Pascal as a historical language which is only for people stuck in the past. Back to 1980's anyone ... Don Johnson -- Miami Vice -- Bee Gees -- Free Pascal Compiler! The fact is that Pascal is not a fashionable language now. It was taught in schools back in 1980's but not any more. The casual visitor should realize, after reading the page, that it is actually a modern and competitive language and Lazarus is a proof of its capabilities. So, the answer to your question is funky. Lazarus, the funky development environment! Spice that with pictures of disco-style from 1980's.
