(I am :-) In many ways the colours are the last-important part, but I like the idea of having something bright to catch attention. if you can define them in one place, like CSS, that's true, otherwise it's pain to maintain. Though I prefer mild colours, not shouting ones. I use the site all the time, and I don't need to be shouted at. May be we want a splash page just for some entrance page, which those who use the site daily don't have to see. I like the colours at use.perl.org and even more the ones used by http://freshmeat.net/. In any case, I like the organizational scheme you've got. Having everything on a single page was a pain in the butt. Glad to hear it. If nobody objects to the structure, we could put it into CVS and open it up for others to work on. If I'm the only one working on it, it'll take far too long. Does this sound the right time for CVS? cvs where? it has to stay at perl.apache.org I believe. Also what components framework have you used, is it Mason? Is it a static page or dynamic? Otherwise it's good to have someone to push for a change, I think I'll help with the content once we figure out the skeleton. But it'd be nice to give some good web-designer do some brushing, no offense Nat :) We can show it on the modperl list and ask for a better look and feel from those who know how. _ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/

I'd hoped to find the time to plug the holes this week, but haven't been able to. So here it is, woefully incomplete. The URL is: http://c1853353-a.ftclns1.co.home.com/~gnat/modperl/ I've got: * Home page * About * Download done. My plan was to just go through perl.apache.org and move content into that framework (for instance, success stories and testimonials go as a page under 'About'). There are some web design To Do items: * ensure colors are part of the standard palette (right now they're just easy to type in hex :-) * contemplate CSS and enforcing standards like all links are in bold.

What I want to say, is that it's not a point of where to host the site. The point is that we need someone to do the job of re-doing and making it easy to maintain the site, to keep it nice. jim's design is still available if somebody wants to use it.
