Re: [Scons-dev] SCons webpage...
The top menu obscures the top of each page, I guess that's what you mean by the over-wide top menu. With that fixed, it looks like it would be able to functionally replace the current version. A bit of styling and color might be nice, with the brick logo etc.? But otherwise I think it's promising. It looks good on mobile too (other than again the top menu obscuring the text), with a hamburger menu to select the different pages. Responsive design and all that modernity.

Dirk, I'd say keep the docs separate. The pelican stylesheets are actually bootstrap stylesheets.

Re: [Scons-dev] SCons webpage...
I guess we should collect some feedback first: What do other people/devs say about the ¨new¨ SCons webpage? Is this a good direction to go, assuming that we adapt some basic style things like the colours of headings, for example? Remember, background of the whole ¨Pelican¨ endeavour was to be able to offer Atom/RSS feeds to users. We should also test how the HTML docs display under the Pelican stylesheets, or would these stay separate? Dirk Am 7.

Hi Gary, I think we should try to get rid of the News section at the top of the main page in general. There will always be the danger of the news items pushing down the rest...if we leave it at its current place. Maybe we can use the left margin (similar to the right menu) to display the latest three News items in a somewhat smaller font? Just as an idea... Dirk Am 7.

Are you just talking about the fact that there are too many releases listed under "Latest News" before you get to "What is SCons" and the quotes etc.? I can fix that.
