Hi,

we are happy to announce that SMW now has a new homepage *and* a new 
logo! To see the change, regular visitors to our site might have to use 
"Shift-Reload" (e.g. shift+ctrl+r on Firefox) to reload the new styles 
of the page.


Here are the main improvements:

* The new homepage has a more functional structure and more direct links 
to relevant sections. We have made an effort to not let the amount of 
information become too overwhelming.

* The new logo provides a expressive, recognisable, and friendly face to 
the project. Further versions and sources will be published soon. The 
frame, colour scheme, and font will also be useful to create a more 
unified appearance for logos of SMW extensions.

* The new "Wiki of the Month" section introduces one exciting and 
inspiring SMW site each month. The new series will be useful for users 
to learn about SMW, but also for wiki communities and tool developers to 
showcase their projects. Don't miss your opportunity of getting 
featured! Contact wikiofthemonth(at)semantic-mediawiki.org for proposing 
a site as Wiki of the Month.



These changes largely complete a number of action items that have been 
discussed at recent SMWCons (the logo actually has been discussed since 
more than a year now). Various further changes will still happen, e.g. 
to improve the look of sub-pages and to change language versions. Some 
details could also still change but the basic new style and "corporate 
identity" should be stable now.

This is a big step forward for the project, and we would like to thank 
everybody who contributed to these efforts. Not all wishes could 
eventually be taken into account for the new main page or logo, but we 
think that the new style honours many of the comments we got.

Cheers,

Markus
