Hi, Fedora design team!
I apologize for a non-fedora request, but considering that we're
"upstream" of Fedora, I figured it wouldn't be too frowned upon. Plus,
I've been active with Fedora for so long, you guys are the first place
I could think of to go to for a volunteer site design for kernel.org
<http://kernel.org>. :)
If any of you have visited www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org>
lately, you'll notice that it looks like it was last revamped in 1995.
I'm working on redoing the website, and as part of that effort I'd
like to introduce a slightly less austere facelift. Perhaps some of
you would like to lend me a hand? The following are some of the
requirements:
1. People go to www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org> to find out
the latest kernel info, so the releases table seen on the front
page must be above-fold if at all possible. This is really the
core service of the site.
2. The design should use the default Linux Penguin logo somewhere
prominent. We *are* the home of Linux.
3. The design should remain conservative and elinks-friendly. You'd
be surprised how many hits we get from terminal browsers.
4. I think we should keep the existing yellow-white-blue colour
scheme to preserve continuity.
5. "Site news" will be on its own page -- nobody really cares to have
that on the front page. Other content will be updated and shrunk
but remain largely similar.
6. I like the links-footer on
https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora, -- something like that
would work very well for kernel.org <http://kernel.org>.
7. It's going to be a statically-generated website using pelican
(http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/). There is no active content
anywhere, so all I'm looking for, really, is a very handy header
and a very handy footer. :)
If any of you are interested, please let me know. I would be happy to
provide you with more information. I will be happy, of course, to
credit the Fedora Design team on the site.
Best,

Konstantin,
Is the source used to generate this page with Pelican available anywhere
for us to play with? or is this not publically accessible?
cheers,
ryanlerch
