Thank you sir. I hear your point about the colors. Since we all have our preference I think it would be tough to find a color scheme that we all like. So perhaps as you said something as neutral as possible would be the best. The idea was to have two matching color shades that have enough contrast for the menu and the main area. (The 3rd color was only for the main page to highlight the brokers and clients boxes) So during on the weekend I could have another stab at making it as neutral possible. > I would definitely like to see a new design in place for the 0.6 > release, even if for nothing other than the front page...first > impressions and all that. > > Robbie > > 2009/12/4 Rajith Attapattu <[email protected]>: >> Hi >> >> One option for giving our website a facelift, is to have static html >> pages for content that rarely change and the rest to be generated via >> docbook. >> I had some free time in the evening and tried my hand at creating a >> prototype for our website. >> >> http://people.apache.org/~rajith/qpid/ >> >> If you guys like the approach taken, I am happy to attach it to a JIRA >> and submit it. >> Subsequently we could put it in svn under a folder called site. >> After that I could slowly add the rest of the static pages as time permits. >> If there is interest I could try to get it completed before our >> upcoming release. >> >> Regards, >> >> Rajith Attapattu >> Red Hat >> http://rajith.2rlabs.com/ >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation >> Project: http://qpid.apache.org >> Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected] >> >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation > Project: http://qpid.apache.org > Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected] > > -- Regards, Rajith Attapattu Red Hat http://rajith.2rlabs.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected]
