Hi Ruchiranga, Thank you for your interest in helping us! The best way to start contributing is to get in touch with the project team. Unfortunately I am not the best person to help with WICKET-3341. This task requires requires more web design skills than (web) development skills. >From the short resume of your skills I see that you are like me - more a mathematician/logical guy than an artist. Anyway, if you think that you can help and this task would be fun for you then you have these options:
*) clone https://github.com/dashorst/wicket-site and improve it *) create a completely new design In both cases you can share your work with us (by giving us the url to your GitHub/BitBucket/... project) and/or attaching screenshots in the ticket. I can help you with the setup of Jekyll - the tool we use to build the static site. I hope other people here will help you with the task itself - the web design.
