Hi!
I have been putting some free time into creating a "design skeleton" for
a new http://d-programming-language.org
<http://www.d-programming-language.org/> front page:
http://digitalpoetry.se/D%20website/D%20overview%20design.png
My main concern is presenting newcomers with an inspiring and relevant
first impression of D. I think there is lots to gain by having a more
alive front page not based on Ddoc (the rest of the site could still be
based on it).
I have not attempted adding any visual style to the design myself since
its not one of my strengths. It should be made to fit better with the
overall theme of d-programming-language.org
<http://d-programming-language.org> (although IMO it's currently a bit
too dark and foreboding).
I must confess to being heavily inspired by http://ooc-lang.org
<http://ooc-lang.org/> and http://cobra-language.com
<http://cobra-language.com/>.
As creating this would take a significant time investment, I suggest
that some more complex sections of the page could be released after the
initial version. I have some background in web development but have been
almost exclusively doing professional C++ games development during the
last 4 years. I would not mind putting some more work into this but am
also hopeful that some others in the D community desire to contribute.
Constructive feedback with a minimum of bikeshedding is welcome.
(Please avoid discussions about specific textual content for now, its
just placeholders).
Cheers,
Chris
I like it! Definitely a few tweaks needed to it, that page is far more
welcoming than anything D has currently though.
