Pretty nice Puneet. It reminds me of an online magazine (somewhere to read as
opposed to somewhere to get something). I like the dashboard that Daniel has
put together to get PDL and find out about it. However, this would be cool for
the wiki if it could follow this theme. Just thinking about how the Mathworld
site is different from the Wolfram site, although both centred on Wolfram, one
is the product and the other is the knowledge.
My Thoughts.

Subject: [Perldl] web site mockup
At the risk of starting a tempest in a tea cup, attached is a mock up of the
PDL web site. It is based on the general theme that Daniel has developed, but
is a bit more serious, perhaps spartan.
I mocked it up in Omni Graffle quickly, so I didn't tinker with the
fonts/buttons/fields, etc. This is just a suggestion to show where it could go.
Main differences from current direction --
- no animations: I find animations distracting
- a PDL logo that spells pdl, not pool or poodl. I like the infinity concept,
and liked a few interim iterations before the current one came by
- one large image holder, no images in the banner
- search field moved to the top
- sidebar divided into about/get/learn/develop, playing on the logo prompt theme
- sidebar with direct links to download, and installation instructions for 3
major desktop platforms
- a few different fonts
The mock up is merely a suggestion, which means, it doesn't have to be taken.
It is offered in the spirit of a second eye, a different take.
;-)
