Re: Some site re-org
Hi Carl, Ive added a couple of resized versions of the logo, it might as well look its best while it is being used hehe. I made the actual text about the same width as the menu column below it, slightly wider than it normally would have been but not as wide as the way it is now. I also increased the size of the feather on the Q to make it a bit more obvious at the smaller logo size. Ive attached 2 versions to the JIRA, one with padding so you could just write over the top of the one that's there without changing the page source, and one without the padding that needs the source updated to the right image size (69x165). https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12398730/qpid_logo_test9_resized_padded.png https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12398731/qpid_logo_test9_resized.png Robbie On Sat, 2009-01-24 at 21:37 -0500, Carl Trieloff wrote: I have worked the site a bit more, it is work in progress.

Re: Some site re-org
I am going to do some site restructuring. You will note that if AMQP is google Qpid shows up on page 7. Going to do some work to try address this. I am not aware of what is going on with the previous attempt of restructuring the site. I think that was pre-M3.

Ok, then go for it - pick one :-) On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Carl Trieloff cctriel...@redhat.comwrote: Personally I don't think it is a big deal, we can try something, if we don't like it we change it.

I reckon pick two and vote on which one to have is the only way forward in order to get a Yes at the end this time:-) I checked with Debbie on this last year and afaik they're all paid for and we can use whicherever one we like from the existing set. If we want a new one, I guess we need to do it ourselves ? TTfn, Marnie PS 11 was prob my fav last time reading the archives !!

Is there anyone with design skills that could make it look a little nicer? That will make it more likely that those who do find the page spend more time looking at what we have to offer. We should check with ASF infra if we can put a mail footer on the mail lists, with some test and link the home page etc. I'm not hugely keen on that idea.
