Mostly for Ian, but... trying to light a fire under my butt here too.
I'm working on a (static) frontpage redesign for TOS using pktb that might give us something a bit more attractive to display before SIGCSE; I don't promise it'll be done before the weekend, but if I put something online (under some random URL) and the TOS community approves, how hard would it be to get the TOS URL to redirect to it (and then take care of the actual "do it right" file-moving later)?
My current tinkering-draft is up at http://mchua.fedorapeople.org/tosredesign -- note that this matches the theme at http://planet.teachingopensource.org. As you can tell from the images, it's not anywhere near done.
Compare to our current front page, http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page -- I'm trying to go for something cleaner that doesn't have such a huge header, so content begins sooner than halfway down the screen.
The intent is to *only* replace the front page -- what you'd hit on http://teachingopensource.org, essentially. The rest of it would point directly to the Planet, wiki pages, etc. we already have.
If y'all think this is WAY too short notice to put something up, let me know. It's just something we've been talking about for... nearly a year now, and nobody's done it, and I was sitting in the lab late at night and decided to take a stab. :)
