It's interesting to compare http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/ with |
| 2 |
http://www.aaronshi.com/gentoo/mainindex.html. One of the things that I |
| 3 |
always liked about the original design was the fact that the front page |
| 4 |
held a considerable amount of information without needing much vertical |
| 5 |
scrolling. On the other hand, I like the fact that the current |
| 6 |
iteration says something about what Gentoo actually is, which just seems |
| 7 |
like a good idea on the front page. (Although I'd prefer to modify the |
| 8 |
text a bit so that it starts with "Gentoo is" and is limited to just one |
| 9 |
or two sentences.) |

In fact, I've been thinking that it might be nice to remove the news |
| 12 |
from the front page altogether (we could always have a news.gentoo.org for |
| 13 |
people who mainly use the site for news), which would leave plenty of |
| 14 |
space for the "Documentation", "Resources", and "Community" panels with |
| 15 |
limited scrolling. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
As an aside, I would prefer to see something fairly soon, even if it's |
| 18 |
more a face lift than a redesign, than wait another year before we |
| 19 |
update the site. |
