I was very impressed by the design and so had a go and turning it into a web
page:
http://astavale.co.uk/fedoracommunity/
I know the design has changed a bit since then, but the bulk of the work on the
page is done and any amendments should hopefully be fairly quick.
The page is a fluid layout using floats and margins. It is optimized for
1024x768, but will display fine at 800x480. The columns of links reduce from one
to two. The columns also increase as the page size increase - try it with
holding CTRL and pressing minus in Firefox. 930.gs seems to suffer a bit from
divitis (lots of divs in the markup) so not sure it is the best solution. The
code I've generated for this page is inline below for people to comment on and
review.
I've put a lot of work in to the page to make it degrade gracefully, the only
section that needs probably a bit more work is the in page navigation bar. It
doesn't cope with two lines very well. Otherwise it works very well and the
markup is clean. This will help with maintenance. A new link can be added just
by copying a list item and amending the text. The items flow from right to left
and down. Creating a down then on to another column on the right flow is more
complex and less flexible. So it is a compromise.
The first China link is the same as the Bangladesh link, this was in the mockup
too. Can someone please correct this.
The styling and markup are attached inline below for people to make comments:
