Hi, Fedora design team!
I apologize for a non-fedora request, but considering that we're
"upstream" of Fedora, I figured it wouldn't be too frowned upon.
Plus, I've been active with Fedora for so long, you guys are the
first place I could think of to go to for a volunteer site
design for kernel.org.
:)
If any of you have visited www.kernel.org lately,
you'll notice that it looks like it was last revamped in 1995.
I'm working on redoing the website, and as part of that effort
I'd like to introduce a slightly less austere facelift.
Perhaps some of you would like to lend me a hand? The
following are some of the requirements:
- People go to www.kernel.org to find
out the latest kernel info, so the releases table seen on
the front page must be above-fold if at all possible. This
is really the core service of the site.
- The design should use the default Linux Penguin
logo somewhere prominent. We *are* the home of Linux.
- The design should remain conservative and
elinks-friendly. You'd be surprised how many hits we get
from terminal browsers.
- I think we should keep the existing
yellow-white-blue colour scheme to preserve continuity.
- "Site news" will be on its own page -- nobody
really cares to have that on the front page. Other content
will be updated and shrunk but remain largely similar.
- I like the links-footer on https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora,
-- something like that would work very well for kernel.org.
- It's going to be a statically-generated website
using pelican (http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/).
There is no active content anywhere, so all I'm looking
for, really, is a very handy header and a very handy
footer. :)
If any of you are interested, please let me know. I would
be happy to provide you with more information. I will be
happy, of course, to credit the Fedora Design team on the
site.
Best,

Konstantin,
Is the source used to generate this page with Pelican available
anywhere for us to play with? or is this not publically accessible?
cheers,
