Improving the current layout

Layout = graphics and mostly what can be controlled with the CSS styles.

What's wrong about the current maemo.org layout?

List issues here:

  • Many graphical elements are blurry. Is this a post-process issue, or is it inherent in the original artwork?

What works about the current maemo.org layout?

List positive remarks here:

  • Main page News summaries are good.
  • The idea of posting "The Pearl" is good. Should it just be called "maemo.org Download Picks" (or something)?

Proposals for creating a great maemo.org layout.

List proposals here:

  • Rethink focus of maemo.org as a whole: Are Tablets for coders or regular users? (I think the latter.)
  • Why not wikify the entire site? Midgard is great software, but going completely wiki would speak well of "openness."
  • New color in new maemo.org logo should be used.
  • Make it a fluid layout.
  • Make it more ajaxy. Use jQuery or Prototype (or something) to create a clean, snappy UX.
