[KJ] [RFC] new design for kerneljanitors.org REV 2

[Michael Veeck]

Hi everybody,

after looking a bit more at how CSS works I want to propose the second 
revision of my rework of the kerneljanitors-homepage.

- Still looks like the current page but is now 100% valid XHTML-1.1
- Tested under Firefox, Opera, Konqueror and IE 6
- Uses only CSS to define its style.
- The design can be changed totally via CSS. To demonstrate this I also 
came up with a CSS-style that looks a lot like the current kernel.org, 
which Firefox allows by selecting it in the "View"-Menu.

The page can be accessed under:
http://www.veeck.de/janitor/index.html

I hope this code makes it to the official site, as I do not know how to 
make it any better ;-)

Have a nice day
Michael Veeck

Mostly OK under links. Will try lynx.

I like this Firefox feature. I like a-la "kernel.org" CSS much better
than current. I'd like to make "kernel.org" CSS the default one.

It certainly will.

[KJ] [RFC] new design for kerneljanitors.org?

[Michael Veeck]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 950 bytes --]

Good evening,

One might argue that a corporate design is long overdue for the various 
linux-kernel projects ;-)

So while the heat in germany hinders me from doing sophisticated kernel 
stuff, I gave the old kerneljanitor webpage a design based on the 
kernel.org site (just took me 30 minutes).

A first version can be found at http://veeck.dyndns.org/

There are of course two things which I need to know:

- your comments and thoughts about such a change, especially from Domen 
Puncer since he is the official maintainer. I did not make any changes 
to the content, but there seems to be a need for refreshing it too. For 
instance the link to "Acme's original Janitor TODO list" is not valid 
anymore.

- the permission of the kernel.org-webmaster (or whoever owns the 
copyright to their stylesheet) to use and modify their css-file. Is it 
alright from your side?

So, who wants to start the bashing? ;-)

Have a cool night
Michael Veeck

Great work, nice rendering with Firefox beta2.
2 comments:
- On my display, with the classic CSS, the title is split, I got the word
"page" all alone written just below the pingouin.
- Maybe you can adjust the fonts size. Just my feeling, but I found the
title too small and the normal text too big, especially the links in bold.

Thx for the feedback although I just installed the first 
release-candidate of Firefox (Windows) and saw the page rendered 
correctly. Anyway, changing the width of the header would be no problem 
with the css-based design.
As would be changing the size of the fonts, which are (at least for the 
classic design) taken over directly from the original page.
So if you have the time (and some skill) why not try to design your own 
css-file and show us how the page can look a lot more different ;-) ?

Best reagrds

Looks good too, though I had to make the #headmain even wider to 
compensate for the bigger font-size.

I added that style as classicstyle2 on the webpage, see for yourself now.

Best regards
