Rivet new website proposals
As promised weeks ago I prepared three choices of
a new website for Rivet.
The pages look quite nicer than the current site's,
they're simple adaptations of canned xhtml free templates.
Using my small Rivet based engine (I going to publish it
soon) was easy to regenerate the current website with a
different look.
Pages are browseable at
http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/wondrous/static/index.html
http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/xhtml10/index.html
http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/a_bit_boxy/index.html
The look doesn't have a tight connection with either web scripting,
Tcl or Rivet (as an object also), but this is what you get for free
and after all this is better than the rather 'frugal' pages
I had styled years ago.
Actually, this would be the first open source project web site that
I know claiming a copyright on the design, but the license allows
anyone to use and modify it, provided you keep the credit link.
Moving these pages to the current web space is straightforward,
being again simple html files generated from the site content.

It seems a majority consent is shaping up for 'wondrous'. I would have
sworn the americans liked the bold and sleek appearance of it.
I liked also 'xhtml10', but I have in mind a purpose for this one, so
if it's ok I will publish the new 'wondrous' styled pages later
tonight.
If you guys feel like you have something to write for the website
I will gladly put it swiftly online. As soon as I'm satisfied
with my work documenting and amending the Rivet based engine
that generated the html pages everyone will be able to do it on its own
thanks

My first impression, I like "wondrous" best. It's a huge improvement over
what we have now.

Initially I chose 'wondorous' for the same reason: it looked like it had
character, but the more I looked at it the more I feel like it could be
too much after a while.

they are, as I said, but they have the good characteristic of being
balanced. Something more could be done by replacing the graphics with
some picture that might allude to the project name. I briefly looked for
a picture representing something like a riveted part of a building or
ship or even airplane (that would be a twofold reference to both Rivet
and Flightaware...), something the could be suggestive of organization,
strength and robustness....I found none of them....
thanks for expressing your thoughts

Hi,
I like the xhtml10 one more, than the others, but that is my personal
feeling.
Nice work you have done, Massimo!

The first link seems to be bad. I think this is the URL you intended:
http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/wondrous/index.html
I actually like the "wondrous" best, because the red theme nicely
complements the logo. However, some might see it as having too much?
The "xhtml10" and "a_bit_boxy" designs look too generic.
