Oak website design update

[Jukka Zitting <ju...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

We had a chance to ask a real designer (instead of just me and my two
left eyes) take a look at improving the design of the Oak website. He
came up with screenshots of two alternative design ideas:

    1) http://people.apache.org/~jukka/2012/oak/oak-design-1.png
    2) http://people.apache.org/~jukka/2012/oak/oak-design-2.png

To move forward, please give feedback on which approach you'd like
better. Also ideas for improvement are welcome, but to avoid designing
the site by committee it's probably best to stick only to general
guidelines and leave the details up to the designer.

PS. My favorite is design 2.

BR,

Jukka Zitting

+1 for #2 as well, however, you may want to consider 
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap as your base css framework for the 
site and make the nav and things a bit more modern.
