Hey Kyle, Thanks for the examples. Those are quite clean and simple layouts. Would you be willing to do a similar design for XQuartz? If not, do I have your permission to use yours as a template? How should I credit you at the bottom? Thanks, Jeremy On Mar 9, 2012, at 9:01 AM, Kyle McKay <mackyle@gmail.com> wrote:

Jeremy,

Here are examples of some of my project landing pages:

No table of contents:

http://mackyle.github.com/fakeroot/

With table of contents:

http://mackyle.github.com/blocksruntime/

Slightly different style:

http://solwidget.googlecode.com/git-history/www/About.html

Or an even smaller landing page (it's embedded in the "readme" section -- it's not my project, but I created the mirror and did the landing page for the mirror) that may most closely match what you're looking for as it's short (fits on a single page) and has everything you might want to know about the project if you're in a hurry right there in front of you:

http://repo.or.cz/w/class-dump.git

Let me know if you like any of them and I'll produce a page for you if you give me the content (I'm assuming you'd want just a little bit more content than you have on your example landing.html page). :)

Hey guys,

I thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone has any mad web skills they'd like to show off.

I want to give the XQuartz landing page a bit of a face lift to make it easier for people to install the latest bits without having to dive through a wiki. wiki's are great for detailed information, but many people probably just want a big "click here to get the bits" button like http://www.firefox.com ... I don't want to replace the existing wiki, just provide a new landing page.

The main problem is that I really suck at web design. No really, I'm down right awful at it. I can handle all the technical bits, but I can't do CSS and layout to save my skin. So if you've got layout chops and want to help out, please drop me a line either on the list or personally.

I threw up a quick example of what I'm aiming for content wise here (and to serve as proof of my lack of HTML skills): http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/testing/landing.html

And as fair warning, if nobody responds, that ugly page might just be what I end up using ;)

Thanks, Jeremy
