[Xquartz-dev] Website Facelift

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
