At Wineconf, we made the decision to change the entry page to the Wine web site. The hope was to simplify and stream line it, and to put in place the infrastructure to start moving more content to the Wiki.
Jeremy Newman and Jon Parshall have put a lot of time and energy into a proposed new design, following what we took away from the meetings at Wineconf.
A mock up of that design is up now here: http://wine.codeweavers.com/winehq_new/
...and the theming intended for all 'child' pages of the web site, starting with the Wiki: http://wine.codeweavers.com/winehq_new/wiki.html
Awesome great work guys! Love it for the most part.
Another +1. Looks much more sleek.
Just one nit: I hate secondary scroll bars (the scroll bar for the news). I can live with it of course, just wouldn't be there in my ideal.
But really looks great overall.
Beyond the normal controversy that any new design sparks there is one major potential controversial change.
That is, I am asking for prime placement on the download page on behalf of CodeWeavers instead of the (stale and ugly, sorry) banner ads we used in the past. You can see our current concept around that positioning here: http://wine.codeweavers.com/winehq_new/download.html I hope that the general community sees that as a reasonable exchange for all of the work we put into Wine and hosting the Wine server, and a vast improvement over the banner ads.
Seems reasonable to me.
FYI, you've got Crossover listed twice on that page. You didn't remove it from the bottom.
