Accordingly, I would like to task the community to come up with a brand new homepage for LUGNET.

What kind of changes? I don’t mean a facelift to the existing homepage, but rather a complete redesign from the ground up. Anything goes. (Except excessive JavaScript and proprietary stuff like Flash.) Consider it a blank whiteboard.

If you have thoughts or a wishlist, please reply to this thread and add your ideas. If you have mad HTML skills, by all means put on that HTML cap and see what you can come up with. When you have something to share, post a link to it, solicit public critique, make improvements, and let’s see where that goes. Perhaps within a week we could have a honkin’ homepage that totally rules.

Todd - I think it would be a good idea to set up a wish list for new LUGNET features and the LUGNET homepage, so we can look at them concisely, and prioritize them. Then we won’t have to look through big threads to find all of the suggestions.

It would be *really* neat if members could vote to prioritize the links themselves.

(...) Be my guest. :) You can start an FTX page for this in your own member page area or one could be started within a common area. --Todd (20 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
