Hi,
Some clarifications below...

Someone brought this up at BrickFest PDX and others agreed it would
be an excellent idea: Rather than mainly linking to internal LUGNET
resources, the first thing someone should see when they visit the LUGNET
homepage is iconic links to other major community sites and resources,
for example FBTB, BZPower, 1000steine.de, BrickLink, BrikTrak, LDraw.org,
Peeron, BrickSet, BrickShelf, LEGO.com, and so forth.
|
This could also be on a “tab” or something someone selects on the homepage,
rather than the very first things someone sees.
| |
Accordingly, I would like to task the community to come up with a brand new
homepage for LUGNET.
|
To clarify this, I meant for there to be submissions and proposals,
exchange of ideas, and critiques of mock-ups, etc., involving anyone
who wanted to put something forth.
However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Suzanne’s
future prototype page would be
thrown out. In fact, what she came up with there is quite excellent,
and the best thing we have so far. The question in my mind is whether
or not something else would serve better? Perhaps, and perhaps not.
| |
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.
|
And by this I meant: feel free to post proposals/ideas. We’re not looking
first for a graphic designer and then for ideas from that person. We’re
simply looking for ideas, and anyone is free to submit ideas.
I think Suzanne will probably make the final call on the homepage, if she
feels like getting involved.
| |
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.
