Here are a couple pages I made a long time ago that have always been in the
Plan directory, but didn't go into the Plan document. These are HTML pages
rather than scans from a notebook:
A graphic design idea (a tabular layout in this case) of a lexicon as mentioned
on page 4 of the plan:
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/lexicon-sample.html
It's hand-coded HTML -- not coming from a database -- but it wouldn't be too
hard to make something like this be database driven, in theory.
And some early sketches a possible icon-based homepage:
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/iconsketch.html
These were drawn with paper & pencil and scanned into the computer in 1996.
We steered away from this approach for top-level pages because bandwidth
was really tight in those days. We felt the minifigs also looked perhaps
confusingly similar to the official LEGO website at the time.
Somewhere I've also got a bunch of very old, very early homepage designs
saved away that probably still display on modern browsers. They're probably
not very interesting, though, beyond a historical perspective.
Suzanne's stuff is a lot more in-depth. I'm looking forward to seeing what
she scans and puts up for folks to see. Some of the stuff I may not even
have seen myself yet. :-)
