Tim,
What do you guys think about a total redesign of LDraw.org? The PostNuke
interface does make it easy for many people to edit the site--a key reason we
did the CMS in the first place. But, it does appear clunky throughout and could
really use a facelift and some nice custom graphic design to bring it up to
date.
I wonder if anyone in the community would be willing to either 1) build new,
sharp-looking skins and graphics for the current CMS or 2) update the CMS
entirely (CMS'es have progressed far beyond PostNuke in efficiency and
aesthetics since a few years ago--see http://www.expressionengine.com or
http://www.joomla.org).
Obviously that's up to you guys (and the volunteer availability), but I'd love
to see the site get a facelift.
-Tim
