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.
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.

Hi all,
I can’t offer my html knowledge - it’s only poor. But I like to suggest some
ideas following up Todd’s ideas. An umbrella on a very first level might really
be helpful. So users might got the chance to go their way while starting at
lugnet.com.
If someone needs parts and set info, go to peeron, guide.lugnet, brickshelf,
brickset .. If someone wants online interaction with other fans, he/she should
be guided to the variour lugnet newsgroups and other internatinal boards. If
someone needs information about community issues, he/she might find the calender
of local/global events .. If someone needs building ideas, he/she could follow
up to bricksonthebrain.com, ldraw.org, etc. If someone wants to shop, go to
bricklink, ...
If you first dorp in, a selection of “your” language might be very helpful.
Probably only on that first level. That might help to get an overview. As said,
I can’t type code to realise this, but I might help with the translation into
German.
As others mentioned allready, a follow up of recent stories, galleries,
additions to peeron/brickshelf/etc. would be nice.
What about a counter on threads to show how often a posting is read in total?
The German forum around computer issues http://www.spotlight.de offers such a
feature. “This post has been viewed XX times.”
And: keep it simple, not to much flash or java script. Some companies might
block these features.
Just some of my thoughts ...
