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

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.

It may be off topic, but I think it would be very cool if the site was designed
using CSS layout, i.e. no nested tables. A great example site is:

It would make site development very straightforward, and allow people to switch
look and feels very easily.
