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.


This is in reply to the new site design and take lugnet to a new level post

While the new site is being developed and tested, place it at lugnet.org once it is finalized .org will become the “official” site. This is consistant with developing a non-profit. The .com address can then be used as the “beta” site for site upgrades
