> I've been active with Fedora for so long, you guys are the first place
> I could think of to go to for a volunteer site design for
> kernel.org. :)

> website, and as part of that effort I'd like to introduce a slightly
> less austere facelift. Perhaps some of you would like to lend me a
> hand? The following are some of the requirements:
> 1. People go to www.kernel.org to find out the latest kernel
> info, so the releases table seen on the front page must be
> above-fold if at all possible. This is really the core service
> of the site.
> 2. The design should use the default Linux Penguin logo somewhere
> prominent. We *are* the home of Linux.
> 3. The design should remain conservative and elinks-friendly.
> You'd be surprised how many hits we get from terminal
> browsers.
> 4. I think we should keep the existing yellow-white-blue colour
> scheme to preserve continuity.
> 5. "Site news" will be on its own page -- nobody really cares to
> have that on the front page. Other content will be updated and
> shrunk but remain largely similar.
> 6. I like the links-footer
> on https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora, -- something like
> that would work very well for kernel.org.
> 7. It's going to be a statically-generated website using pelican
> (http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/). There is no active
> content anywhere, so all I'm looking for, really, is a very
> handy header and a very handy footer. :)
> If any of you are interested, please let me know. I would be happy to
> provide you with more information. I will be happy, of course, to
> credit the Fedora Design team on the site.
