mirrors.fp.o/publiclist page design help needed

[Matt Domsch]

The primary visible web pages that list our 200 global mirror servers
look pretty ugly.  It's all my fault; I went for functional at first,
hoping to add design later.  So they're functional, but not pretty.
But starting on Thursday, they'll get a *lot* of pageviews.

So, I'm asking for help.  I'd love for the pages at:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/
to look better.  I'm open to any and all suggestions.

The code that generates those pages is part of mirrormanager, a
TurboGears app.  It's a kid template that can be seen here:
http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/mirrormanager;a=blob;f=mirrors/mir...

All the mirrormanager code is available at
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/mirrormanager


Any and all advise welcome.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

I'm trying to work on master.kid, publiclist.kid but
cannot seem to get the app started.  (It's a little
too hard to tell what they look like as served, by
just opening the .kid templates with a browser):

[cwt@jane mirrors]$ ./start-mirrors.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./start-mirrors.py", line 26, in ?
    from mirrors.controllers import Root
  File
"/home/cwt/mirrormanager/mirrors/mirrors/controllers.py",
line 18, in ?
    import mirrors.mirrorlist
  File
"/home/cwt/mirrormanager/mirrors/mirrors/mirrorlist.py",
line 9, in ?
    import GeoIP
ImportError: No module named GeoIP


However, I can't seem to easy_install GeoIP ? (still a
TG/Python newb)

[root@jane ~]# easy_install GeoIP
Searching for GeoIP
Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/GeoIP/
Couldn't find index page for 'GeoIP' (maybe
misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/
No local packages or download links found for GeoIP
error: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requirement.parse('GeoIP')
[root@jane ~]#

Try a "yum install python-GeoIP"
