Redesign of the www.rockbox.org front page
sanusart:
Ok, I think I remembered everything, except of the "happier" implementation as I currently want to focus on the layout. "Happyness" can be implemented through nice pictures though.

I like it, but agree on the darkness. Light but not bright! I assume in the main part of the page you will still have recent activity (actually the only one I personally think is a must for the front page is SVN activity).

I like it, except for one minor thing: in IE6, hovering over the links doesn't show the destination URL in the status bar, though it does seem to work in Firefox.
Content-wise, I think it would be good if the main part of the page were as simple as possible: a very brief description of what Rockbox is (plus link to WhyRockbox), a list of which players are supported, a big obvious "How to get Rockbox on your player" link (going to a page describing where to find the appropriate downloads/manuals) and a screenshot or "featured theme" as suggested earlier.
Underneath this section could go the news items (which could/should(?) include items from MajorChanges), and following that, some "developer" links off to a Recent Activity page, build table, etc. I'm not sure how much value those SVN/mailing list updates have to Joe Public.
I'm a big believer in "Keep It Simple, Stupid" :D
psycho_maniac:
I like the new layout even more. "http://www.sanusart.com/rocksite/rock/st.php" but agree to LinusN's suggestion

But there are many many changes per day that can be important to me/people that doesn't get a major changes item but that I want to know. I realise I could bookmark another page / use the RSS feed / whatever, but to me SVN updates is a 'project status' if you will and belongs on the front page. I do however agree that mailing list / wiki etc. could be relegated.
