Re: Website donation for GNOME project

["Simone Deponti" <shywolf9982 gmail com>]

Well, I fear that the site "as-is" isn't much useful for gnome or plone. Aside from the fact that GNOME still has some mockups, and  a somewhat distinctive style, it's a matter of colors (green plone?), and other little details as the tab persistence (having the active tab shown differently from the others, which is very important in order to help the user in the site navigation).

But it's a very clean and appeasing design, and has some interesting features (note that the main text column rarely exceeds 80 characters, making it far more readable than the actual plone layout).

IMHO with some work and tweaking could be really useful for the new Plone site look, so it would be probably better for you to post this again in a plone-related mailing list.

I don't know about the GNOME project (I believe they already have a design
lined up for the new site), but the open source Plone project is looking
for a new look both for their web site and the CMS:

(Plone is what www.gnome.org is going to use in the next iteration)
