I'm definitely not a design/color person, but has anyone considered using <a href="http://kuler.adobe.com">kuler.adobe.com</a> as a source of "nice" color schemes, since we seem to have an issue coming up with attractive combinations? <br>

Well, they make the wannabe-designer mistake of using justified text<br>
in HTML, even worse, for columns just 3 words wide.<br>
<br>
The overall layout, is pretty nice though. It's essentially the<br>
standard Web 2.0 layout (compare <a href="http://basecamphq.com/" target="_blank">http://basecamphq.com/</a>,<br>
<a href="http://www.blinksale.com/" target="_blank">http://www.blinksale.com/</a>, <a href="http://www.analysis-one.com/" target="_blank">http://www.analysis-one.com/</a>, etc.). The<br>
key design elements are (IMO):<br>
<br>
- Put the important stuff at the top and separate it visually from<br>
the "other stuff". The important things are: (1) the quick summary<br>
of Haskell, (2) the "Get Haskell" button, (3) link to "Learn Haskell"<br>
/ "Try Haskell"<br>
<br>
- We may have a second row/column of secondary important stuff, like<br>
community, project hosting, more implementations, the top learning<br>
materials, etc. links to Haskell users<br>
<br>
- News, Events, etc. can go further down<br>
<br>
I'm not particularly attached to any particulars of my suggested<br>
design. I just thought I'll try to encourage to move away much<br>
further from the current wiki-like and somewhat dull design.<br>
