Testlayout for the main page (work in progress)

I'm working on a new main page to make the wiki look a bit more welcoming. This is just a temporary solution until the GNUstep homepage moves to the wiki (if at all), then the plain but elegant look of www.gnustep.org should be ported.

Here's a first mock-up. I lifted most of the style and tables-code from the Wikipedia frontpage, hope nobody hunts me down for that~

  • Regarding the news box, there should be a "older news" thingy. I saw that Wikipedia uses some sort of template or something to include the article of the day. This could be abused for a special news tempate with 2 headings (recent and old news), where the 10 most recent news are kept under the first and the rest under the second heading. Then, some sort of template-referencing-voodoo is used to include the new stuff somehow. But this is pure speculation on my part.
  • The PoeIcon is a placeholder.
  • Put the "Users" and "Developers" boxes in the navigation on the left or maybe in a template or a simple float? I opt for the nav box but got to see how that works :o


File:PoeIcon.png GNUstep is a cross-platform, object-oriented set of frameworks for desktop application development. This set of frameworks, based on OpenStep (now Cocoa), enables developers to rapidly build sophisticated software by employing a large library of reusable software components. GNUstep is already used in production environments at several organizations. Sounds interesting? Have a look at the more in-depth introduction!
