Nice to see it back again :-) Unfortunately, back there it's going to get few responses. Much as Omar is probably going to hate the idea from a design perspective I think it should be on the front page, perhaps under the news etc. Opinions? Regards, Dave

It should definitely be on a high visibility area. The front page is the obvious candidate for that, if that's possible. Hopefully that's workable. If not right away, then in a while at least. First survey should probably be "Do you like the new design? Y/N". :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "One who sees the invisible can do the impossible." + Frank Gaines
Dave, Omar, Justin, FIrst off, I think that the standing web team should get credit in the new site announcement, along with Emily, Omar, Alexey, etc. It's still not clear to a lot of PG users that we *have* a standing web team. And this should be on the web site *somewhere* when you launch it. Second, I agree with Dave about the Elephant. I'm not clear on why it can't appear and not be a link to 8.0. Of course, I don't see that it makes a huge difference, as the site will be up maybe 2 weeks before it has 8.0 on the front. But since we'd like to leave the elephant up after 8.0 is old news, why not design around it now? Third, we *want* to put the new site up before the 8.0 release. Otherwise, we'll be getting a lot of : "8.0 may be enterprise-class, but the PostgreSQL web site is full of broken links ..." from reporters. > First survey should probably be "Do you like the new design? Y/N". Don't think so. If the answer is "N", do we really want to know? :-b -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Agreed. Talking about 8.0 pre 8.0 seems wierd, so why not put up an
announcement about the new website?

Another idea would maybe be to come up with different graphics for different
annoucement themes. For example, we could use the elephant for PostgreSQL
core release announcements, and maybe a spider for website related
annoucnements, and maybe some turtles when we do international announcements,
or maybe a dancing bear whenever Bruce wants to rant about something ;-)
