RFC: Home page design

[Todd Densmore]

Wow - thanks for your hard work. In my opinion this is the best revision
yet, and almost perfect.

My feedback:

1. I prefer the navigation on the 960 width. It looks cleaner in the
mockup...
2. I think these are the right actions, and I like the icons (more yellow ==
more cowbell).
3. I like the icons (see above).
4. Additional constructive comments:

The icons are very clean and clever. I would love it if they were a bit
smaller (icon vs. logo).

I would smile if the "extend" icon was different from the main logo -
perhaps parallel arrows (one dashed arrow), or the merge arrow pointing to
the right, etc.

I suggest reducing the height of the first main horizontal page division
(the one with the Bazaar logo and the image of the diff plugin). This area
shouldn't actually provide much information other than the current release,
and branding elements.The additional screen real estate could be filled by:
making the top navigation menu larger (double height might allow for the
reuse of the clever road sign icons - HOME yellow sign with small black
house in it, DOCS yellow sign with black book, CONTRIBUTE - yellow sign with
black "addition symbol", etc.),


For this round of feedback could you please address the following points:
> 1. Do you prefer the extended navigation (bottom of the page) in "960
> width" or "full width" design?
> 2. The yellow "action" panes are based on the initial wireframes. They
> are: Download, Extend, Get Help. Are they the right "actions" for the
> front page of the site?
> 3. The new icons are based on the logo. Staying with the road
> sign/construction theme, are there images you would prefer to see for
> each of the action buttons?
> 4. Additional constructive comments?
