RE: netbeans.org design changes

Hi Jack,

I have to say I like link #2 ;) Keeps a bit in check with the Sun color
scheme. So what are the plans exactly with the content. Are their plans
to do a major cleanup of obsolete pages, or plainly pages with wrong 
content?

Regards,
Manfred.

Subject: [webteam] netbeans.org design changes

Hello all,

As you might have read in recent newsletters, we are planning some redesign
work for the netbeans.org site.  We are mostly focussing on just a few
high-traffic pages - specifically the index page, the downloads, and
possibly (depending on time
constraints) the module catalogue.  The "tab" navigation is likely to change
its look also.

Nothing is finalised yet (by a long way!), but to give you an idea of some
of the initial designs and ideas that have come up, here are a few samples :

Please realise these are very early designs, it is not decided that we will
use any of these!  The design cycle is not over, and it is likely we will go
through several more rounds of options before settling on anything.

So, I just wanted to show you all what's happening, and ask if anyone has
any comments or feedback on any of these options.
