Re: Feedback wanted for coreboot website update

Hi all,

just a short comment:

I'm following the community since many years now, and I always thought
that what's awesome about Coreboot is that it allows you to build /
implement / install minimalistic firmware. That is, without gigantic
animated GUIs and all that.
Down to earth, get the job done, make the OS take over.

I tend to think that the website should reflect that as well: slim and
efficient.
So I think the current design is already better than the huge video of
the mainboard equpping machine the site featured a while back.

But I totally acknowledge that I might be out of touch here. Modern
(private and corporate) users might very well expect something looking
as impressive as they're used to from other places.

P.
