Will there be any specific discussion about what's wrong with the
current site? You two seem to agree something needs to be done, but
haven't mentioned anything specific.

Great to know they're is some interest in it and agreement that it is

I'm very interested in the prospect of redesigning the site and would
love to chat more about it. I feel like I owe the Django community
something for all that it has given me (including the job I currently
have!). I'd love to talk scope and other factors so I have a clear
idea of what would be involved.
Is this a good forum for this type of discussion or should we get in
touch elsewhere to talk? You can get in touch with me here:

Hi Dana,
I completely agree. I've been trying to get a redesign of
djangoproject.com <http://djangoproject.com> going for quite some
time under the auspices of the Django Foundation. As you can see from
the lack of changes, you can see that I haven't been particularly
successful :-(
The fundamental problem is that we have plenty of coding talent at
our disposal, but not as much design talent. That's not to say that
there aren't many talented designers in our community -- there are --
it's just that they're all very busy. We've approached several people
in the Django design community asking them to help out, and some have
even made done some initial work. However, redesign of a high-profile
site like djangoproject.com <http://djangoproject.com> is a big job,
and nobody has been able to spare the time to bring the job to
completion.
So - at this point I'm open to any offers. I want to avoid design by
committee -- ideally, I would like to pass this off to a single
person (or a small group) and give them complete control over design
process. I'm not completely sure how to organise who gets this role
-- suggestions are welcome.
If you (or anyone else) is interested, drop me a line and I can give
you the design brief we've been working with.
Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

So now that Django is being moved to Git/Github (which is awesome!),
maybe it would be a good time to think about a revamped home page
for the project ala djangoproject.com (http://djangoproject.com)?
Obviously this is no small undertaking and would be potentially
contentions as to what would be the proper path, but I feel (and I
don't think I'm alone) that djangoproject.com
(http://djangoproject.com) could use a bit of a facelift.
I have some idea of my own as to how this could be accomplished and
I'm sure there are a ton of others out there with great ideas as
well. Maybe we could open up some discussion on this idea?
Forgive me if this has been proposed before as I'm new to the group!
Cheers,
Dana
