Hello all,
Over on lyx-devel, I've been discussing doing some re-design to the look and
feel of www.lyx.org. I'd like to get some feedback so we know what people
think looks best. Here are some links to some other websites with designs
that all look nice, although there's a wide range in their design style. So
that our graphic designer can know what kind of general design style would
look good, which ones of the following look best to you guys?
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/
http://www.python.org/
http://www.scipy.org/
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
If there are other websites that you guys think are particularly well
designed, please let us know!

[Disclaimer: I have old eyes.] I like the Octave and SciPy designs;
the organization is clear and they are not too cluttered. Octave is my
first choice mainly for the color scheme (the blues are easy on the
eyes). The Ruby and GNU Emacs sites are ok, but I find the reds a bit
too bold (to the point of being distracting, although for Ruby at least
it's thematic). I can't quite pin it down, but something about the
combination of fonts and font colors on the Python page makes my eyes water.
