This project is going to be fairly big in size therefore I think a bit of structure and planning is needed especially with the amount of ideas flying around at the moment.
The classic mistake of web design/development has also happened here and the style of the website has been designed first with the content to follow later. Having a fair amount of experience in the design and building of sites myself this is undoubtedly going to lead to inefficiency during the build and due to the high volume of input here and the fluid nature of it, I can see the final result delivering a very confused message in terms of design and the general mechanics of the site. I am by no way criticising the ideas so far, they have been great! I am merely suggesting that if we first define a clear purpose of what the site needs to achieve then they styling will come together later and look a lot better. Some measurable objectives are desperately needed too in order to convert all the energy from everyone into constructing a fantastic site :o) Anyone agree? Ade P.s I think design #1 is the best so far. It's the most coherent design for me but I still think we could improve! Ubuntu-uk is all about the community, innovation and teamwork to overcome problems - surely whatever design is decided need to scream this.
