jacmoe: I really like what I see from your screenshots! I am really busy right now so I had no time to read all of this, but I wanted to announce that today we decided to make the new website’s code open source:
Would be great to have you as a contributor!
Thanks CeBe 
And what great news!
I will check it out.
You made the right decision, I am sure.
[color="#006400"]/* forking - cloning */[/color]
I also like the design of that.
But I think that my take has got more identity 
It was fairly painless to download, install and setup - but Latex sure is a bitch.
I am still pulling down half of the worlds packages…
What I will do now is do my theme on top of it, using Sass instead of Less and Gulp instead of Grunt, but I will not change much.
That will be stage two…
OK, so Yii Camp … sounds intriguing
Ok, so I forked and cloned and hacked a bit, and I like the overall idea of it.
However, I will see if I can combine the best of both, so I have made a branch.
Have already converted the Less to Sass and the Grunt to Gulp.
Gulp is so much faster than Grunt, btw.
And there is browsersync included in the script.
Jacmoe, I think we’ll drop an idea of YiiCamp for now since SSO is kind of blocker issue that prevents us to move forward…
Jacmoe, please don’t do giant pull requests. One thing at a time, OK?
I did create a separate branch in my fork so don’t worry.
I am not sure what’s the best way to approach this since I can’t issue 10-30 PRs a day
Tell me how I should do it.
What I have now is basically the old theme ported to Sass and now using Gulp instead of Grunt.
So I could actually merge that into my master and issue a pull request now
Because what I do from here is changing things quite a bit.
I should probably make a new fork, and chop things up - you are right.
Because there is a favicon update in the middle of it all that should have been a separate PR.
I guess you can tell that I am used to be a lone wolf developer.
Update:
Note: yes, there will be more sections on the front page - news, latest gossip, etc.
I changed the ‘framework’ to a lighter gray and made the nav-bar ‘logo’ use the same colour.
(( Edit: to see a full page screenshot, go back to the previous page ))
Tell me what you think:
"yii framework" is too close to the logo
the “framework” color (dark grey) isn’t a good choice, it should be lighter
Yes but that is all fixed already. I should probably post new screenshots of the site in progress.
If you’re interested in following the progress, then do visit the repository at Github 
Thanks for the interest!
Things are progressing, although at a slow rate:
I’d use a “sans serif” font.
"yii framework" is too close to the logo symbol
Shadows below “Facebook” etc… hello 1998
The font for the headers is a sans serif: Josefin.
I am using Arvo for the body text, but you might be right that it should be sans serif. I’ll try another from the list of Google font pairings for Josefin.
That cool 1998 shadow is just a filter and the one that looked acceptable on that blue background.
It could be toned down or taken out.
The logo has been discussed at great length here: https://github.com/y...k.com/issues/61
And I am considering it done
At least for now.
6842
Which font should it be?
I am leaning towards Open Sans right now, but my leaning changes each day
I changed it to use Open Sans for the body, while of course keeping Josefin Sans for the headers:
For the body, I’d use the usual
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
