Hi all,

I am going put some time into improving the Village Telco website.
It could use the help. In preparation for that, I'd like to ask you all
a question:

What's your favourite Open Source project website in terms of content,
navigation, and functionality?

Rather that figure it all out from scratch, I'd rather borrow the design
from someone who has done it well. As the Spanish proverb goes, "well
stolen is half done" :-)

-Steve

Howdy,
I would pick www.python.org. It is not perfect, but it seems to work
well and I can find what I need pretty quickly. They don't use
javascript, or if they use javascript, then it works fine without it.
It is easy to read with color choices that offer lots of contrast.
Good day,
Ralph

Hi

Imagine it was not monocolour, but had a splash of two or three colours:

Fantastic navigability, nice and compact.

for small site.

Hi Steve,

Just realized that current site does not have "Printable" button
for posts. It seems a small issue, but greatly disappoints when
you want to print some lengthy post to take it read offline and
you can't print it nicely because of all that nifty sidebars. My
small addition to a good-website-wishlist.

I think we can get the wp-print plug-in installed on the site to meet your printing need.
Here is a link to it - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-print/

Michael.
