While I really like the new sphinx based toolchain, there has been some discussion on redesigning the turbogears.org website for a few months.

Up to now I didn't invest much time in making a try, mostly because I'm not usually great at website design and because I needed to learn how sphinx themes work.

Tonight I decided to give a try as I found frustrating the fact the turbogears.org didn't work well on my tablet portrait orientation and that the current website is really hard to read (at least on my pc) due to font style.

This is the result of my work: http://imagebin.org/261191

Any feedback is welcome, I plan to add a "Download" box in the upper right corner of the header where there is a lot of empty space and make some minor improvements, but the overall look is there.

Added responsive breakpoints to make it also visible on mobile devices, if everyone is fine with it I would deploy this evening

Bests,
Alessandro

Nice. I also liked the gears in the background of the old version, but
the new version looks cleaner and more modern without them. Everyone
likes flat and simple design these days.

I like them too, but I did the background using a linear gradient in CSS and I didn't have a version of the gears with transparent background (the header itself its a big image http://turbogears.org/_static/images/header_bg.jpg) so I have been unable to replicate it in the fluid redesign :/

But I'm a bit puzzled about the fact that you announce 2.3.0b as the current version!
IMHO, only stable releases should be prominently featured up there!
