* How important is adhering to a "standard" look?
* Which theme is overall more visually appealing?
* Which theme gives a more professional feel?
Please note that questions 1 and 2 may have different answers. Keep in
mind when evaluating these themes, especially the first, that it is
*not* in finalized form, just an basic idea of what could be. A third
option that I have not pursued yet due to time constraints would be to
leave the layout as-is currently but replace it with the Haskell color
scheme. Yet another option would be to take the second theme mentioned
above and try to force the Haskell color theme on it; I don't find
that a good idea. Options 5 and 6 are leaving the site as it is (both
layout and design), or proposing a totally different layout.

I like the colour theme of the former and the layout of the latter.
The colour theme of the first is more professional, I think. I vote
that styles should be consistent. When Haskell.org's theme finally
gets updated, Haskell will feel a lot more modern on the web, and
making that feeling go with you across the Haskell sites is important
to me. I would've provided a design myself, expanding upon this,[1] I
suppose, but time constraints are against me. I think layout of the
latter is very good, very obvious. Colours are just a bit fruit salad.

Precisely what I was going to say.

+1.
I'd vote for the second layout (though the map looks glitched up) but
changing the red/dayglow/teal/orange scheme to match the first color
scheme better. The orange and teal of #2 are fairly close to the orange
and navy of #1, so it shouldn't alter things too badly. Though because
of the dark background, we may want #2' to have slightly lighter colors
than #1. It's the dayglow and red which strike me as out of place.
