Hey all, I have refined the design of the new landing pages a bit, and created a couple more. See http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/TEST:main_page http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/TEST:html http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/TEST:css http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/TEST:general_concepts People seemed to quite like where this was going, so let's go forward with it, shall we? As far as I see it, I need: * Some icons from Seb (I know he's working on it, so cool) * Some actual proper design work plus adding the styles to the WP CSS (I'm guessing Lea needs to do this) * A template/form guru to create a new template for the topics layout?

People on mobile and smaller tablet screen sizes would not benefit from the topic map being "above the fold" anyway.
