There have a few threads in the last couple months that have briefly touched on the subject of redesigning the OSNN site. But I felt there should be a dedicated thread on the subject. I realize I am not a influential member by any means, but it only takes one person to start something & get the ball rolling.
I think in the light of Vista coming out in the coming months and this being an Operating System website I think a design in that style would be appropriate and fresh. I think it would not only breathe fresh air into the site but might encourage more users to visit the forums and so forth. Maybe if we also added more guides and other useful information that visitors could use as well as promoting and updating these features. Perhaps software reviews, and stuff along those lines?
We have a lot of talented coders and graphic designers on this site, and I don't think we would would have one ounce of trouble doing this, that is of course if we have the permission from the appropriate people. :nervous:
Let me know what you think, and any ideas or suggestions on designs, content stuff like that. Hopefully this will take off, and we can make it a community project. We can give back to the site that we have enjoyed all these years.
