Redesigning postgresql.org - Mailing list pgsql-www

Hi all,

At FOSDEM we had a discussion regarding redesigning postgresql.org to make it modern and responsive. I might have had one drink too many (water that is) and I kind of volunteered to give a shot at it. The following items we discussed briefly:

[1] Color and theme of the website should remain largely the same blue(ish)

[2] JavaScript can be used but the website must work 100% should someone have JavaScript disabled. This one is particularly hard since many “nice” things in web development, like client side validation and such rely on JavaScript.

[3] The website should be responsive, and adaptive when needed (for this one we need JavaScript for sure)

[4] We discussed the possibility of a CMS functionality briefly.

[5] We discussed the usage of web-fonts and supporting Internet Explorer as of version 9

[6] We did not discuss the backend!!

In the following weeks I want to setup a local copy of the website and start gathering a better picture of what actually needs to be done and the amount of work it is involved.

Any thoughts?
