Thread: website design
I'm looking for a new design for the main website. The basic requirements are: 1) No Frames 2) Elephant stays 3) Must be easy to maintain, add to, remove from, move things around ... 4) Easy to navigate You don't have to integrate it. The winning entry will have either a text link at the bottom of each page or just credit - whichever you prefer. If you want to participate, set up a demo page(s) and email me a link to the page(s) at webmaster@postgresql.org. Try to get your submissions in before July 15th.

Just a suggestion, but is the page allowed to be database driven, ie: something like a blog [us pre existing code like slashcode or postnuke or something] or does it have to be static to support the mirroring that is currently in place. just curious. thakns. > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org > [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Vince Vielhaber > Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 6:26 PM > To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org > Subject: [GENERAL] website design > > > > I'm looking for a new design for the main website.

Content can be read from files since we're using php, but that would be part of the implementation.

> 2) Elephant stays You wouldn't happen to have a higher resolution copy, a layered version (ala Photoshop), etc.? Playing around with the spiced and anti-aliased one doesn't look so great.

They're only on the main machine now, but should be everywhere in the next 24 hours. It'll be on the US mirror within 6 hours.

Eekk.. good point. back to the drawing board.. Could we get a list of folks that would be willing to run a replicated server, make them into a "server pool" and get the mirrors to connect to them.. I'm not sure if that would be a great solution, cause i'm not sure if most of the traffic is because of images, static code, or whatever would be coming from the database... I guess at the very least it's still good for discussion. > -----Original Message----- > From: Marc G.

It would also be a great test case and learning experience of distributed databases and replication. I would be very interested in further discussion along these lines. I don't know about the existing site but perhaps we could split the mirrors on DB mirrors and www mirrors. The list visible to users will only list www mirrors. We could have two DNS entries. One fixed to the main DB site and another to a round robbin list of DB mirrors. The web site programs could try to connect to the round robbin DBs first and if that fails then go to the main site. We could even have configuration files so mirror sites could perhaps specify a preferred DB mirror and then the site would try the preferred first, then the round robbin and then the primary site.

Hello,
Command Prompt would be willing to assist at multiple levels with this.

What we've had so far was alot of folks misunderstanding my original request. I'm currently not as worried about making the site dynamic as I am coming up with a new design. The design isn't for the mirror page, that's something we've already had in the works. Part of that is what Devrim posted a link to. That's not what I'm looking for in this quest. This is for the main site. Users lounge (if that name even stays), interfaces, docs, news, download, etc. It's the stuff that everyone mirrors.
