[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] New try on a better sugarlabs site

[Anindya Chakravarti]

Hello everyone,
I am the volunteer who wanted to work towards the improvement of the
website. I was wondering if we can discuss the UI for the website and
hopefully get some new and improved content to put up on the website.
My proposal
<https://github.com/anindya/www-sugarlabs/tree/website-revamping>. Hosted
here <http://anindya.github.io/www-sugarlabs>.
