Hi Tymon, It does look clean and modern. But this is a landing page, it has to convey the message of sugar. The websites need a personality to do that. The bootstrap theme won't do that. <blockquote>I will implement Sugar colors and random Sugar logo image. Many people like this idea. Activity stream also shouldn't be something really hard to implement. I gonna work on this tomorrow.I can add also embeeded Sugarizer, what is your opinion which activity should we mainly present? </blockquote> IDK... But you don't have to put all that stuff in! It would probably get easily overloaded with content then! <blockquote> I am not sure about videos... I don't have them, recording will take some time,... Do you have any place where can I find already recorded movies? Btw your idea to put it inside XO frame is really nice and interesting... </blockquote> Maybe you could use GTK-RecordMyDesktop <blockquote> What is your exact idea about pictures? Should we place them everywhere or only in gallery? Currently we put ~2 thumbnails with link to gallery on every one page. Also - any ideas where can I find that kind of photos? </blockquote> Pictures can be used as background images for sections of the site. I will find an example. <blockquote> I don't understand your message about consistent with other web proporties, but I agree you activity-2 website is nice (I embed it in Activities section if my project). </blockquote> Right now every sugar site looks different. Maybe we could have some visual clarity. Thanks, Sam <blockquote> Looking forward your reply.

I like the idea of modernizing the website. It looks like a dodgy BTC/illegal website now IMHO, so we should really change it. However, I'm sure about replacing it with a website that is basically the default theme of jekyll. I think that you need to start with a design idea about where we should go with the site. Here are a few suggestions: * Embed sugarizer/turtlejs? That is the easiest way show people what sugar is! * Pictures? Happy pics of pople using sugar are always good for a landing page (www. is really just a big ad for sugar, all real info is on the wiki?) * Use sugar colors.

Could we have a live activity stream from ASLO + SocialHelp + Mailing List + Wiki? That would be really cool! * Video demos?
