Bitcoin.org Redesign (mockups inside)

[da2ce7]

bitcoin.org should be a simple site that says:

Welcome to the bitcoin!  This site is the community home of the development of bitcoin and related projects

If you are new to bitcoin, please visit our sister site www.weusecoins.com

More detailed infomration and help can be found on our wiki:  bitcoin.it

We have a community forum at bitcoin.org/smf  and a IRC channel #bitcoin-dev on irc.freenet.net

To download the latest version of Bitcoin please visit out Sorceforge Page

This is better than redirecting straight to the wiki. Wanna make a pretty static html for this, anyone? Or find some free template.

Sure.

Might take a few hours to paint the pictures.

EDIT: Give me Saturday. Since this isn't a full site, I don't want donations either.

EDIT2: Just so you know I'm working on this and haven't forgotten... Still early stages. But you can see the futuristic abstract direction we're going with:

We gone 4 days without anything going on. Don't want this project to die just yet.

I made a proposal for the new page: http://www.bitcoin.org/newsite/. Feel free to comment or edit.

- use horizontal space, make two columns for that. Remember, scrolling bar is your enemy!
- put the weusecoins.com video somewhere near the top

This better: http://www.bitcoin.org/newsite2/ ?

[HostFat]

I like it

[caveden]

Number 2 is better.

[kiba]

Let use that bitcoin logo with the binary on it!

I feel like the Twitter feed belongs on the right side.

[sirius]

I made it the front page. Now at least the front page is slashdot-proof

I'll still be fine-tuning the CSS. In the spirit of open source, everyone is welcome to improve the index.html in any way and I'll set it up if it's better. Add to github or wiki?

I would like to see the current version number of the program on the homepage. Otherwise it looks good.

http://beta.garyshood.com/ is my version

http://beta.garyshood.com/ is my version

Thanks for contributing. It's browser-compatible, looks somewhat cleaner, doesn't need scrolling and supports translations. No video, but weusecoins.com is linked anyway. The intro text could be shorter. What do you guys think?

[caveden]

I think the weusecoins video should be available in the front page, just like it's now.

another idea (not finished/WIP): http://bitcoincharts.com/~tcatm/bitcoin.org/

Excellent layout here, I really like this one.

[M4v3R]

I really like tcatm's version. One thing that I would change is shortening the intro text and placing another link to the video at its end, like this:

[N12]

I’m all for tcatm. We should make it "The total eventual circulation will be 21 million bitcoins, currently divisible to 0.00000001." though.
