What are the technical challenges you have in mind? I have lots of experience doing front-end development for responsive design, but I'm a bit clueless about back-end stuff...
Basically the shield work linked by Maren gives us some bounds on what data will be available to contruct the carosel. That work required the css to be reforged so it didn't fall apart when it had different numbers and sizes of items.
The menus also need to be aware of how dynamic the content can be. We have a CMS which means all pages can have languages (with large names) as well as many, many items in any of the layers. Currently the css struggles to contain all variations.
I think you've done a great job at keeping things consistent - if you want I can go through and make adjustments to tidy things up, or if you want certain pages laid out differently we can make a list.
Thanks, so these new pages are the user-account page, resource views (galleries), alert pages (me), moderation pages (maren), and we don't even have front pages for the project/funding work yet.
the main things I think would be nice to redesign would be the header, footer, and the home page
The header and footer would be a great first step I think. Keep in mind the language selector, the user/login dropdown and the alerts/messages icon. The search I think is on your radar.
(even the banners in the carousel are hard coded).
Not any more ;-) (see shield)
The developers home page could be redesigned too (currently just a page of text) - maybe just made pretty, or maybe a kind of dashboard with open issues, news, etc.
That would certainly be nice to have. a developers set of pages. Something that can be done with branding and everything to make it clear what kind of page this is. this is where the power of django-cms really is, being able to set up multiple menu systems etc.
