Hello Inkscape devs,
I just noticed today that the new website is up - congrats! I especially love the gallery with all the user artwork. :-)
I wanted to help out with the front-end a few months back but got bogged down with my studies, but now I have more free time on my hands. I was thinking maybe I could tweak the visual aspects to work better together (font sizes, spacing, etc), and maybe make the site responsive (adapted for smartphones and tablets)?
There were also a few pages that were designed but not implemented - if I did the html/css would someone be able to develop them into the website?
Also, good idea leaving out the flags in the language switcher (I had them in there before learning about website i18n and l10n, thinking they'd help to quickly find a language).
Thanks for being awesome! Hine

Your help would be great. I'm here developing things and other python developers might step in to add various features.
I'd like for more people to try out the local instructions here:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Local_Development
With a running local copy, it's a million times easier to modify files, see the effect they have and commit the modifications for a developer like myself to work with.

The flags are already gone already ;-).
Martin,
Hi,
Just to let you know that instructions to locally install website on Linux Mint / Ubuntu 13.10 are very clear and work well. Just a small thing you could add : sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev.
You did a great work to allow contributors and web devs easly run the website locally. Congrats !
Best,

That's good to hear, but I thought I removed the mysql requirement for local users. MySQL is only required for live you see...
Can you tell me where a problem was encountered?
Martin,
The new design is definitely an improvement, but can we please get the screenshots back? There's just a single non-clickable tiny screenshot now, instead of a versioned list on the old site which kind of provided a museum of Inkscape development.
No problem so far. I agree that you could drop mysql requirement for local installation. Let me know and I'll try a new fresh installation if things work out of the box.

No, I mean it should already. I wanted to ask where you had seen the error or warning that encouraged you to install mysql client libs. Because I can't find the reference int he current trunk. :-/

Ok. I can't remember right now... I'll have a look soon and I let you know.

I'd support the development of a screenshots app. Or would you prefer the shots to come from an rss feed?
Martin,
I have no preference as to the implementation, just would like to see the old (and new!) screenshots on the site in some form :)

Martin,
New will be coming soon since we're working towards release. :)
As for implementation, I guess that as long as we can have it similar to the old site where we have pages of screenshots for each release, would be a good way to implement it. I don't care about the technical side, whether it's handled by tags, date, or whatever... but just so users can kind of "walk the halls of the museum" and see what each new incarnation brought to the table and see how inkscape has evolved over time would be wonderful.
Cheers, Josh
