I have made quite a few minor changes to the Cygwin/X website
(http://xfree86.cygwin.com/).
Changes
=======
1) Add thumbnails to the screenshots page and generally change the
entire layout.
2) Remove the CVS access page, since it only referred to the CVS access
for the XWin Server code, when we in fact have two CVS trees: XWin
Server at freedesktop.org and the documentation source at sourceforge.net.
3) Update the XWin Server Development page and add CVS info.
4) Update the Documentation Development page and add CVS info.
5) Decrease the width of the left menu bar from 20% to 15% of the page.
6) Update the FAQ with Alexander's info about Services for Unix.
7) Update the User's Guide by swapping the position of the ssh and
telnet documentation to encourage people to try ssh first.
8) Fix a handful of broken links between pages.
To-Do
=====
The content of the website is largely up-to-date now and the screenshots
page has been redesigned to accomodate more and newer screenshots. What
I want to do now is to redesign the header, leftbar, and footer, as well
as to start using a stylesheet more regularly across the site.
If anyone is interested in helping, grab a copy of the source for our
home page, update the colors, layout, etc. and send in a link to your
updated mock-up. I would appreciate mock-ups that have use of new
colors and that get rid of the alternating green and black header that
we have. I can take the mock-ups that are sent in and apply the changes
to the actual files. I am just looking for some help with the creative
process.
