Hello together, I just wanted to let you know that I gave some love to the geany.org website today (since it was Valentines day yesterday ;) ). No big thing, don't expect a full re-design or anything. What you will see is:
* There is a new page "Reviews" in the "Geany" section, where to write about any website which provides Reviews about Geany. If you know any website, blog or online magazine which wrote about Geany, please let me know so I can add it there.
* There is a new section called "Contribute", including four new pages: Developers, Translators, Documentation and Support. Please pay attention to those and let me know if you agree or dis-agree with the things I wrote there, if you're missing something or if you found any issue to fix. Feedback is highly appreciated.
* Any text on geany.org got a small rework, in special I changed some wording issues and added links to other pages within the texts so handling for users and new visitors should be easier. I also removed any open-in-new-window-or-tab links since it should be the users decision if he wants a link to open in a new browser tab or window or anything else. Another thing I did here was to make consistent use of header levels - that means, changed some headers from h3 to h2 and so on...
* I gave some love to the css file and redesigned the headers, added some letter-spacing, increased the above and below the header and changed the color of the headers to gray. - Let me know if you like it or not
What still has to be done is updating the screenshot gallery as I promised on IRC today. If you like to make some screenshots of your Geany in action, feel free to send them to me but consider to not shoot any content which may be sensible.
Best Regards, Dominic
Hi Dominic,
Nice, I like the clean background, but then I run my monitors at medium brightness because I get a lot of white backgrounds, eg PDFs
Attached are patches against the HTML. They only change some minor English and punctuation.
The only other comment is that if someone is only doing documentation, they really only need to check out trunk/doc/geany.txt not the whole SVN.
Cheers Lex

Thanks very much for the patches. I applied them immediately. :)

I added a hint about that, you maybe want to have another look there. :)

Yes, but then they need to know how to generate the HTML to at least check the source is not malformed. You can't type 'make doc' without the full build system.

I've added an additional note about that, thanks very much for pointing this out!
