Re: php.net redesign

Hi Wojak, These things are often a matter of taste. Your design is nice and there are things I like about it. Between the two, I think that the header of prototype.php.net is more 'modern'. Personally, I find your design too gradient heavy. I have been working on a updated mock-up for the home page and I hope to send it around soon. The last attempt to design the home page stalled at the 'we need icons' phase. I now have some icons. If people like them we could move forward again, but, we need help. I would hope that you could work with the current beta design as it is further along than yours and was generally well liked. In particular, I think it would be great if you could incorporate some of your design ideas into the manual pages.
