This title page is just ugly and a horrible "welcome" to anybody who approaches the Eiffel community. We need some improvements. I suggest that we temporarily develop a [[New Main Page]] and move it to [[Main Page]] later. --[[User:Schoelle|Schoelle]] 23:52, 15 November 2006 (CET)
 
 
I'm ok with the current page, but I'll welcome any new page. Feel free to contribute the first draft of New Main Page and then I can better see what you would prefer and then we will ask the community at large. I think what is missing there is a nice picture. Thanks for bringing this up.--[[User:Manus|manus]] 08:01, 16 November 2006 (CET)

Just that it doesn't get forgotten and since someone of the admins has to change navigation I post this here again (From Talk:New Main Page):

Also a new page logo (at least withouth the white border) and a new navigation would look better. I would split the navigation to a 'normal navigation' part and a 'developers' part (see below).

Navigation proposal:

  • Navigation
    • Home (not sure if this is needed because the logo alredy points to the main page)
    • Categories
    • Downloads
    • Version history
    • FAQ
    • Mailing lists
    • Eiffel links
  • Developement
    • Recent changes
    • Changelog of 6.x
    • SVN repository
    • Compiling
    • How to contribute
