I can remake the Mint website

[savethemage]

Hello,

I started with Ubuntu when switching to linux simply because the website was so much better. But I dumped Ubuntu and came to Mint after trying it anyway. I thought about this a lot.

I am a web designer and developer. I can revamp the website in a matter of days. And if there are any others who want to contribute, that would be great. I would suggest that we work for free, but encourage donations to help Mint and its developers.

The website footer saying 2006 is all I need to point out really (and forums 2007). I can do everything on a test server and move over once whomever makes the decision to change it.

Any projects like this going on right now?

I can't find it right now, but another web designer had started something similar. There is a topic somewhere...

But you should contact Clem about this (Linux Mint founder and project lead). You can contact him best on IRC. Just open Hexchat/XChat from your menu (or Konversation/Quassel if you are on KDE). Then join the the developer channel #linuxmint-dev and find clem there.

Who is this masked man?

It was this topic.

But the guy did not join the forum since mid-february. Obviously he is not going to do anything. So if you have an idea, speak with Clem on IRC (#linuxmint-dev) and show us the results

Obviously guys offering to work on the design of the website never come back... Who will be the next one?

The website is not restricted to the forums.

Its design is old. New design are more exciting... This kind of design are quite common and interesting at the moment: http://oneplus.net/one

That means a new mouse every 6 months or so just because the scroll wheel violently wear

A modern website would accommodate access via smart phones as well as large monitors. So, an upgrade is appropriate for that reason alone.

Oh, I thought there were other things on the linuxmint.com site. As a matter of fact, you could access the Mint 17 User Guide,
http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation/ ... h_17.0.pdf from a smart phone while installing Mint to a desktop.
It would add another option.

The PDF file works on my smartphone.
