I like it because you can start with one color, then see all the colors that go with that color in the various relationships (mono, triad, complement, etc). That's what I used to get all the colors done for the example Asciidoctor stylesheets. There are other tools, but I keep going back to this one. You almost don't have to know what you are doing :)<br>

Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
Yeah, couldn't agree more. These examples are really eye-catching. <br>
Also unsurprisingly they are Bootstrap-based websites too :)<br>
<br>
However I think we need to find a perfect color combo for the Forge
website (something "catchy" like the purple and green in
Arquillian). <br>
Any design expert volunteer to aid on this job ? <br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>

<div>1. The content font size should go up at least one
more pixel. The smaller it is, the easier it is to
skim or skip.<br>
</div>
<div>2. The black text color should be no lighter than
#444444 (it's currently #656565). Anything less than
#444444 is just being mean to readers.<br>
</div>
<div>3. I'd like to see some other colors than blue and
gray. It looks too monotonous as is. (One of the best
parts of Arquillian.org is the purple and green! Don't
fear color!!)<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The <a href="http://jboss.org/" target="_blank">jboss.org</a> Team
are proud to announce the release of the
JBoss Community Bootstrap theme aimed at
projects wishing to host project pages
using the <a href="http://jboss.org/" target="_blank">jboss.org</a> domain
name (e.g. <a href="http://jboss.org/" target="_blank">jboss.org/</a><project>
or <project>.<a href="http://jboss.org/" target="_blank">jboss.org</a>):</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://github.com/jbossorg/bootstrap-community" target="_blank">https://github.com/jbossorg/bootstrap-community/tree/2.3.1.0</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The theme is structured as an Awestruct
project in order to act as a starting
point for development of project pages,
principally through the use of HAML
layouts which have been confirmed to work
well with the modified Bootstrap CSS and
JavaScript. Although the CSS (LESS) and
JavaScript source code are stored in the
repo the intention is for projects to
reference the compiled/hosted versions at:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://static.jboss.org/theme/css/bootstrap-community/2.3.1.0/" target="_blank">http://static.jboss.org/theme/css/bootstrap-community/2.3.1.0/</a> -
the first part of the version number
represents the version of Bootstrap being
customised (here it is Bootstrap 2.3.1)</div>
<div><a href="http://static.jboss.org/theme/js/libs/bootstrap-community/2.3.1.0/" target="_blank">http://static.jboss.org/theme/js/libs/bootstrap-community/2.3.1.0/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This ensures that the L&F for all
projects using the <a href="http://jboss.org/" target="_blank">jboss.org</a> domain
has some form of consistency, rather than
each project having their own
modifications and looking slightly
different. Ideally all projects will
update to subsequent releases of the JBoss
Community Bootstrap theme at the same time
but we recognise there may be some delay
which could introduce some
inconsistencies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Full instructions for use can be found
in the <a href="https://github.com/jbossorg/bootstrap-community/blob/2.3.1.0/README.md" target="_blank">README.md</a> file
including System Requirements and steps to
fork the repo contents into your own
GitHub organization in order to start your
project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can find an example project site
using the latest version of the JBoss
Community Bootstrap theme here:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://example.jboss.org/" target="_blank">http://example.jboss.org</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you'd like to report issues with the
theme please use the '<a href="http://www.jboss.org/" target="_blank">www.jboss.org</a> (Awestruct)'
component of the <a href="http://issues.jboss.org/browse/ORG" target="_blank">http://issues.jboss.org/browse/ORG</a> project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Staging and Trademarked Images</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------</div>
<div>In addition to the
www_htdocs/<project> directories on <a href="http://filemgmt.jboss.org/" target="_blank">filemgmt.jboss.org</a> that
contain the production versions of your
project websites you can now upload files
to a stg_htdocs/<project> directory
in order to test them first on a staging
domain name, e.g. <project>-<a href="http://stg.jboss.org/" target="_blank">stg.jboss.org</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Similarly you can now upload any Red
Hat trademarked images such as project
logos, banners and desktops to an
images_htdocs/<project> directory
which makes them accessible from <a href="http://static.jboss.org/images/%3Cproject%3E" target="_blank">http://static.jboss.org/images/<project></a> as
per legal requirements. These can then be
referenced in your project pages.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This release was a combined effort
from the <a href="http://jboss.org/" target="_blank">jboss.org</a> team
and Eng Ops with additional thanks going
to Xavier Coulon, Jason Porter and Pete
Muir for reporting issues and suggesting
fixes.</div>
