[hibernate-dev] New layout for the website

[Guillaume Smet]

Hi,

Following Yoann's work and based on it, I tried to work on a new layout for
the website.

The idea was to make it more modern while not starting a full discussion
about the content. I think we could benefit from making more iterative
improvements.

I know a few things bother some people to who I already presented this
work, but this is what I would like to present as "my proposal for a new
website".

I tried to take into account the remarks I found consistent with my vision
(which unfortunately prevents you to see my first ugly try at a new home
page, blame Sanne for that :)).

I didn't change the content (except for reorganizing a few links in the
menu to put "Source code" before "Wiki" for instance). That's not the point
of this exercise.

I added a short baseline on each About page. They are just placeholders,
better propositions very welcome!
The hero text below coming from the old site can also probably be tweaked
for the new layout.

Generally I think some changes are due to the content but that's for
another day and for another discussion.

To play with it:
http://new.hibernate.org/
with
54.174.65.136 new.hibernate.org
in your /etc/hosts

The branch on GitHub is "new-layout".

I consider the conversion work completed, so if you see any issue, it's not
normal, please report it.

The only thing I have in mind for the near future is to improve the mobile
experience but I think it can be kept as a second step. It's usable as of
now, even if not perfect.
