[maemo-community] maemo.org redesign

[From: Jussi.H Makinen]

Hi,

To my eye, Andre's  first layout
(http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOME.jpg) has the best looks. Forcing
two big download banners to the front page does not seem like an
elegant solution compared to the original. The main app promotion page
for users should anyway be at maemo.nokia.com and further down the
road I can see the application manger itself handling lot's of this
"most downloaded" "fresh" etc. stuff. So, why push it here? Not sure
who does it serve...

Also the right hand side gets ugly with two big boxes, people thing
and the bulky banners. Again Andre's first mock-up serves a much more
elegant solution. And the download and people counters could be again
implemented much more nicely to the tabs.

Jussi
