Here's what I did on the old kernel.org:<p>1. I typed in www.kernel.org<p>2. I looked for the new kernel on the page that loaded.<p>3. I clicked on the link and my download started.<p>On the new kernel.org:<p>1. I type in www.kernel.org<p>2. I look for the new kernel on the page that loads.<p>3. I click on the link and my download starts.<p>Conclusion: Good job. You made the site look more modern without disrupting the most common workflow.<p>The only 2 suggestions I have are<p>1. The entire container for "Latest Stable Kernel" should be the hit point; yes, all of it, including those words.<p>2. When I hover over the tabular download links, my eye can get confused on which row I'm on. Something purely css and really subtle would alleviate that; for instance:<p>* changing the row background color<p>* changing the color of the font for the row<p>* prepending a UL style dot to the LHS of the row<p>* making the bordertop and borderbottom more distinct<p>* underlying or italicizing the words<p>* etc...<p>any of these things would help and I'm totally agnostic to what is done; it would be a quick fix that would really make the thing less prone to human error.
As a member of the Pelican dev team, I think I speak for all of us when I saw we were thrilled to see such a high-profile site running on Pelican. The folks at kernel.org were even kind enough to mention it on their new site: <a href="https://www.kernel.org/pelican.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.kernel.org/pelican.html</a><p>Those of us in the #pelican IRC channel had a rousing cheer and virtual clinking of the glasses. :^)<p>If anyone has questions about Pelican, please feel free to ask here or on our IRC channel.<p><i>Edit:</i> And if you're going to PyCon in Santa Clara, CA this month, hit us up on Twitter (@getpelican) to get info about our pre-PyCon meetup.
I knew I saw this design somewhere else: <a href="http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/04/designing-a-html-5-layout-from-scratch/" rel="nofollow">http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/04/designing-a-ht...</a><p>Granted, it's not "complicated" but it's also the same colors...<p><i>Edit:</i> Smashing Mag is mentioned on Pelican blog: <a href="http://blog.getpelican.com" rel="nofollow">http://blog.getpelican.com</a>
I appreciate the move from gitweb to cgit; I've encouraged countless others to make the same transition, and now have a good reference to point at when I do so.
Nice font, kernel.org<p><a href="http://i.snag.gy/05FuX.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.snag.gy/05FuX.jpg</a><p>I always love websites with custom fonts that don't render correctly. When I see a website with great typography, most of the time it turns out to be Georgia or Arial, or sometimes even Timew New Roman (which his a good font, but simply overused). I've yet to see a custom font that reads better than correctly applied default fonts.
I started using pelican recently and I really enjoy static site generation. It's amazing how little needs to actually execute server side (blog content in a database?) It's also much easier to focus on writing when I don't have shiny objects distracting me.
Finally a change... but.. the font looks weird, looking at the CSS:<p><a href="https://www.kernel.org/theme/css/main.css" rel="nofollow">https://www.kernel.org/theme/css/main.css</a><p>that style was made on 2009!!!<p>Please somebody fix that fonts
