Description: This is a Mockup for the KDE Website. In my eyes all KDE related websites (e.g. Kde-apps.*, kde-look.*, *.kde.org) should be completed in one page. This would make many things much more easy, for example people only need to visit one page and get all the information they need.
It's a still-in-progress Art and i want to receive your Feedback to improve it or let it fall down if you are not interested.
I have used Icons from the Oxygen Icon theme as well as icons from everaldo!
I think it will give KDE more of an identity and people will have the idea of going to a single website and getting what they need there instead of the scattered approach currently.
As for the problem of there being so many apps/themes etc. I don think it will be a problem as long as you keep categories and seperate official kde things with user generated content.
Idea is nice, but (there is always a "but") there are so many KDE apps/styles/stuff so that kind page would never be good.
Example, take kde-apps and kde-look sites and compare their amount of "stuff" and think how you would put everything to one place to find them easily?
kde.org can have everything for their official applications like kopete, kwrite, kate, konqueror etc, but it "cant" hold all KDE stuff.
I think we should first focus to these kde-*.org sites to rip off all data what dont these. Like art work what cant be under GPL, would need to be removed or relicensed back to original author and Qt apps off from kde-apps.org site and move them to qt-apps.org.
I'am absolutely your opinion that there are a lot of apps which makes it very difficult to organise them. I'm currently thinking about this "problem".
Ideas and Inspirations would be awesome.
Also design for plasma, solid, pfonon site, and kdedot/kdeplanet .... should be avesome.
Please send me basic widgets of your work in SVG or pngs, and ai will try to make it reality
Great idea, and a fantastic design, though I doubt they'll go for it - they just changed the KDE.org design like a year ago, I doubt they'll wanna put in the effort to do it again so soon. Though ig you volunteer to, maybe they'll go for it.

Wow... that mockup looks absolutely stunning.. it would be a pleasure to visit kde.org then ^^
I really like it, I also think that kde.org's usability can be improved.

Have a look at the great work that OpenSuSE has done with their website: http://www.opensuse.org/ It would work great for KDE as well.
Good idea!
