The jython users list has received a proposal for a new logo. > http://www.jesseross.com/clients/jython/index.html. This is a small part of a bigger discussion I'd like to have, which is: We really need a refresh of the entire jython website. Most of it is pretty outdated, and it adds to the impression that Jython is a project adrift. As far as the logo in question, I like it -- though I wonder if there are othe= r candidates out there -- if there are we should probably have some kind of a vote. If this is the only candidate that is going to come forward, I think it would make a very nice icon for the project. What do others think? -Frank |

I like it. What you really need is an animated version of the picture, one showing the jython snake/steam gradually coming out of the cup... or writhing in air. (maybe 2 different animations). That'd make for a nifty thing to look at on the web site. Or it might be really annoying. :D leouser --- Frank Wierzbicki <fwi...@gm...> wrote: > The jython users list has received a proposal for a > new logo. > > > > http://www.jesseross.com/clients/jython/index.html. > > This is a small part of a bigger discussion I'd like > to have, which is: We > really need a refresh of the entire jython website. > Most of it is pretty > outdated, and it adds to the impression that Jython > is a project adrift.

What do others think? A suggestion: flip the snake part around and it'll look a lot like a "J". Then you could remove the "J" and move the "ython" up so that it's just to the right of the "J-snake". Or just remove the "ython" altogether in some contexts, as Clark suggested. :-D oug L. |

Website could really do with a complete over-haul. The additions I was making a while back where all within the current setup and consisted essentially of date-oriented news items. I stopped doing that once the WIKI got off the ground because it made a lot more sense for the communtity to have shared control rather than relying on any one web-master-type to do updates. How to proceed? I'm happy to help out. Sean |

Hi Sean: +1 on the logo. It looks great - and I love the playfulness of the design. About the site, take a look at http://www.xquerynow.com. This is a site I built for Raining Data based on Zope and Plone. I would be happy to host the Jython community from this site. This would give us a real content management system with newsletters, wiki, email lists, discussion boards, etc. -Frank On Oct 4, 2005, at 4:11 AM, Sean McGrath wrote: > Frank Wierzbicki wrote: > > > >> The jython users list has received a proposal for a new logo. >> >> >> >>> http://www.jesseross.com/clients/jython/index.html >>> >>> >> <http://www.jesseross.com/clients/jython/index.html>. >> >> This is a small part of a bigger discussion I'd like to have, >> which is: We really need a refresh of the entire jython website. >> Most of it is pretty outdated, and it adds to the impression that >> Jython is a project adrift.

Hi Frank, >> I would be happy to host the Jython community from this site. That is a very nice offer, but Bill de h=D3ra is working to get all of our web/wiki infrastructure moved to python.org <http://python.org> which (IMHO= ) is really the right way to go. -Frank |

Apologies I've been out of the loop a bit. Bill did mention to me that he was looking into this. Great! Sean |

The migration to python.org is mainly mechanical and has nothing to do with look and feel, or content (I'll get round organizing that once I clear some decks in work and with the Atom protocol). cheers Bill |

If this is advanced, then the mockup is best hosted on the new site I'd suggest. If it is some time away, I can dust off the instructions that Samuele sent me to get the mock-up uploaded so that folks can see it. The website is built at present using an ant-based build process in which chunks of content are topped and tailed by the build process to produce full HTML pages. Sean |

Thanks -- I've made my initial changes using the ant script and ht2html.pyas you've described. In fact, I've got a few updates for the ant script that I'll check in soon. The mock-up is at an early stage -- when I get it just slightly better I'll be ready to put it wherever we want -- I'll have something to show by sometime this weekend. -Frank |

Hi Frank: Python.org makes more sense to me. I'd like to help author =20 the content. Is anyone working on the Jython.org home page? -Frank On Oct 5, 2005, at 5:16 PM, Frank Wierzbicki wrote: > Hi Frank, > > >> I would be happy to host the Jython community from this site. > That is a very nice offer, but Bill de h=D3ra is working to get all =20= > of our web/wiki infrastructure moved to python.org which (IMHO) is =20 > really the right way to go. > > -Frank |

Ah, but the cup is the best part... without it, its just a python :) On 10/6/05, Bill de h=D3ra <bi...@de...> wrote: > > Bill de h=D3ra wrote: > > Frank Wierzbicki wrote: > > > > > >>What do others think? > > > > > > I like the logo, but would like the snake shortened so it takes up less > > vertical space. > > Actually, if you remove the cup and play around with the colors... > > cheers > Bill > > > |

The snake at the cup are the real message behind Jython. It doesn't =20 work for me without both elements. -Frank On Oct 6, 2005, at 12:10 PM, Bill de h=D3ra wrote: > Bill de h=D3ra wrote: > >> Frank Wierzbicki wrote: >> >> >> >>> What do others think? >>> >> >> >> I like the logo, but would like the snake shortened so it takes up =20= >> less >> vertical space. >> > > Actually, if you remove the cup and play around with the colors... > > cheers > Bill > > <jython_logo_Background.png> > |

Of course that would probably take some ht2html.py muckery. -Frank |
