Please take a look at this:
Please ignore the above. Sorry. On second thoughts, if we are going to copy, we might as well copy FSF-Europe's design. That's *worth* copying!
Am presently going through their mailing list archives:
http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/web/
They switched to their present elegant XHTML-XSLT solution in April-May 2001, so if you are interested in emulating them and learning how they did it, start reading from there.
I am so enamoured of FSF-E's web site that I feel that not only FSF-India but all organisation under the FSF umbrella should adopt it. I hope that besides us even fsf/gnu.org will do away with their boring drab design and adopt FSF-Europe's design instead.
Wouldn't it be nice if all FSF sister organisations adopted the same elegant design of FSF-Europe instead of every one going their own way? The individual national organisations would then just need to distinguish themselves by their distinct logos.
I hope others will join me in studying from their mailing list archives and then we can start exchanging notes in a couple of days.
I opt for this strong-foundation-for-the-website approach. If someone feels that a lot of time has gone by without anything being achieved and wants to put up something immediately using static templates etc., please go ahead.
