Dear diary, on Wed, May 03, 2006 at 05:30:26PM CEST, I got a letter
where Linus Torvalds <torvalds at osdl.org> said that...

Yes, I've already learned earlier that this made quite a bad impression
on many people and had the homepage revamp on top of my TODO list for
the last few weeks.

Well, here we go, I've just uploaded a new version of the Git homepage;
I wonder how you feel about it now.

Obviously, it still feels rather empty and I'm certainly not much of
a webmaster myself, but I take patches and pull requests; see
http://git.or.cz/community.html for the Git homepage git repository
information.

I've borrowed Jonas Fonseca's ELinks homepage design first, but the
contents ended up almost entirely rewritten as well (except the Related
Tools section, which stayed mostly as it was). Git now poses as a real
version control system and the plumbing stuff is mentioned only in the
bottom paragraphs. ;-)


BTW, if anyone is into CSS and stuff, after half an hour of beating it
I couldn't manage to make the top bar look right - everything is shifted
slightly to the top. :/

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
