The current libvirt website design dates from 2008 and has not changed significantly since. Compared to contemporary open source project websites it looks pretty dated and cluttered.
This series incrementally changes the website to have a completely new layout and branding.
Since the original adobe illustrator files are long since lost, this series introduces a newly created variant of the libvirt logo with Inkscape as an SVG file.
The libvirt logo used a specific font with angled tops to letters like "l", "b" and "t" - this is the "Overpass" font, made available by Red Hat under an open source font license. The re-branding makes use of webfont support so that we can use this font across the entire libvirt website for a consistent look.
The colors of the website CSS now exactly match the colors used in the logo in most places.
The bigger change is in the layout, with the huge left hand sitemap nav bar being removed to give more space to the main content. The front page now directly links to the key pages that were shown to be highly visited in the apache web logs. Most of the rest of the links are now available from the "docs.html" page linked from "Learn" in the top nav bar.
Another key change is that the download page now covers all language bindings, test suites, docs released by the project, not merely the core C library.
Finally a new page "contribute.html" is added as the source of information useful to people wishing to get involved in the libvirt project.

ACK from me, though you might want for outhers to check how it looks for them (e.g. Peter).
ACK from me too. I like the new design, nice job! I have one followup question, are you planning to change the design of our wiki as well? Pavel
