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).
Two things I noticed that I can't really find what patch caused it, so
I'll not them here. The table in hvsupport.pl looks weird because it is
so wide. It would be OK if it were centered.
the stuff in <pre> has line-height of 150% if it is in a <dl/> tag,
which makes some pages with different <pre/> tags inconsistent. Adding
simple:
pre { line-height: 100%; }
ought to do, I guess.
