Summary: We've finally simplified and improved the site's front page (a belated and much-needed task)

FOR THOSE who are not familiar with Techrights history, in 2006 the site was a blog, just like many other sites. The Wiki was added years later (to help organise past stories and general information), becoming its front page as well for a number of years. A Drupal front end was added in 2013 to better serve new visitors who aren't familiar with the site and might be better off reading something other than the latest stories.

Over the past few months we've added daily bulletins, IPFS and nowadays more videos as well. So we've finally decided to debate a redesign of the front page (more details to be found in today's IRC logs). Based on the above mock-up we've put together the new front page (techrights.org), which contains no external files, not even images (let alone scripts and CSS). We hope it helps focus on what's new and what's important without unessential clutter. All the old pages are still intact, they're just not directly visible from the new front page. ⬆
