What I think importd need is a one page website to show it off, some simple examples, credits, a link to github and another to the docs (and maybe one day to a twitter account and a mailing list?). Lets open another ticket to discuss it? I can cook something over the weekend and if you like it we publish it on monday :)

I would just take a jekyll theme and be done with it. Do it as a github pages in the same repo as the code.
http://getpoole.com/
http://themes.jekyllbootstrap.com/
https://mademistakes.com/work/jekyll-themes/
http://jekyllthemes.org/

But if you have time to port something to run on django (and money/time to have a machine running it) then there are many more easy to use themes:

http://startbootstrap.com/template-categories/one-page/
http://www.bootstrapstage.com/free-themes/one-page-free/

djangothis is replacement for jekyll. My blog uses djangothis, it used to be a jekyll blog, and there was very little changes required. Its also hosted on github pages.

But I will let you use jekyll for now, will do the porting later.

Looking forward to what you (@santagada) come up with! :-)

importd.org configured to use github pages.

[santagada]

configured how? Do I have write permission to the repo?

[amitu]

I thought we would do it via pull requests :-)

Anyways, added you as a collaborator.

[santagada]

you are right, it is better that I send you a pull request.

[amitu]

Hey @santagada, eagerly waiting :-)

[santagada]

Didn't have time to work on it at all... but tonight is theoretically free :)

[amitu]

hehe :-)

No problems at all, take your time.

What I think would be nice is a single page showing some snippets and explaining the idea behind importd. So I looked at themes that would fit in being single page and mostly text, and there isn't many really... I choose this two, tell me what you think:

SinglePaged looks nice: http://t413.com/SinglePaged/
Hyde is also ok: http://hyde.getpoole.com/

(sorry about last week, I was sick).

[amitu]

Don't worry about it. I like both. Just one thing, I was thinking of creating a blog too, where I/we would post updates, like tutorial on how to use blueprint feature recently added, or how to run importd project on Google App Engine etc.

Both themes look nice. Hyde is more "blog" like I suppose.

Maybe we can use some of this information on our website, and if we can contact the author he might be interested in helping importd.
