Kongoni Design

Kongoni Design by hannesc
Well, finally I got around to completing the design for the site. For those of you interested in the progress of the project:

[i]Submitted by silentcoder on Mon, 01/26/2009 - 11:16[/i]
As of yesterday late, we have all the core targets for the baselines on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of kongoni. The current builds have KDE4.2rc, openoffice.org 3.0 and Songbird 1.0 (for now, the default music player - obviously open for discussion).

We also completed the first version of the kongoni_kde_artwork package, it's still pretty far from being a full theme, but it does contain working wallpaper, boot-menu theme and a menu-icon based on the kongoni logo. The default menu is lancelot which is now included in KDE.

The last task before the baseline can be released officially is to build a new kernel (it has to be done anyway as the kernel needs special features to be able to run the live cd) and then build the live cd's themselves, a couple of tests to make sure the installer works (it's been modified a bit since kongoni is multiplatform and bw64 is not) right and we should hopefully see a baseline release by this weekend (after the KDE 4.2 release party of course).

With that timeline, we expect to upgrade to full KDE 4.2 for the baseline - since the RC is running fine, this should be very easy.

I think it works well, simple and straight forward.

I'm glad you like it. Yeah, most of my designs end up very simple as they have to be implemented in either Plone or Drupal. Also, our issue with bandwidth is this country doesn't really allow for graphic intense sites. Emotion: tongue.gif
