This is really great stuff and I look forward to working with Jekyll rather than what we have.
I wanted to bump the thread to check on status and timelines, as I'm working on a new section of the site (/stream) and don't want to have to do the work twice.

Hi,
The CentOS website redesign effort is going on and there is already some code to evaluate at:
https://github.com/areguera/centos-jekyll-sites/tree/staging
The redesign uses jekyll static site generator, Montserrat typography and the artistic motif we used in CentOS distributions, to highlight the visual connection among these elements. The navigation header and footer changed to use a dark blue background consistent with CentOS artistic motif. On header the logo and link elements were moved from left to center with respective spaces so the left side of the logo and the left side of the content look aligned on left. On footer, links to CentOS About and CentOS Community were displayed along The CentOS Project description.
The content is based on what we have now in www.centos.org. I tried to replicate it but there are content still missing (on purpose to see how the "404 Not found page" looks like ;). The written information may need some consistency. For example on page titles, sometimes we write "The CentOS ...", others just "CentOS ...", and others no "CentOS" word at all.
The download links are missing on purpose so to bring debate about the way to go here. In the proposed code, we use two cards, one for CentOS Linux and other for CentOS Stream. Each card has tabs inside to organize download information about major releases of each distribution. This organization uses a table to relate architectures, packages, release notes, documentation and end-of-life. These cards are reused both in the home page and the download page, so we only need to change them in a single place (e.g.,
https://github.com/areguera/centos-jekyll-sites/blob/staging/_includes/cento... ).
What's your impressions so far? You are welcome to share your comments, suggestions, and code/design contributions.
