[GenABEL-dev] layout of GenABEL main page

[Yurii Aulchenko]

Dear All,

I agree with critique of Maarten, and I actually still not sure if I like
Maarten's or Grant's idea better. Interesting thing is that - not sure all
realize it - Grant's variant is his vision of Maarten's prototype :)
However, Grant's variant has an important advantage - it is ready to serve
as logo. And I actually want to use a logo in my slides for UseR!-2013.

So I suggest we take Grant's logo as a working variant. No doubt that the
logo is going to evolve with time - as anything we do in the project -
code, documentation; logo is no different, I think. The element which is
going to stay and keep it recognizable is the way of spelling the GenABEL
:) - Like Gnu's horns in the GNU logo.

What we can do next is to place an open call on site/forum for other users
to contribute, but this is going to take time, and meanwhile I suggest to
stick with Grant's variant.
