Hello? New content for the Main Site

Postby rdearman » Thu May 12, 2016 9:33 am

I started a thread in the multilingual room a long time ago which was just "Hello". Now there are 4 pages of saying hello in many different languages. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas about how we could use them on the main site? Some things I thought of for example:
  • Artwork Banner for top of the page with all the various Hellos? (This might be good for the forum banner too)
  • A background image with all the words there
  • A guest post explaining what if any differences there are between the way people say hello. Or literal translations, like 你好="You Well"
Any thoughts or suggestions? BTW my graphics arts skills are A0 if you're wondering why I don't do that myself. :)

How about something similar to the banner on the Community part of the main phpBB website?

https://www.phpbb.com/community/

A number of similar "stick people" could say "Hello" in the top few languages on LLorg.

Also notice the horizontal menu bar containing "About Downloads Customise Support ...." Such a header for LLorg would add a whole new level of capability, including the very-much-needed link to the LLorg Wiki. And the whole header looks clean, sharp and useful.

Even those stick figures are beyond my computer graphics skills. But I do really like their banner and the idea of using the hellos.

There might be creative ways of realising that idea, but from that description alone the result would look like a stock picture to me:
