I have started working on getting the aur to look like the rest of the arch sites. So far I have the header looking good.
Not sure how useful the patches I have been sending are. I don't know if binary images that show up in my most recent patch, work with the patch utility or not..so instead of fiddling with it, I am just setting up a git repo for my changes.
The gitweb is here: http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=aur-eliott.git;a=summary
You can clone from here: http://projects.archlinux.org/git/aur-eliott.git
My 'testing' branch has the first stab at the header changes...it has effected the body of the site a bit negatively, so there needs to be some fixing there.

Cool it looks pretty good. I was going to try to fix it too but you've done way better. ;) Maybe we can collaborate?
On the back-end though I think I've made some very good changes. Please check out my code in gitweb. I've been trying to break out the presentation code from the rest of it. Check out web/templates and web/lib/aur.inc :D

That's in the experimental branch by the way.

ok. Mostly done with my themeing rework today. images: http://archlinux.org/~eliott/zomgstuff/aurimgs/
I will take a look at your tree, and see if I can merge your backend work in sometime this weekend Loui.
My changes are in my 'testing' branch...if you are interested.
If you're changing the templates, you may as well organise them a bit better. What I mean is the current layout of the pages is quite horrible. Imo there should be a package list on the front page, since that's what people are coming for, and there should be a login box on every page. It may be hard to do with the code base but if you're seperating business logic from presentation then it would be much easier for changes like this.
Of course you can always wait (or help with) AUR2 :P
Hehe that's what I've been doing. Making it look pretty isn't my forté though.

One thing at a time. First I want to get the site visually looking like it fits in with the other arch sites.

Who knows when people will get geared up enough to actually work on it though. I am addressing a current need right now. Once that is done....
