[Pydotorg-redesign] Draft HTML for redesign proposal

[Laura Creighton]

My laptop died yesterday.  The screen is shot.  I'm sorry, but I cannot
help you any more ....  at least until I can see if I can get it repaired.
SInce I hate the thing, I am sort of hoping _not_ ...

YOu may have fixed the rendering problem by removing the one user
who had it.  Boy, do I need to learn that trick for some customers of
mine.  :-)

I use mozilla and firebird for me, so I don't care about konqueror myself.
But I think that it is well used, so I wanted to see how it looked, and
it wasn't good ...

Interesting, now I get the canopener effect at work too.  You not
getting it?

Really making this window very narrow is --- odd.  But I'm not saying that
it is wrong.  more 'interesting' to me .... i might get perverse and like it.
