This may well be the case, but including the pony is essentially a non-negotiable point. The pony is an unofficial logo, and while I like it, many don't perceive it as a professional image, and part of our brief here is to maintain a professional image for Django as a project. I would also point out that the comments I made on the last design haven't been addressed by this design, either. Where is call to action for someone wanting to find out about/support the Django Software Foundation site? Where is the call to action for non-technical managers looking for information? Where is the call to action for people wanting to contribute to the project? Where are the links to other community resources (e.g., Django People)? So far, all the designs being proposed appear to be novel reinventions of the content that is already on Django's website. They don't appear to be addressing the fundamental issues that exist with the existing site and it's content.
