You reckon you can make a site look good? You can try your magic for planetmysql.org
It’s a fairly simple site, the output is based on a Smarty template and a stylesheet. You should be able to work out a basic new look by just modifying the stylesheet.
Post your mockup somewhere and comment to this posting, or send an email to the MySQL community alias (or to me directly).
The winner will get… Glory of course! And a 10th anniversary MySQL mug or T-shirt? Hmm, well you tell me. Let’s funk up the planetmysql.org site!

Where does one get hold of the source in order to make the layout and design edits to the CSS etc?
It’s referenced at the top of each page anyway… but the direct ref is http://www.planetmysql.org/planet.css
I was thinking people could just make a static mockup, but perhaps it does make sense to give out the smarty template – so you can hack that as you want. I’ve copied it here: http://www.planetmysql.org/main-output.smarty
Do note that there’s already a feed submit page, and we’ll add a FAQ, search page, and other nifties. So make sure your ideas can be applied there also.
