Having a real-life designer in the mix is always enlightening and
fun. :) Thanks for jumping in on this, Avadh.

Not just the front default page, but there are other pages that need
real attention:

* rails/info pages (seen during dev/test, not prod)

* error pages, both in dev/test *and* prod. There's a gem called
"better_errors" that does a good job, but the regular ones are barely
passing grade.

Also, all the generated views. The default (generated) Rails
displays and views are rather tarnished with old age and such. *I* would
*love* to see someone take on the default views as well, as they are
extremely ugly things, to the point I would say not even functionally
useful.

Have a go, Avadh, please? Just keep them framework and JS agnostic. I
can't say if anyone on the core team will accept it, but it sure would
be nice!

And I'm nobody at all whose opinion on this means nothing in the
end. Just a heavy user. :)
