Update the control icons on patterns

Talking with Aurelius during the week, and he showed an updated version of the control labels on patterns that includes some descriptive text.

This seemed to work much better on the pattern, and made the whole item more immediately comprehensible. I plan to update the template, and will post a link once it's done for feedback. If it looks positive then we can rework the rest of the patterns so far.

OpenID support

I've enabled OpenID support on the site so you can now login with your Open ID instead of having to register with us. Please let us know if you have any trouble. Need an Open ID provider? Try www.myopenid.com who have a nice and easy service. There are plenty of other providers out there and if you have an account with Google, Yahoo, or some other big player you probably already have an ID.

Draft Pattern: SOA internal usage

The sequel to the "SOA: publication and location" has now been uploaded in draft state. Would be great if you could comment in the discussion forum. Regards Aurelius

New front page image

Spent a few minutes playing with a new front page image. Aurelius suggested that the tag lines should be a little more action focussed, and I was concerned the old image had too many colors and lines (it's mandatory for lots of white space in these Web 2.0 times).

Hopefully it's a bit clearer to read and understand now.

Would you agree? I'd be interested in your feedback on the front page. Is it clear what OSA is about? Any ideas for further improvement welcomed.
