[p2pu-dev] Join! Current P2PU Front Page Taskforce

[Jessica Ledbetter]

Well, there's a new system coming so I thought you and Alison were
mostly tweaking the colors for usability. That works for me. I think
the ones you put up were fine when I changed #333 text color with
#000.  Maybe you could have the students that found the yellow
difficult to read on check the new mockup. I don't want to get delayed
by waiting and getting too much feedback though if that makes sense.

And, for what it's worth, I like Alison's aqua. Probably has to be
shifted a little for readable but I like the pop of color.
