[PD] Editing CSS style, make pd.info better? [WAS: puredata.info site design provocation]

[Marco Donnarumma]

this is what I'm working on, started with the exhibition page, but it could
be generalized.
I only added now the background pattern of the ubuntu website, following on
the ubuntu font by chris.

This is only CSS editing, but I had to delete the navigation tab on the top
from the html.
I say so, because apparently it's "easy" to edit the plone css custom
theme, but edit the structure might be more painful.

Next I want to display images for each project and a slightly longer
description.

attached there's a screenshot..
