++ and the "how it looks" is much better, too :) I don't want to sound rude but I don't like any of the proposed designs. To be honest, from a stilistic point of view they all look worse than the current Catalyst frontpage. They all pale in comparison to nearly EVERY other MVC framework's web site. Look at djangoproject.com, cakephp.org, symfony-project.org, even rubyonrails.org with its simplistic approach is much more attractive. No offense, but if this is a glimpse at the future of catalyst.perl.org I'm seriously worried about the framework's future. This is how to NOT attract new users. Once again, sorry for being so negative but this just shows how much I care about Catalyst gaining more attention. I don't know if there's time for a second round of proposals, but if you ask me we should give this a little bit more time and try to find alternatives. Nevertheless, thanks to all contributors for their work! --Tobias _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
