Recently I (with assistance from Asumu) have spent some time drafting a revised home page for Racket. A revised web page will nicely complement the big upcoming release, I hope. You can see the draft here, which is ready for people to try out:
http://homes.soic.indiana.edu/samth/new-web/ Some things to try out out: clicking the right and left arrows, clicking the "?" box, visiting the RacketCon page. The new page addresses a few problems that I see with our current page: 1. It works well on small devices, which our current page doesn't. Try it out on a phone or a tablet. 2. It reduces the size of the top header, which will lighten the burden on the documentation pages, for example, or the pkg index if we add the header there. 3. It puts more info on the first page. This means that people are more likely to see information about how to contribute to Racket or approaches to learning programming using our tools. 4. The font size is larger, which I think makes it much more readable. Perhaps more controversially, I adapted some prose about Racket from Matthias' "Racket is ..." post, and added a tag line at the top. Lots of work is still needed if we want to use this as the basis for Racket's web page (it's written in raw HTML, other pages would need work, etc), but I hope that people like it enough to continue pursuing this.
