I agree the XP link is a bit shite. > Hopefully we'd get the photos and links to success > stories/events/software changing every now and again.. I think that in general, I don't like the fact that links to high-profile users are featured so prominently. That row of pictures there looks good to me 'as such' but linking there to 'success stories' feels, dunno, perhaps a bit cheesy to me. (That might be just my dutch upbringing) I would certainly want to see such links somewhere on the front page, just not so prominently. > > how about > > 1) High profile user of Python > 2) Link to upcoming python event > 3) Link to web development uses of python > > the only problem is > > 1) people will argue over which user of python to put up > 2) This will probably just be pycon and europython.. which is no bad > thing.. until we get more than two conferences at similar times.. which > one should we show? > 3) python isn't just about web development.. > > Suffice it to say we'll have some content and the example images will > change every now and again. > > btw do you have a problem with using nasa or astrazeneca as example high > profile users? As I said, I don't like them. We're not a commercial company trying to promote itself to potential buyers. But that's too a large degree a matter of taste. I do actually think, though, that if the Python website *is* going to feature such big names with such prominence, some sort of approval from these organizations should be requested? That they don't mind being used a a Python reference story? About what could be there... Link to the even calender, or recent/upcoming event.. That is one to stay, I think. I think it would be good to have a link there too development environments that can be used for Python: editors, debuggers, IDEs / IDE extenstions, etc A third item could perhaps be a link to the Python Package Index -- another thing that Python developers are likely to need. These things are, of course, rather developer-centered (well, Python-user centered...) Being a software developer that uses Python, I wouldn't really know what else to put there ;-) But many people might have other things they wish to put in the centre of attention on the front page. > > Tim Regards, --Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
