I've removed the links to milnix.org. Harald, I did this by directly editing www2/index.html and www2/inc/header.shtml. Obviously, this isn't the right thing to do, since there is no way for me to check in my changes. Please add a message that is printed on the login to the s...@sagemath account that points to a file documenting how to make changes to the website. Regarding ideas for improving the site, I'm not afraid of change. If this whole discussion ends with "everything is fine now, let's do nothing", than I'll be disappointed. I'm sure our site isn't optimal, and even if it was optimal one year ago when Harald rolled it out, there is no harm in refreshing it and giving it a new look. Instead of comparing the site to Mathematica's (which I personally also do not like, as it also makes me feel very nervous, uncomfortable, and frustrated), maybe people could point out what software project web sites they really love. For example, I really like the SQLAlchemy homepage: http://www.sqlalchemy.org It's really clean, easy to find links to important things quickly, looks good, etc. I'm all for a redesign of the Sage website. I designed the first version, and I was able to relax and let Harald totally redesign it when he came along. I think Harald will consider further redesign in a similar spirit of continually renewal and reinvigoration. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
