I like the site the way it is. I've been translating many of the pages into Russian, and the great thing about the design is the simplicity. The source html reads more or less like LaTeX to me in that all the commands are meaningful and transparent. As far as the content, I think it is important to consider how easy it is for a non-native English speaker to understand. Definitely anybody who uses Sage must know some English, but keeping the navigation clear and simple might help visitors who perhaps think in another language, and it also makes producing translations easier.
As for the colors and logo, to my eye the Sage site appears similar to this Google page I'm typing on, so there is a counter-example to the trend of using many colors on professionally designed sites. I personally believe mathematicians would tend to prefer that the site communicates the main ideas concisely, whereas commercial sites want to provoke an impulsive decision to buy and buy again. Thus I believe that the different intentions behind producing the sites naturally leads to very different looking sites. I'd much rather see the content change and help with that than change the navigation and appearance. -Keith --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
