Re: [racket-dev] Racket home page proposal

Re: [racket-dev] Racket home page proposal
Asumu, thanks for the effort. I like the width of the Ruby and Clojure pages -- space on each side is good. I really like the highlighting of the sample code on the Ruby page. I prefer our organization of sample code, and I wish we could run some of these in Danny's compiler. I like the height of the old Racket page.

That makes me at least pay more attention to it. Another point that wasn't raised so far is what to do with pages where this content fits more.For the example of a twitter/blog feed and a facebook/google+ badges, the community page is much more fitting, so either this proposal drags content from there to the front page (= noise), or places it on both (= annoying redundancy). It could work better if there was some new content to put on the front page. BTW, modulo objections along Neil's lines, it seems fine to add that to the community page. But note that there's no mention there of the FB page since there's no content on it yet, and the same goes for google+. (BTW², with google+ you can even link to a page and have it integrated by g+.
