Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on the project web site. Here's my
summary of the 5-ish opinions expressed:
- It's not clear that the large background graphic from Torstein's
design is the way to go. Somehow it may be out of keeping with the
"character" of the Ur/Web project.
- Adding a live-coding demo section seems like a no-brainer. I started
a separate discussion thread looking for someone to spearhead an
implementation.
- Moving to Git & GitHub also seems like a no-brainer. One concern
about GitHub was expressed, regarding censorship. I personally am not
too worried there, as it's easy to maintain "mirrors" of a Git
repository all over the place, to be ready in case one main provider
goes over to the dark side. The pros seem to outweigh the cons,
considering how many potential contributors already have GitHub accounts
and are used to using GitHub.
- It may still be worth tweaking the graphical design of the Ur project
site, but I'm not seeing a clear consensus right now on exactly how that
should look. (I really don't mind the current site. :P)
Another very useful thing would be a tutorial that doesn't assume ML and
Haskell familiarity, ideally written by someone beside me, since
Ur/Web's design has been in some sense optimized for my brain. :) Any
takers there?

I'm not sure about this one. Ur/Web is for web _apps_, not web _sites_,
so it may be a mismatch for a largely static site.
