I'm not taking a position specifically for this thread (only sifted through it, and I haven't had that particular problem with ccw), but here is another POV: Ever since Sourceforge became popular and started the project hosting thing, I have continually been annoyed when (1) people link to and (2) google results prefer the sf/github/bitbucket/gcode/whatever page instead of the manually maintained project page. The reason is that they are essentially boilerplate that waste my time, if I am not actively knowledgable about the project already. Since all projects have the same structure, you essentially know nothing just by looking at the project summary. You have to dig around a bit to get a feel for whether it's a live, whether you're in the right place for documentation and whether the community is "elsewhere". A similar effect is what you get with projects that use maven to generate a boilerplate website. You don't know whether it's actually filled in, and whether it is worth clicking around to find real information. A manually maintained project website, even if completely non-fashionable, on the other hand gives me an instant feel for the project. News items on the front page indicate liveness, manually hand-picked links and decided structure hopefully gives a good crash course/crash intro as to what it is etc. Again, just another POV. Take it with a grain of salt. But know that I'm speaking *as a developer*, just not as a developer *of those things* that I am trying to find/use/read about. -- / Peter Schuller -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
