Hi, +1 for white websites indeed :-)
Some comments from my side: - The logo in the menu is quite disproportional in Chrome and looks quite bad. I can send you a screenshot if you can't check. It looks good in Safari. - The stack image is a bit blurry and also quite confusing. It might look like Gelly is built on top of Table API and ML on top of Gelly. Also, I get why Table is both on top of DataSet and DataStream, but I would add each component once and have a note "batch & streaming" instead of copying. First time I saw this on some slides, I thought it was a mistake :/ - +1 for Community in the front page, but why not also keep the link in the menu? Cheers, Vasia.
