I have proposed this to the FPC core team, after some insistance I managed
to get a list of constraints from (if memory serves well?) 1 person.
I admit I was put off by what I perceived to be a complete lack of
enthusiasm
for this plan in the team, so I put it in the refrigerator for the time
being...
My intent is to re-start the debate on this after 3.2.4 comes out.
Just to say that I do think the site (20+ years old?) can use an overhaul,
and that with the above plan, no developer time needs to be spent on it.
This thread is supposed to be about getting new users but I hear many
people still digging their heels in on these out dated elements. A 20 year
old website can’t be good. No business would allow this so I don’t see how
it should be different for a compiler. It’s possible new potential users
get to the website and think it’s a joke and leave right then. This is what
people are like in the real word and it should be taken notice of in my
opinion.
I fully agree. It is especially true for young people.
My wife creates websites for a living.
I nearly had to re-animate her after she looked at the FPC website.
The FPC website is a no-go area for her since that time.
Hence my intent to re-open the debate.
Michael.
