Oh - cool :-) It looks really good. I love the auto-platform detection
for downloads, and that page, some comments:
* I would move the download link to the top - and have the
explanation below it - it takes time to read through that
text; I can feel my eyes getting tired - and - really, the
platform / language combination is -really- sweet and simple.
+ eg. the German tranlation (missing an s) ;-) seems
much crisper and prettier as of now.
+ it would be lovely to re-use the existing artwork
there, so - we would show (as well as a text link)
the download image:
+ they are easy to get from this .zip:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=41193
* I'd love to help out with that; how does one get involved with
the silverstripe goodness ?
* The Features page is great - though, perhaps we need some
images there too in time.
+ Also, I suspect a common visitor flow would be to
think:
"What is new in the latest version"
+ click that link, and not find what they want, so
perhaps some link to the release notes for the
latest version belongs near the top there (?)
* Get Involved
+ again - I would like the "how to become a developer"
very present, in front of people's eyes: not hidden
somewhere in plain-view, where you have to actively
look for it.
+ ie. I want people to think: "oh ! perhaps I
could get involved - didn't think of that" as
they wander around the website: rather than
trying to catch only those people who went
looking for it. "We need you !" type stuff.
+ we saw from the website analytics on our first
day, that most people only go one click away
from the 1st page - and increasingly few hit
sub-links / side-bars etc.
+ Ergo - more than one top-level tab away from the
front-page is not good.
+ perhaps we could cure this by putting a lot of
challenge / developer content on the
front-page of "Get Involved"
+ "We want to get developers involved"
Otherwise, there is so much that is really positive here; really nice
work David (and co). I'm looking forward to the final result.
All the best,
Michael.
