Dear developers,
I have not followed the discussions regarding the new site, but I can
say that the end result is impressive, much better than the old
version of the site. I also found it a good idea to provide Wikipedia
links for WYSIWYM, WYSIWYG and TeX. On this point I have a couple
suggestions.
Since LyX primarily uses LaTeX (packages), while TeX is only a
backend, the Home page might also link to the LaTeX article on
Wikipedia. Also, personally I find the LaTeX article much more
persuading to a new-comer.
Second would be to actually make a link to the LyX article. People
always (at least I do so) like to instantly see different views of the
"topic" presented, and the NPOV of Wikipedia is often well accepted
and appreciated. The LyX article might rapidly re-assure a new-comer
that LyX is something serious. (This might also mean that the
Wikipedia article would need a bit polished.)
Best regards,
Liviu
I agree that we should definitely mention LaTeX on the front page. Your
other ideas are good, too. (However, I think the front page should be
minimalist and concise; links and terminology should be carefully chosen
out of necessity.)
