2) Color choices: http://redshift-software.com/~grafik/boost/index.htm
White on blue isn't a good choice here in my view. A light shading with dark text would be much better.
These things are very subjective. I liked the white on blue, but sometimes you have to pick lowest common denominator to make things work for everyone. http://luabind.sourceforge.net/boost.png Did that by erring on the side of simplicity.
I don't like these either -- the red is too jarring for me... http://uk.geocities.com/msclrhd/boost/boost2.html
Me too.
3) The need for icons Personally, the icons really don't do anything except add a bit of flair to the page. So I'm with Dave on this -- the text is more important.
Which is why it should be dark.
I'll have some additional thoughts on content organization if I can ever get finished with my OOPSLA workshop writeup. We had some specific discussions about content changes that need to be made...
Thanks for working on this!
Indeed, THANKS! -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
