Has anyone seen http://beta.python.org/ recently? Aside from minor details I think it's a wonderful design. And the content! Unbelievably great promotional material. Just look at some of the subtopics of http://beta.python.org/about. It would be great to have something like that for Boost.
I have to say that I dislike the look of that site and I consider its home page a good example of how a home page should not be designed. At 1024x768 there are three screenfuls of information and only the third one contains information that may be of any interest after the first time you visited the site, and that's assuming you know next to nothing about Python the first time.
That's fine, I think. What do I ever want that's on the Boost homepage other than a link to some other part of the site? Not much, I must say. Do you want to see something else on Boost's homepage? We can't put everything there. It seems to me that filling the homepage with content of interest to first- and second-time visitors is about the best thing we can use it for.
Together with the ACCU one and Boost's own, I'm sorry to say, that's another site that was recently redesigned and where the result doesn't strike me as a clear improvement over the previous one.
What do you think would be an improvement. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
