The only objection I have concerns the cartoon. Yes, I think it's too childish. I know this response is too late since Dave has already implemented the idea, but can he yank the cartoon, if Dave actually included it? (I haven't seen the updated page yet.) Aleksey can include the cartoon on his Boost page if he wants.
Having produced the thing, I feel a bit guilty :) I find the image a little at odds with the general feel of the site, but some humor cannot hurt much. Anyway, this is just my personal opinion. At least, I hope nobody finds it offensive or deeply inappropriate.
Anyone who even skims through this mailing list would have to agree that we all tend to take ourselves a bit too seriously. From my perspective, little "childish" humor is a welcome bit of fresh air...
I agree 100%. A little humor here and there, in fact, is good! For one, it relieves stress, and promotes a good feeling for the reader. IMHO, that's very important. It's hard to get through a very serious book, for instance. I prefer reading a book with a bit of humor here and there. Same with web pages. If it's at odds with the general feel of the site as it is now, so what? To be blunt, I feel that the site needs a major overhaul. I find it to be, ehm... boring. I hope this is a start of something new! Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
