IOW, the contrast is really low because the lines of the letters are so thin. This is more pronounced with the blue of the links than with the black, but both are a problem.
I think dense text is much harder to read. When space is at a premium, then I think dense text is acceptable. But given the choice between a crowded page and a more open one, I prefer the latter. Dense text tends to make it more difficult to find things, I think.
At present, there's no danger of that problem. Note, I'm not talking about the whitespace between paragraphs or sections of the page, but about how little black or blue there is where there is text. It is difficult for me to read the text because the letters are washed out by the white background.
I think we'd need to see a screen capture of what you see. I think you are the only one so far to complain about the text not being dense enough. Everyone else has complained about the opposite. Hence why I went through the task of figuring out how to use the IE "smaller" font portably.
-- The "Participation" section should be a subsection of the "Welcome to Boost.org!" section. It should be a main section, despite how much participation is valued.
Did you mean to say "It should [not] be a main section..."? If so, I think I agree. It's such a small paragraph that it seems a little odd by itself.
Right.
Right content changes... How do others feel? Should "Participation" be, or not, a section? ... I'll make a comparison page for people to look at.. http://redshift-software.com/~grafik/boost/index-alt.htm
-- The section labeled, "About," has always mislead me. I guess
I agree that "About" is used a little unconventionally. I think other possibilities for the section title would be "Policies", "Protocol", "Details", "Contributing" or something along those lines.
Unless more things get pushed into that group.. "Contributing", or the shorter more active "Contribute", captures most narrowly the current set of links. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
