Re: [xtext-dev] Xtext Website
|
Great!
I like drafts 1 and 3 best.
Here are my remarks:
- We should feature the professional support link more prominently. I very much like the text you put into the prof support box in draft 1 ("Want to use Xtext in a commercial environment..").
- The yellow download button is a bit too yellow
- Latest Activity - brilliant! However, as Sven noted, you should re-order it: Blogs, Tweets, Commits
- how about using "Making simple things simple and complex things possible" as a slogan?
I am not sure about the screencast. On one hand, I really like it because users can learn about Xtext in 1 minute and 21 seconds (a bit short, though), onm the other hand, it looks quite massive.
BTW: will we get a new logo?
Cheers,
Peter
