Hi all, I want to write a URL to represent GHC. It seems that www.haskell.org/ghc is the right one. But that page is quite ugly! A full redesign is always a challenge, so I'll make a simple request: remove announcements of old releases, for some definition of old. (I suggest: all releases from current major version + last release from previous major version.) Right now, I have to scroll down to get to "What is GHC?" and it's a little embarrassing. Thanks! Richard

Hi,
A low-effort alternative would be to swap the order of the 'Latest News'
and 'What is GHC?' sections.
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks Richard. You could also put in a _release history_ hyperlink to a separate page.

I agree. At the bottom it says "this page is maintained by Simon Marlow").

Hi.
I'm pretty sure the design of the GHC homepage was discussed previously somewhere, but I can't find the thread at the moment. Anyway, there's a repository of the website on GitHub[1]. You could perhaps try to send a pull request there.
Best regards,
Matěj

Ah. I was not aware of that repo. I've posted a PR there.
Thanks!
Richard
PS: Yes, I remember some thread about a redesign. But I didn't want to get involved with all that -- just a quick fix is what I was after.
