RE: Design for 2010.2.x series Haskell Platform site (Don Stewart)

Is it just me, or does aligning [OSX,Win,Linux] `zip` [Comprehensive, Robust, CuttingEdge] send the wrong message...
Yeah, I noticed that too when designing it, but at the time it didn't bother me too much. I do see how it could confuse some people though, so I've made a design alternative that solves this problem. I think it also makes for a better landing page for people who don't yet know anything about Haskell, since the current design doesn't explain what Haskell actually is. I'll let you guys be the judge though. New alternative: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/623671/haskell_platform_redesign/index2.htm

I know folks who'd refute all three of those associations, so... :)

I like that one. The intro blurbs for Haskell/HP are nice for newcomers, it avoids the aforementioned issue, and it's less ostentatious in its advertising. +1. -- Live well, ~wren
