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

Here's my take on the new design: Screenshot: http://imgur.com/9LHvk.jpg Live version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/623671/haskell_platform_redesign/index.htm

Ooooo, I like it! Nice one for building it. Would you consider doing a design for the Haskell web site based on this template? (MediaWiki, remember) Might I suggest making "The Haskell Platform" coloured in a shade of the blue you're using? What do you think? It might look too flat, I don't know. Nevermind. Anyway, fantastic! What does everyone else think? So we have: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ (Kudos to Don for coming up with the original design and content from nothing.) http://imgur.com/NjiVh => http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/download-website/ http://imgur.com/9LHvk.jpg => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/623671/haskell_platform_redesign/index.htm I'm leaning towards Neimeijer's. By the way, what tools did you use to make this?

Thanks. As for designing the Haskell web site: I don't have any experience with making templates for MediaWiki, but I can at least give it a try. Is there anywhere I can download an offline copy of the site so I can start experimenting?

That does indeed look better, thanks. I've updated the title on the live version.
By the way, what tools did you use to make this?
Photoshop for creating the concept and the images. Sublime Text for writing the html and css.

I like it as well. There are only two nitpicks: I think that icon for Linux is lame, and I get confused by the image of the guy diving. Thanks, =) -- Felipe.

+1 also but why is linux cross-eyed ? :-) Brian

Well, Linux fanboys are known for spending too much time with their
computers compiling OS kernel or building world, no surprise their
eyes aren't in place.

That's just Gentoo fanboys, thank you very much. Stop trying to give the rest of the riff-raff our points of pride!!! -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Yes, but our freshly compiled binaries have far more nutrients then your factory produced ones! Besides, the world would be a far better place if everyone compiled local rather than having binaries shipped to them from half-way across the globe... On 7/17/10 4:08 PM, Miguel Mitrofanov wrote:

Is it just me, or does aligning [OSX,Win,Linux] `zip` [Comprehensive, Robust, CuttingEdge] send the wrong message... -- Live well, ~wren

I found it rather conspicuous that all three of the items listed under "cutting edge" (multicore parallelism, thread sparks, and transactional memory) fell into concurrency/parallelism category. I'm not saying it's a problem, or that I have a better idea, but are we conscious that we're doing it, and is it what we want? Friendly, --Lane

Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call Windows "Robust"... -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
