Web Site Looks Great

Hi,

I was on my way to Squeakland to download an eToys pdf, and I ended up by
accident at the Squeak.org site. It looks amazing.
Nice work, webmaster!

It has improved very *very*  much!

There is one thing still missing though, which would make it even better - i
think.
The Squeak (mouse) Image on top should link back to the main page - this is
common practice.
There is a tiny link below it, that does just that... (it should be removed
i feel when the image links back - i think).

Thanks for the good idea.

That tiny link is the path of the user's current position. Go to some
pages or sub-pages and you'll see it change.

I agree the new site looks good.

One suggestion,  how about adding IRC information to the community page?

regards

On taking a look to see what Brad meant, I went to the screenshots  
page and noticed that it is rather sparse. Anyone wanting to make a  
contribution to Squeak at the cost of a little time might like to  
generate a few more interesting shots. It would be nice to have shots  
for any projects or products, not to mention a few groups to help  
show the tools - a shot with the various MC browsers, one with normal  
programming tools, etc. And of course any fun appearance setups using  
nice fonts/colours/whatever.

Has anyone with a MAC with the usual browsers seen the website? If so,
see any problems? (Ron sent me an image of a problem with IE6.)

Just send the screenshots, movies would be good too!, and the text about
the shot to the webteam and we'll stick 'em in.

Hope it is possible to make a work around for the contents box problem.

I did some basic clicking with my Mac setup. I have a G4 tower running OS
10.4.8. I clicked here and there with FF and Safari, and did not see any
problems. It looks great.

looks great :) and seems fine under Firefox, IE7 and Opera 9.10...
except... under IE7, the pics in the download box aren't displayed...

Now, 2 small remarks:
    - I find a bit weird the link squeak (for home) under the banner...
maybe it's possible to associate home by clicking the banner
    - Also, the display of dates in the weekly squeak news rss is a bit
heavy... I think a format like 12/12/2006 11:55pm would be clearer or
even no information about dates...


Anyway looks far better :)  Thanks for all !

We get lots of complaints/questions about this feature. Maybe we should
disable the path template...

I think it's the only date format we get from the feed. Having dates are
in my opinion good, it shows things are updated and maintained.
