Martijn Dashorst commented on WICKET-3341:
------------------------------------------
Yes I regard them as showstoppers. Because I think the new site is only
prettier, not better. It has less necessary information. There are lots of
flaws in the design I envisioned, and its current implementation. The momentum
we have for developing a new site is great and we need to keep that going, but
force publishing it now when I have legitimate concerns makes me feel under
appreciated and under valued.
If the issue has been open since 2011, why is it adamant to go and force
publishing the site right now, aggravate me in the process–while we can work on
the issues, include more people in the process, have everybody mostly happy and
publish a new, improved web site in a couple of days or weeks?
And I think the github banner is actually against the website policy, if not in
writing most certainly in spirit. I want it not only gone from the new design,
but also from the current website ASAP.

> Our current site design has been with us for quite a while. It looked fresh
> in the 1980s, but now it has gone stale.
> This is a proposal for a new, fresh design of the home page and sub pages.
> The home page will feature a prominent download link, a list of feature
> descriptions, screenshots of sites powered by Wicket, official blog items and
> Buzz by our users.
> The screenshots of wicket powered websites will link to short descriptions of
> the sites under /meet/poweredby. Links to the websites will of course have
> nofollow
> Other pages will feature a menu on the right side of the page providing
> direct links to content.
> Attached are a couple of screen shots of how the site might look like.
> Screen 005 is an alternative of the home page without the list of features,
> but including the introduction to wicket article.
