I'm personally not a big fan of the chart in general. I love the powered by page, but the chart is somewhat annoying to update and doesn't link out to the external projects. I would prefer actually listing out the projects (still with logos). However, I understand that having the chart on the webpage is nice to quickly drop into presentations so I don't feel too strongly about changing this.
As for the research contributions, I really don't think a similar chart is the best way to do this. I think it would be much nicer to give the full citation information and a link to the project. I'm certainly not opposed to having a chart on top of this, but that means we need to have some type of visual representation of each project which I don't think we have the skills to do effectively. -- Michael Mior [email protected] 2018-02-08 16:21 GMT-05:00 Julian Hyde <[email protected]>: > Edmon, > > Thank you for taking the initiative with this.
