What do you think?
I'm seeing a lot a topics regards about fixing website, styles
an so on. Maybe is time to try to raise money and hire someone
with good knowledge and of course freetime to work only on it?
Matheus.
It also looks a bit wrong seeing Andrei as one of the core devs
putting so much time into the website issues, styling in
particular (don't get me wrong, this is absolutely fantastic
that someone's willing to do that, thanks Andrei -- and it
looks like most of the community now recognizes the need).
It's that any semi-decent web designer would probably do a
better job on the website design and layout while still
spending less time doing that (because they've done it a
hundred times already and/or do it for living). However, not
every web designer can hack on system language internals and
review D PRs!.. So someone needs to step up and do it (and/or
redo it, and/or hire someone to do it).
That's just my 2 cents which is purely subjective.
Nobody else has really stepped up to do it, so I think Andrei
just took it upon himself to do it.
If there was a crowdfunding to pay for designers for a new D
website I'd definitely chip in a bit, but I don't know how far
that would go. I agree that the current site seems like an ugly
ddoc hack, I just recently tried to fix a broken link on the
frontpage(should be easy, right?) and was confused by ddoc so I
had to submit a bug request.
