The new site is much nicer than the old one. Congratulations.
I do have one small crticism, however. You failed to follow the principle of persistent URLs as in the URL as UI<http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990321.html>and broke links to the documention. For example, the api javadoc... Old URL: http://www.restlet.org/docs/api/ New URL: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.0/api/ -- Mark R On 3/13/07, Thierry Boileau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello John and Jonathan, some of your remarks have been taken into account : - no more table for the general layout - paragraph line height increased - index line height increased - rounded corners enhanced (zoom should be better, I hope) - code examples blocks improved (clearer background, text size and lne height increased) - link to an old release archive directory for Downloads. Thanks for your pieces of advice, and feel free to add more remarks! Still to fix : - tutorial page not centered under Safari Best regards, Thierry > Wohoo! That's a big change!
