Thank you for the hard work that has gone into the site!
Can we do something to improve the styling of the new site? There are
people who are researching GWT as a candidate tool for development. When
they research whether or not they should consider it, they hear it can be
challenging to style. What do you think happens when those GWT developers
come to this site and the styling is less than they'd expect?
I hate to sound like a critic. I'm just trying to counter myths regarding
GWT, with styling being on the top of the list, and am now concerned how
this will play out in current circles debating GWT if this site isn't
improved quickly.
Here are some styling examples with Firefox 22.0 (the latest) on Windows
7.
1. In this line, text is very hard to read, like a bad image. It is tiny.
And, what is a beta version, exactly? The site? The current version of
GWT? All versions of GWT? I'm reporting. How do I change this line?

2. Of course, when evaluating GWT, people want to know Who is using
GWT<http://www.gwtproject.org/whos_using_gwt.html>.
Isn't this text is a little close to the image?
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/D3DWifoV9IbeGapUf-W20rWQr8aMpqFE1czQJLg48uFMpk7HeyERIKMZfkoR6mAdAg=s1600>
As someone noted, these pages were not built with GWT. Would someone
evaluating who never used GWT before know that? Or does this reinforce
what they are hearing from the critics.
If one purpose of this site is to help GWT grow, then can we put marketing
CSS love in it? Is there anything any of us can do to help improve this
site? I'd love to help if I can.
Thanks for getting the site up and helping GWT to be more successful!
