Replying to myself here - Since Gershom kindly went ahead with pushing the release live, I thought I'd open another issue on github concerning outstanding issues that the new design might have introduced: https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/issues/165

I would prefer it if people could either post further findings/suggestions there or at least reference replies they've made here in a comment so I can keep track of them.

best regards,
David

David -- that sounds about right to me (in terms of people liking the
broad strokes and raising issues that are important but don't need to
be in scope for this initial phase).

If you have anything else you want to do first, let me know, otherwise
I'll go ahead and accept the pull and, barring any further discussion
that stands in the way, redeploy sometime this week.

We can then proceed in a lot of directions from there :-)

Sound good all?

Cheers,
Gershom

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for the kind words.

I've checked the color contrast and it seems to range between 3.2 and 4.7
with a mean contrast at 4.0, which borders on problematic (the
recommendation is 4.5), but doesn't seem terribly inaccessible, especially
since it's only used on a handful of links and not the entire text.

I will add this to my list of "along the way" improvements for a final run,
trying to bump the contrast ratio to a more steady 4.5+.


Since you appear to be keen on accessibility: If you have specific issues that you would like to raise to and, preferably, advice on how to improve
them, I'm all ears. I'm pointing that out because "doesn't /look/
accessible" (my emphasis) doesn't give me that much to work with and I hope
it's obvious that following WCAG2.0 "as strictly as possible" is not
feasible for a volunteer.

While I agree that accessibility is a very important aspect to pay attention to, I would appreciate not getting too lost in details like this at this stage in the process. The intent of my PR is to replace the current site design, not iron out every possible issue with it (similar contrast concerns are valid for the current site, for example the community section - that we
fixed... by removing it - goes as low as 2.3 in terms of contrast) and
certainly not attain a "universal design" (which, admittedly, I'm not sure I
fully understand the meaning of).


That being said, I appreciate that my PR apparently continues to foster a level of bikeshedding (with occasional compliments thrown in) that seems to
suggest that there isn't much objection to it ;-) So - since my time is
limited, I hope we can move ahead with the PR some time soon and move the
more detailed analysis to followup tickets.

best regards,
David

The pink on purple doesn't look accessible. I.e. there is too low
contrast. Please try to make sure WCAG 2.0 is adhered to as strictly
as possible in order to ensure universal design that doesn't
discriminate against people with disabilities.

Thanks to David for working on this!
