Ok, I am talking little too much so I just try to sum up my point. >From my perspective as a senior developer this whole "elitish" thing "mootools is for developers" makes me sad. Lately I had to hire some programmers and none of the candidates knew anything about mootools. I had to hire "jquery guys" and teach them new framework. It may be no problem for Aaron or core devs, who are word class programmers and probably can work with anyone - but for me it is a big burden.
And there is my friend who is making Joomla sites and he is just beginning programmer and also has to work with mootools. This students I hired could work with mootools earlier but there are really no entry points to mootools except Joomla. There are almost no brilliant controls out there that make people awe, mootools page is dull and boring and general message from the core devs is "if You are not javascript mastahacka mootools is NOT FOR YOU". The one and only promotional site for mootools is brilliant David Walsh blog. So if new site is just for current mootools devs - I think we don't need any redesign. I can find anything on current site with my eyes closed, I am used to it. It may get some improvements (comments for the docs and forge pages, obligatory licence type for the forge plugins) but it is ok. But if we want new developers coming we need to promote mootools and the main page is the best place for it. The main page should be for newbies, because "old dogs" would get to the docs or forge directly. And it should be not only for advanced developers but also for students and designers, because in the end this students and designers may become advanced developers. So for me first black mootools page with two awesome plugins is a best model, it SHOWS what mootools can do and brought a lot of people to mootools. I would also think about something for Joomla people, even a page with links to docs for versions of mootools which work with different versions of Joomla. Ok, enough the rant ;), thanks for all the hard work, Robert
