Excellent! Maybe a link to how to add yourself to the map here instead of just to the lists? > 2) Rewrote the PDL Developers page. > > http://pdl.perl.org/?page=develop (hit refresh) > > Based on feedback from Chris Marshall and David > Mertens: > > (a) Newly added links: > > * Feature request tracker Browse Git repository > * online To request a feature, use the Feature Request tracker URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=350612&group_id=612 where you must first login to sf.net to "Add new" > (b) I rewrote the developer instructions: > > * Made Git more prominent and Mercurial less > prominent, but without hiding Mercurial. * Now a Git > user will see all the information about Git "together", > and for that matter, so will a Mercurial user.

This looks great and addresses my concern about confusion for folks trying to learn git to develop with PDL. The TAB layout is excellent. I suggest putting the command table under the respective tabs with some text about any "gotchas" that could come up---especially with git. If you look at it, all the columns of the example table are almost identical after all... > I think these two changes should mostly address the > concerns raised by Chris.

Is the site on git? Two other thoughts: (1) The 2nd bullet under "About PDL" should be a "Getting Started" and not Download as that will leave the visitor with lots of PDL (most often source) and nowhere to go (2) The last sentence of the 2nd paragraph of Home: For example, using PDL the Perl variable $a can hold a 1024x1024 floating point image, it only takes 4MB of memory to store it and expressions like $a = sqrt($a) + 2 manipulate the whole image in a few milliseconds. "few milliseconds" should be "fraction of a second" as that is what the timings bear out. Cheers, Chris
