Hi Erik Great work! Awesome! Thank you and Abu and all other contributors!
+ I love the new logo + I really like the style of writting and the humour. + great interfacting article, and really great (important!) that it is mentioned on main page + really good Documentation article, with the ordered sections and pointers to important topics. really shows the feature-richness of picolisp, I find. + same with Categories article and the dbmaintenance ? maybe rename "Using SSL" to "Using @bin/SSL" on the main page ? (so readers don't mix it with the more general SSL/TLS) <- great article, too ! search result needs a background color (and maybe a border, too), else it gets too much intermixed with the main template (grey font on white), the search results should be easily spotted -> maybe just give a background-color to #searchGrp id ? (the div) ? ? maybe mention Regenaxers cluster project and second place in c't contest (german computer magazine: https://shop.heise.de/katalog/entscheidende-massnahme ) in 2006 in database section on main page? ! favicon is still old, maybe replace this with the new logo, too ? -> favicons are cached by most browsers (once visited), and sometimes they rarely check for changed favicons, putting a <link> into <head> on the page can help with that, e.g. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico?v=2"> (the query parameter can be meaningless, just to trigger the browser to clean favicon cache) ! I don't like Google keeping track of every visit I do on picolisp.com. Please host the stylesheets on picolisp.com instead of using tracking CDN. ? Elsewhere-link at the bottom of main page -> why not generate here a link at random from a predefined list? -> like a list of links of repos/pages of picolisp-projects ? and the picolisp wikipedia article? Question: What kind of licence is on the logo picture? Could I use it in the future, like put it in a product logo to indicate the product is made with picolisp ? Thanks again, the new page is really nice. - beneroth ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Gustafson [mailto:erik.d.gustaf...@gmail.com] To: picolisp@software-lab.de Sent: Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:34:09 -0500 Subject: Redesigned Wiki is Live Hi List, I'm very excited to announce that the redesigned PicoLisp wiki is now running on the server! Have a look: http://picolisp.com In my (slightly biased) opinion, PicoLisp has one of the coolest programming language websites out there now. It's sleek and modern and should be very accessible from any device. Changes to the code base were minimal (mostly CSS), so it still works great with text-based browsers as well. But don't let the new paint job fool you. The wiki has much more to offer! I spent a lot of time going through the mail archives, finding the most helpful threads and turning them into new articles. I've tried to organize the documentation to be most helpful to newcomers, to set them on a clear path from beginner to lisp wizard. I'd love any feedback. How's the design feel? The copy? I tried my best to incorporate all the feedback I got from the initial homepage mockup I posted a few months ago. Note that there are still some rough spots in some of the articles/pages. I plan to fill that out in the coming weeks and continue to refine the content, hopefully with your help! As such, please hold off on posting to Reddit, HN, etc. for a bit. And if there is anything that seems to be missing, or you'd like to find a spot for something you've been working, let me know. So thanks to all of you for the great discussion over the years! It's been a lot fun and I've learned a ton. Finally, many thanks to Alex, not only for helping me better understand the wiki and put it back together, but for PicoLisp in general. Cheers y'all, Erik
