For the people arriving on the homepage we can either keep the current unstyled HTML and add a javascript redirect or we could design a landing pages with 2 columns with quick links independent of the release: First column: stable for regular users => official download link fo the latest stable release or $ pip install numpy scipy scikit-learn => link to the stable documentation Second column: bleeding edge for hackers $ git clone git://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.git $ cd scikit-learn $ make $ pip install -e . => link to the dev documentation We could also add a news section to announce events e.g. releases (with links to the change log), sprints and conferences scikit-learn developers will attend. + link to the mailing list For instance I like the http://ipython.org home page cause it features easy links for both the dev and stable versions + announcements that we currently lacks. -- Olivier http://twitter.com/ogrisel - http://github.com/ogrisel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
