Brilliant idea! We could use DHH's head :)

It would probably make sense to just use the upcoming MetaCPAN logo.
Let's hope that the MetaCPAN team makes a good choice. By the way:
This one is totally awesome:

 1) it don't fit into 1600x1200 (by height) - and so, it will not fit
 into smaller screens. I think, main page should be bit smaller, and
 should fit into 1280x1024 at max. I think it will look even better, if
 information will be a bit more condensed.

Almost no website fits into my window vertically, that's what
scrollbars were invented for ;-) I wanted to make sure that everything
has enough room to breathe. Nevertheless, I'll see if I can put things
closer together to make them fit vertically.

 2) phrase fun, rewarding and quick looks like link, but this is just
 text - compare with Download, Install, Tutorial on right.

Fixed in trunk.

 3) image deployment_os_logos.png looks very strange, as for me. why
 Windows get more space than all others? :) Give more space for Linux
 and FreeBSD! :)) Also, seems Solaris is RIP and so not actual
 anymore?..

You're right. I copied this logo from the old site, but it makes
absolutely no sense anymore. Maybe we should replace it with supported
webservers rather than OSs?

 4) Would you like to switch to use Bootstrap, and implement responsive
 page? For now, content width seems to be fixed at 960px, and I think
 it should be not very good on smartphones.

Bootstrap would be nice, although I haven't worked with it yet.

Dear list,

it is with great pleasure that I can announce a redesign of the old
Catalyst framework front page. Some of you may remember the draft from
a couple of years back when I first came up with it here on the list.
I tweaked a couple of things (e.g. everything links to MetaCPAN) and
t0m++ pushed it live this morning. I'd like all of you to take a
minute to check it out and give me some (constructive!) feedback:

http://www.catalystframework.org/beta

For now it's just one static page, but we should definitely aim at
bringing more content (e.g. the docs) into the new design. dpetrov++
suggested using the excellent MetaCPAN API to grab the POD, which I
think is a fantastic idea I'm currently experimenting with.
Nevertheless, as it stands now it's already an enormous improvement
over the old site IMHO.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Re: [Catalyst] New catalystframework.org

2012-03-13 Thread Tobias Kremer
Hi!

 * The eBook (PDF) from Apress link is broken.

Fixed in trunk.

 * grey on black is difficult to read

Made the links in the footer a tad lighter.

 * The amazon.com link leads to amazon.co.uk (not a problem, but unexpected)

It looks like the link is some sort of affiliate link
(tag=enligperlorga-21) which I didn't want to break. Should/Can this
be changed?

 * light peach on white is so difficult to see that I didn't even notice it 
 was there at first

Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean ...

 * fonts are sized in pixels - not good for screens of varying
 resolutions, and specifically ignoring my browser settings

My browser (Chrome) happily scales the fonts (and everything else
accordingly) even though they are sized in pixels. Even Twitter's
bootstrap uses pixels and it's becoming somewhat of a de-facto
standard.

 * in fact, it seems everything is sized in pixels - ugh
 * The layout assumes that I am willing to give it over 1000 wide of my
 screen pixels. I'm not usually, and on my netbook it is physically
 impossible.
 * When it isn't given 1000 pixels, the layout is ugly (the background of
 column 3 is truncated)

Best thing would be a responsive design version. Unfortunately, I
haven't found the time yet to completely overhaul the (2-3 years old)
markup. I just wanted to finally get it out there because the old site
looks horrible IMHO and was partially broken and/or outdated.

Thanks for your comments, Dave!
