Re: Potential improvements to the homepage?

[Andrew Bernard]

Hello Andrew and welcome (from another Haskell user!).

I agree with you. The website is looking tired and faded. But I think
it is somehow generated programmatically from the lilypond builds, and
not based on a content management system. I suspect this makes it
difficult to give it a fresh new look. This topic may better be raised
on the lilypond development list perhaps?

Lilypond does not have a REPL like Haskell. It's simply compiled. I
seem to recall there is a site where you can try out lilypond on the
web. The others on the list will know.

Haskell recently renovated their website from it's tired form to a
really contemporary one. I am convinced this is helpful to Haskell
newbies, and it is vastly more pleasant to explore and use. So, a good
idea from you, I think. I'd also be willing to help out with a fresh
look and feel, but as mentioned, it depends on my first comment.

Recently people became interested in having a logo for lilypond
branding and awareness. A contemporary website would go a long way in
that direction also.

Andrew
