"Ta page est nulle parce qu'elle est pas compatible avec mon browser programmé en 1870"

I'm agree with Farzad : this site is not disturbing according to 2009's web
standard.
Javascript is now and more and more a natural part of a webpage, I don't
undertand why some dinosaurs want to continue to avoid it, or others thing
like prefering lynx to a normal browser.

I'm agree on
-  We don't need logo scrolling

about your position, I propose you to read that :

And particularly the section *"LES LINUXIENS"*

>
>
> First, I think Javascript should NOT be required for the Lisaac website.
> Why ?
>
> Because some people (like me) don't allow JavaScript globally and only

>
> I don't say not to use Javascript, just not make it mandatory for the
> website.
>
>
>
> Now, if I do enable Javascript, I find the front page too much animated.
> All those effects are nice but get in the way of the user in the end.
> And it also from my point of view it gives a childish appearance to the
> website. It makes me remember of all those website that included too
> much JavaScript (back when JavaScript was a novelty).
>
> What I think should be removed:
>
> - The logos scrolling. You really don't care about them most of the time
> and it draw your eyes to this area.
>
> - The animation on the menus is pretty disturbing to me. i much more

> doesn't have a menu. Again, it draw your eyes to the expanding corner of
> the menu where there is nothing interesting instead of the content of
> the menu. So, for a millisecond, you are busy trying to focus on a
> moving menu.

> problem as the two points I mentioned above. But without Javascript,
> it's like mess. I think it would be much better to create a bullet point
> list allowing the user to see what happened. Fading news are nice but
> you don't know which is first, which is last. And you end up not reading
> them at all. Also, when yyou click on an arrow to show the next/previous
> news, you have to wait for the news to appear, and the impatient visitor
> won't wait for that long. And, is that normal the news always end with
> "..."?
>
> - In comunity -> Team, I don't think we should have a fancy view at all.
> Especially if it plays sound (that's annoying) and especially if it's
> the only way to access more detailled information about team members
> (photo, CV, ...). Again, this doesn't help with the professional image
> of the website.
>
>
> Now, other things:
>
> - The poll, is that really useful? I don't say it's not, but...
> - Why cares how many people are visiting the website? This is not a
> comunity website (like a forum) where we might want to out friends online.
> - If you ask me, the second wallpaper shouldn't be on the official
> website. I understand why guys might like it, but please, not here. Your
> personal website is fine for that.
> - Documentation -> Library. There should be a note to tell people
> they're not going to stay on the website. They don't except to be thrown
> directly in the library browser.
> - The top of the webpage says "The power of simplicity at work for you".
> The reflection is a bit too much I think and doesn't help reading the
> text. Perhaps it could be softened.
>
>
>
> Now, i do realize this email might sound like a lot of critics, and

>
> If I should ask for a feature in that website, I would ask for the

> care). Preferably, without having to use a web interface (I just hate
> web interface). I do prefer plain old protocols like ssh or rsync.
