my opinions about web site revision:

the top page could look a lot like today. a wellcome with short background.
the navigation tabs are a good idea.
i do not think that the all benchmark tests as a list should be there on 
the left. it is too much information for a wellcome page. (imho)
neither do i think that the ''notes'' and ''other languages 
comparisons'' should be on this page. same reason.


the navigation tabs could do with a slight restructuring:
-introduction
  is good.

-languages
-implementations
  one of these could be removed, or renamed. i think they mean the same 
thing and get confused when ''implementations'' turns out to be all the 
test results for a language.

-documentation
  this tab leads to a good collection of things. the name is not 
obvious, but i have no other suggestion.

-news
-recent changes
  one of these could be removed, or renamed. the information currently 
found behind both could be handled in one place. imho.

-scorecard
  if there is an consensus (in the ietf sense, rough consesus and 
working code :-) i would like this to be a smaller set of tests that all 
languages can do. specialities (object orientation, etc) could be linked 
to from this page.

-mailing list
-wiki
  i think both of these deal with interaction and could be found under a 
single tab. name suggestion: ''community''

-alioth
  stange name for a good tab. name suggestion: ''administration' or 
''site''

some tabs are conspicous in their absence from this wellcome page. i 
would like them added:

-faq
-tests
  currently not needed since this information is overly emphesised 
(imho) in the list to the left.
-other links
  (unless found under ''documentation'')
