Hi, thank you for all your hard work, I really appreciate it. Firstly, it seems that the website SSL certificate expired or something. At my latest Chromium reports "Not secure". Secondly, I totally understand that there are more pressing issues than cool website, but the current design and functionality is IMO really putting people off. So I am going to through away some things which seems weird to ME (and I understand it's subjective - please take it as a friendly feedback). The jQuery versions suggests November 2012, the design idea seems even older... There are old information such as "*We are soon releasing a beta supporting Python 3.3." *or the fact that the donations bars are still present even though they are closed (and hence could be moved into some blog post). Blog is also terrible, this is how it renders on my laptop (the same with the external display): https://imgur.com/a/qkjEa . The logo could be surely polished as well (I like the idea, but it seems a bit childish). Even though I am not professional front end developer, I am quite confident this feedback is not far from what a professional would say. It's also not about having "cool" website for itself, but that a nice projects attracts good people. I myself am questioning how good, from technical point of view, Pypy's project can be if the site looks like like it does and the most convenient way how to reach the devs is through mailing list... Best, Daniel
I've ping'd the infra team about the cert. Alex On Wed, Dec 27, 2017 at 4:35 PM, Kotrfa <kotrfa@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Kortrfa I've even paid for a design of new pypy logo that we can use on the new website :-) Maybe it's a good time I spend some effort upgrading it. Thanks for the reminder, it's something that's on our heads, but it's not like we can just hire someone to do it for us.

Hey, as I said, I am not a professional, but I would be willing to help with the site. I have built couple of websites in Django/Wagtail (or plain HTML), have some basic knowledge about design (+ frontend CSS/JS/HTML). The site seems quite simple, so if we just did a revamp, it shouldn't take a long. Also, if we went with Wagtail, adding blog capabilities would be also trivial.

Hi Kotrfa. Great, we would definitely appreciate some help. I have very sketchy internet till next week, maybe we can coordinate something next week on IRC? What timezone are you in? Best regards, Maciej Fijalkowski On Sat, Dec 30, 2017 at 9:41 AM, Kotrfa <kotrfa@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, I am based in Prague (UTC+2), but during January, I am travelling and hence I am not very available. It should get better during February, so could we schedule a Hangout/Skype call or something then? Also, depending on the volume of the work on the site, I may not be able to work on it before July. But have no problem if someone else want start on it themselves and I can join :-) ... But I believe I could find some time before then for simple redesign.
