Hi Chris et al,
Yes ... the space between sections is annoying. I'm not sure how to
fix that, but feel free to play with the repo and see if you can work
it out. I don't really mind having it be mobile friendly. :) (I
recently added a few things to reason to make it more mobile friendly,
for what that's worth ...)
I've gone ahead and deployed. Thanks for the thumbs up, everybody! I
am really pleased with how it's looking, too. Hopefully this will
help attract contributors as well as put our best foot forward.

The website looks great. +1
I do have a little bit of worry along the lines of Stephen's: the gaps can be a bit annoying/confusing if you are viewing the page on a smaller screen. For example, I first looked at the new page on my phone, and it looked like a terrible waste of space if I were just to scroll through it. Then again, if someone is seriously considering using this piece of software they probably aren't viewing the webpage on a mobile device... Not sure what can be done about this outside of moving to separate pages. It's only a minor quibble, so probably not worth the trouble.

Okay -- let's plan on not having a release before the end of June. If
I get a chance before I leave I will work a bit on documentation, but
I'd like to take Cameron up on his offer of writing some docs for
Reason and if he and Casey want to coordinate on a screencast of how
to use Reason (in the neighborhood of 30-90 seconds) that would be
awesome. I've filled out tickets for these items:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/288/reason-should-be-documented
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/291/reason-screencast
And as a reminder, the open tickets for 2.2 are listed here -- please
feel free to comment or add more information. Anyone who has push
privs to the repo can update and modify existing tickets, and anyone
can fill out new tickets.
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues?status=new&status=open&milestone=2.2
(for the rest: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues?status=new&status=open
)
For the website, sounds like it's getting thumbs up, so I'm going to
put it up on the front page sometime before I leave, maybe even later
today. Speak now or forever ...?

I don't have any time to help out with the yt 2.2 release goals before the
end of the month. I could help in July if we want to push the release date
back.

Matt,
2) A few of us have created a prototype of a new website:
Just some comments, and then I'll give my opinion on the design.
I think it's bad form to put shortened URLs on a webpage, in
particular the one for "GET YT". Either put the full URL (which is
long in this case to the install_script.sh) or something descriptive
like 'Download install_script.sh'.
I've removed it. It was also redundant with the "Get yt" section header.
Having the single-page CSS scrolling is fine, but I don't think the
gaps between the sections are necessary. To some extent, those gaps
assume that the user can see the entire text in each section. When
they can't, they'll start scrolling down, and then they'll discover a
big gap between sections, which is odd. The converse is true too - if
the text is too short, then there's a big gap, which is odd, again.
Hmm, I'm not sure about this. I kind of like it. If you want to hack
away at it, though, feel free.
Overall I like it, I think it looks pretty sharp.
Me too; I think it was the right one to choose.
Anybody else have any suggestions on the website?
3) I am going on vacation starting sometime between June 29 and July
3, and I will be gone until at least July 23rd.
Take lots of pictures!
I surely will. :)
