I disagree. It doesn't seem all the bloated at all. I'm on a dialup |
2 |
connection right now, and the page loaded for me very quickly. I like |
3 |
the sleek look of the site, and the simple, yet elagant layout. |
4 |
|
5 |
Gentoo's current site is very utilitarian. I think that as the gentoo |
6 |
project has progressed, while it is still a very utilitarian |
7 |
distribution, it has started to recently gain a good deal of polish, |
8 |
and slowly it's become quite elagant. Right now, everything is |
9 |
becoming more flashy, and more eye-candy oriented. This isn't wrong; |
10 |
keep in mind that most people like eye-candy. However, I personally |
11 |
hate bloated eye-candy. (Try browsing hotmail on dialup, or even |
12 |
msn.com) I think this new website is a good balance between the demand |
13 |
for eye-candy and bloat. I honestly don't see a good deal of bloat on |
14 |
that site. Sure, you could argue that you don't need all the fancy |
15 |
graphics, but by that logic, all graphics could be seen as bloat. |
16 |
Remember, text loads very fast ;). |

|
18 |
So, my opinion is that the current design is very nice. |
19 |
|
20 |
On a side note... what's the current progress level of the website |
21 |
redesign? Need any help? |
