refreshed website soft launched

[Jess Mitchell]

Hey All,

I just wanted to send a note out to let the list know that we "soft  
launched" the Fluid website today.
http://fluidproject.org/
Soft launched means we're still working on it, we know there are a lot  
of opportunities for improvement and we want feedback.

I want to thank Laurel, Erin, and Jacob for all their hard work on (in  
no particular order) creating, moving, and polishing the site.  I'd  
also like to encourage you to chew on this site with us, help us  
improve it, and give us a hand in doing that.  This is a great moment  
in Fluid for us all to have a web impact -- it's as simple as  
submitting ideas or code or chatting with the community about your  
ideas.

Ideas that we'd like to work on:
1. info architecture -- did we get it right?
2. jumping off the site -- we have a lot of links that bounce to other  
places -- how can we best handle that?
3. related to 2. how do we keep the website clean and light and not  
too deep and meaningfully link to the content in the wiki, where it is  
most updated?
4. I see a number of opportunities for Fluid components -- what a  
wonderful way to showcase our work!
5. I've made some effort to clarify what Fluid is and what our  
projects are -- is this clear?  (I'm sure it can be clearer).
6. code beautification -- it's time to iterate!  We're artists with a  
real interest in the aesthetic...  so we'll keep tweaking.

What else?

Best,

Jess
