Suggested edits to rakudo.org about rakudo.org HOT 3 CLOSED

FWIW, once the perl6.org update is completed (2-4 months) to make it more apt at conveying the distinction between the language and implementations, rakudo.org's content is planned to be subsumed by perl6.org and it'll become just a forwarding domain.

So I wouldn't fret too much about tiny details of the current site as it'll be wiped out soon-enough.

But if anyone got time to make the described modifications, go for it.

Going over this ticket, some of the issues have been dealt with, some were obviated by the rename to Raku. Here's outstanding issues that I think are left:

• Change "a collection of modules from the Perl6 ecosystem" to a "specific set of ...", that way the reader is not under any illusion he/she might be able to do the selecting of modules for Star.

Easy fix, this makes sense

• Add Feature : on a level with the "Downloads" title, across the page, insert a counter till the next Rakudo Star release, why? because I'd be slightly disappointed to install Perl6 and then find I could have waited a day. Something along the lines of "next official Rakudo Star release [20##.##] - (2 months [or] 3 weeks [or] 5 days) from now".

To do this well, we'd need to have a fixed release schedule, which we don't currently have.

• The "#Perl6 IRC" button should spawn another tab in the browser, rather than taking me away from the rakudo.org site

Easy fix.

• rakudo.org's content is planned to be subsumed by perl6.org and it'll become just a forwarding domain.

Is this still planned?

Chat on IRC indicates that the plan to convert site to a redirect is no longer on the table. Closing this ticket, thank you for the suggestions, sorry about the delay. If you have items you'd still like to see resolved, please open a new ticket (and link back to this one.)

Thanks.
