julialang / www.julialang.org Goto Github PK

From here: https://julialang.org/downloads/nightlies.html
clicking the windows builds hangs indefinitely, in the sense that it just does nothing.

As you can see, even though I have clicked on "community", the Home section is highlighted. This holds true for all sections.

One of the things to be done on the new website is the Benchmarks page. I think the benchmarks no longer need to be on the front page themselves, but should be linked from there.

When I click on the [help] links on the download page, I just get to the top of the explanation page, rather than the appropriate section.

I removed all the jumbotron links and the tag line after discussions with various folks, to make it simple.

I think the github star button should perhaps be centred now.

@essenciary Could you help?

@ViralBShah I forgot about this, but the main image was inspired by:

What's a good place to add the attribution?

Needs the new updated styling.

We definitely want Jupyter/Jupyterlab in the editors.

@essenciary Do you think we can update the Visualization pane to have 3 parts? A picture, some code that produces it, and text?

The feedback was that we should show some code fragments, and this seems like the best place to do it.

I want to like the language, but once I land on their home page, I don't seem to know where I can play with the language.

From HN

The pkg.julialang.org site is fairly static and not as interactive as people will expect. Julia Observer gives the impression of activity and gives users a way to browse and search packages, so I would suggest that.

I somehow didn't notice the fact that the otherwise-lovely homepage revamp has completely removed all Julia code from the landing page. We need to have some example of actual Julia code on that page. It would be good to brainstorm what a good bit of example code would be.

I notice that the jumbotron image is always loaded and takes some time to show up. And it is slower to show on slower connections. Shouldn't it get cached and show up instantaneously?

I suggest the online tutorial list be ordered with the latest at the top.
The Intro to Julia tutorials that do not have links should just be removed from the list.

Is this page automatically generated or should I just edit it?

I see the scientific domain mentioned quantum computing, but... however, I guess Yao.jl is the only Julia package that is able to simulate/run an arbitrary quantum circuit at the moment (It was designed to do this job). Another library BBN-Q/Cliffords.jl is also for quantum computing.

QuantumOptics like is described as it is, is for open quantum systems. I was wondering if your guys want to add it to quantum computing with QuantumOptics or just change quantum computing to quantum physics or something, cause this is quite misleading... In python community, they have OpenFermion, ProjectQ which will use quantum circuit for quantum algorithms, if you want to mention quantum computing.

The links to the source with and without dependencies are broken.
e.g. the source with dependencies link is

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/download/v0.6.3/julia-0.6.4-full.tar.gz

it should probably be

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/download/v0.6.4/julia-0.6.4-full.tar.gz

As discussed here I think it would be really nice if we included the julia-vim and julia-emacs in the editors/IDE's section. These packages are both well-maintained and work very well.

Has come out pretty badly, e.g..

A bunch of these posts still get a lot of views, so it'd be worth having them look nice.

When I navigate to the page my eyes immediately skip all the content to look at the moving visualization. Perhaps it shouldn't be the default tab? Or it could be further down the page?

"C implementation"

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/test/perf/micro/perf.c#L126

no longer works. I could make a PR to non-master 0.6, or do you want to link to the new "benchmark" repository that was excised?

Need to figure out a good place to either display or link to benchmarks

New site is pretty.

Not quiet 100% of information from
https://github.com/JuliaLang/www_old.julialang.org/blob/master/ecosystems/index.md
has made it across.

For example that big list had links to all the Chatrooms, forums, facebooks, etc etc for all the localization efforts.
New localization page only links to github orgs, or websites.
Most of those websites do then have links to the other communication channels so maybe that is OK.
On the other hand @ViralBShah's comment here
about making a PR to this repo, to link to the Chinese discourse, is not possible.
(or at least would look out of place without the others.)

The other thing the ecosystems page had was a big list of all the orgs,
and all there chat rooms etc.
Some of that has made it into the new ecosystems pages.
But not all of it.

The github orgs are a big way of guiding people to packages -- it is a proxy for stability and compatibility.
Having that would help address this concern raised on discourse

On the other hand the orgs list does become out-dated, chatrooms can become disused etc.
And the huge list is huge.

I still think it has some value that we want preserve.

Maybe there could be a "More Info" link behind the new fancy pretty ecosystems page?

For the Ecosystems content, I need some help. I need:

1. A picture/plot
2. Some code
3. Explanatory text

May I request:
@StefanKarpinski For the General slide
@quinnj for Data Science
@ChrisRackauckas For Scientific domain
@simonbyrne for mathematics
@andreasnoack for computing (parallel)

This is the biggest missing thing to complete the new website design.

There's a footer at the bottom page with content that needs to be updated. What do you think of:

Download:
Link 1: Julia v0.7.0-beta
Link 2: Julia v0.6.4

Documentation:
Link 1: Language documentation
Link 2: ?

Packages:
Link 1: Package List (pkg.julialang.org)
Link 2: Package Ecosystem Pulse (https://pkg.julialang.org/pulse.html)

Link 2: Discourse

Need a suggestion for second link in Documenatation. @ViralBShah ?

Hard to tell that you shouldn't click on the top entries in each column.

The QuantEcon link on the learning page is broken.

I wanted to do a PR but I really can't find where in the source is the Ecosystem / Scientific Domains tab... I mean the new one:

I wanted to do a PR that aftter e.g. quantum optics has "nonlinear dynamics (JuliaDynamics)".

When I'm on the downloads page itself, the links go to e.g. https://julialang.org/downloads/downloads/index.html.

in the technical section(languagefeatures.html) it reads "natrual" instead of "natural"

edit: i also found these:
in the packages section theres "the the"

Below is a screenshot from our blog:

It would be nice to have the Julia code syntax highlighted.

This is what it looks like on my computer:

I think perhaps if the image was re-rendered at the size it will be displayed at, the text would be clearer?

When you click the Download or Community tabs, the Home tab remains highlighted.

@essenciary How do we prevent the different ecosystem tabs on the homepage from resizing the view there as we switch from one to the other?

There's a tiny glitch in the splash image (https://github.com/JuliaLang/staging.julialang.org/blob/master/v2/img/splash-img.png) which keeps catching my eye.

I decided to see if I could improve the image while keeping everything more or less the same.

The markers are now evenly spaced, which is less obtrusive...

The code for making this is here... :)

Here is a snip from the chrome web tools, sorted by size:

If relevant: using Chromium/Chrome on x86_64 linux.

The three graphic elements illustrating Data Visualization are one too many -- the flat colorized back and forthing one should go, three of them all moving is hard on the stomach and with two there, each is easier to appreciate.

maybe ask luxor.jl to use a very much smaller

Clicking on the IDE icons links to http://staging.julialang.org/ instead of the relevant IDE websites. Also, the Jupyter logo is bigger than the other two which looks weird since the text links aren't aligned.

e.g. when I click on Download or Community, Home stays highlighted.

go to the website and the page loads but never stops "transferring data from i.ytimg.com"
that cannot be right

@essenciary - Requesting your help on the Google Analytics and Donate Now Javascript.

They are in _layouts/common.html in the current website.

The bold font weight pushes letters close together and makes them harder to distinguish. Perhaps "Futura LT Medium" would be a better choice than "Futura LT Bold"?

It is hard to read text that is both ragged right and ragged left. Under "Julia in a nutshell" the topic descriptions would be nicer formatted differently/
