Yes -
the very same page absolutely no one ever visits, uses, or even thinks is relevant in the community.
I've been thinking of redesigning it if for no other reason than to make it mobile-friendly, but I was thinking of soliciting ideas from others about what they'd want to see on it. Mostly I am looking for opinions on style, but if anyone has any strong opinions on features I will welcome those, too.
The main reason why I haven't changed the front page is because I rather like the style that it already has - it's very reflective of DRD Team and in my opinion, gives it its identity. (And I think Grubber is a good page designer.
)
But it's been at least a decade and - well, times change. Much as we all love clinging to the past, there are issues with the page that make it less compatible with modern (especially mobile) browsers.
My goal isn't to dump 2000 lines of Javascript code in from some unknown source and say "hey look cool we got menus that animate!". I just want it to be something that someone can, say, look at on their phone, and immediately go to any relevant page without too much issue. (If you were to try it now you'd get a zoomed out version of the page, which doesn't look terribly bad but it is unreadable)
