I was talking about the impressions that the official site gives to non expert.
> Erlang may need better marketing, but as a person from the community, I'd like to hear what I could do. "Just do it better" is hard to build on, I guess. It's reminiscent of "make the logo pop more" for designers.
Didn't notice that my suggestions were so vague, sorry. I'd say
- avoid all the empty pages like http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/index.html or http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/index.html
- remove the folders icons and use something else, or at least update the icons
- clearly separate functions, either having more empty space between each one of them or using subtle colors or lines or whatever
- use different text styles for functions and arguments or some sort of syntax highliting
That said I'm not a designer, I'd ask one for help.
