Hi there,
I am happy to announce that we have made progress with the zope.org relaunch project. The first public version of the new site is now available under
Some technical things I have noted for the site that would increase the site speed. The server does not seem to currently be gzipping the content this makes the page FAR larger then it should be. This is usually a trivial change on most webservers. Many of the resources like the javascript look like they have a unique key, if that is the case the expiration time and the cache-control maxage should be set WAY out in the future. When set far out in the future the browser will not even make a connection to see if the content has changed. If possible the images used in the css at least should also get some kind of versioned urls so they can also be cached indefinitely and just change the urls when the data changes. The page would also be faster and lower load if some of those stylesheets could be combined. You can get this information using yslow for firefox. Mostly I just want the site to run faster for new and returning users since the old site can be pretty slow at times and most of the changes should be fairly minor.
