RE: [ZWeb] Re: [Zope] Come kick some tires, at new.zope.org
The total size for the EuroZope design is approx 26K. This is quite reasonable for even a slower connection. It is possible to design easy to use and nice looking web pages that are not slow. The new.zope.org is not great looking. It is fast though. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Penny To: zope@zope.org Sent: 10/11/2001 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [ZWeb] Re: [Zope] Come kick some tires, at new.zope.org To quote Opus "I object, I object, By Golly, I object". I visit zope.org nearly every day to 1) look for new product announcements 2) as a portal to the "Zope Exits" 3) for documentation 4) to download products Anything that slows those down is a _bad_ idea; and lots of graphics will do nothing but slow those down. Now... If you were to propose a "Am I hot" section where people could submit zope based websites for peer review/rating, (preferably multi-axis, perhaps pretty, functional, novel, etc.) then I would have no objection. But please leave zope.org very plain jane.

Just to clarify, when I talk about good design I DO NOT mean "lots of graphics". I mean simplicity, clean appearance, good usability, things are easy to find, pages respond quickly and work the way you expect them to, page content is useful and its intent is clear. Cheers, Tom P
