Glad to see they are now supporting Scala 2.8 but...
what happened to their website? I seem to recall a vastly different appearance before. If the look of the Lift website is an indicator to first time visitors of the quality of the framework, I wonder how many visitors don't get beyond the initial landing page.
Here's what I noticed immediately in about a minute:
-Not a lot of contrast for colors to help material stand out
-Lack of contrast leads to difficult reading on tired eyes and I'm only 30 something
-Page balance - Small main content area compared to long running side panel
-The quote box just looks ... meh
-No favicon
-The icons of the groups/companies using the framekwork appear to have a lot of artifacts in them
I really like Scala but this site redesign is probably not helping win new users to the framework.
