Product launch effect? They're a language standards committee, not a company. The entire online world already uses their product. What search capabilities are

  It's a product, and they've just launched it. The fact that they aren't a for-profit company is not really relevant. Nobody uses the product right now, and by product I mean the TS39 website. And assuming that one of the purpose of the website is to be used they'll want the site to have traffic and traction or it's just a waste of effort. Product launch can have a very big effect on future traffic - that means that many people are exposed to the site, and if it proves useful they might also start using it. As it stands no one is going to return to this site instead of going directly to the github account. "What search capabilities are you hoping for that are currently missing? " At the top of the hat, searching for specs in different stages? or by topic, or date. Without search the site can't be a location for discovery, and since it has no new content, it isn't a consumption website either. If you look at it, its basically a glorified landing page. Not something that is useful for the majority of its audience, I believe.

    A websites doesn't have to be a product. It can just be... an informational website. Not everything that goes on the internet needs to be hyperoptimized.
