Noticed this yesterday when I was going to download R14B02. Took me a minute to make sure I was on the right site...

Now I can't wait for them to update the online man pages. Something like redis.io documentation would be ideal. A console right there, shows the complexity of functions. I'd be so excited...

I'd be happy if they based the docs on erldocs.com - having a decent, live search is crucial.

Congratulation! Better look. Under Links->Erlang applications and projects, please consider to include Erlang apps such as Riak, RabbitMQ, CouchDB, ejabberd, Mochiweb, Webmachine and Zotonic.

These are awesome. I'm such a Erlang novice.

Heh, won't quite work since you used ~s for atoms, and also, mine is better because it's more flexible if you want to change the format of an opinion for a specific score range ;P

Are you sure?

Err if this is the new site. Shouldn't their "Getting Started" be on left? And then regular links for regular users on Right and top?

Wonder what logic they followed to design the new site.

Would be nice to see tryerlang.org integrated with the Quickstart section.

That big "e" in that color is giving me a bad association.
