The examples make up the majority of the front page, and it turns out
that google used some of these links in "sitelinks" in search result.
These links should be the main entry points, and we ended up having such
gems as "Printf" be there. They provide a way to "demote" URLS so they
won't show there, but doing that for one link means that another will
pop in (and there's a limit of a 100 such demotions). So add this in an
attempt to make it not consider them as things that can be used in the
sitelinks. This might be reverted if it doesn't help.
(Note that this is discouraged as a way to "sculpt pagerank", but the
purpose here is not to affect how they crawl the web pages and make page
reputation flow, but only to cover up for a missing feature that ends up
with horrible sitelinks. The pages are scanned anyway from the doc
pages.)
* The main page's title appears in search results, so use "The Racket
Language" instead of "Racket". Additional minor tweaks to a few more
titles to make them presentable as search results.
* Add a `#:description' keyword to make it easy to add it to pages. Add
such texts to the main page, downloads, community, learning, people,
and mailing list pages.
* Add a <meta name="robots" content="NOODP" /> to the front page, to
avoid getting the ODP (dmoz) blurb, hopefully the new and improved
description(s) will be used instead. (If not, this should be
reverted.)
* Add a reference from the community page to the bug reports page.
* Make it possible to subscribe to lists right from the community page.
Improve the email input boxes with placeholder text and a short
explanation on hovering.
Add a `resource/referrer' abstraction for referrers, on top of plain
resources. (When the referrer is `values', it just returns the plain
resource.) Also add `url-of' to replace `get-resource-path'.
Also get rid of the defunct "chronology" link at the bottom of the
community page. It was a very old (pre-svn/git) leftover from a time
where that was relevant for people who want to participate.
it much easier. Use this to move the button before the "Start Quickly"
header, making it show better in non-CSS text browsers.
Also, set a fixed height for the `slideshowframe' class, so the text
below it doesn't jump; rename `alts-panel' to `slideshow-panel';
and use `struct'; and more improvements.
necessary modules are now "all.rkt"s; "shard.rkt"s turn to
"resources.rkt".
Also, "navbar.rkt" changes to "all.rkt", since it was doing the same
thing (in addition to setting the navbar).
Ie, the difference between using it as a language and as a module is now
the same in both. Also, improve `scribble/html' (and
`scribble/html/htmllang') by reproviding most of the corresponding text
modules.
Change `meta/web' accordingly, and improve code by making a new langugae
(`#lang meta/web'). This language is similar to `scribble/html' except
that it uses the plain scribble reader (not the `-inside' one), it
doesn't use the customized module-begin feature (that uses
`output-xml'), and it adds all the relevant bits of `meta/web/common'.
(Also, "meta/web/common.rkt" is gone, since it's used only as a language
now.)
This commit has lots of details and binding games, so it's tricky, and
potentially caused some problems. (Took me a while to track many
breakages, so I won't be surprised if there are more.)
