* 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.)

Dear Prospective Graduate Student,
|
|
@|br br|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in working with PLT. We get several
|
|
inquiries every year from students interested in working with one or more
|
|
of us. We're flattered and, of course, interested in your applications.
|
|
Because you are more interested in PLT than in our specific institutions,
|
|
we have created the following common application form. By filling it in
|
|
once, you can automatically apply to all current PLT institutions.
|
|
@~ @|style: (box-style 1 "#bbbbbb")|@;
|
|
Yes, we know you don't like @place-names (circle those applicable). But
|
|
we like them, or we wouldn't be living there. Think about the message
|
|
you're sending by rejecting our choices. Moreover, we think very highly
|
|
of our colleagues—more highly than we think of your judgment in this
|
|
matter—so for your own good, we're going to forward your application to
|
|
them anyway.
|
|
@~ How many years have you programmed in Scheme?
|
|
@~ How many years have you programmed in Racket?
|
|
@~ If the two numbers above are not identical, justify.
|
|
@~ How many Racket Web applications have you written?
|
|
@~ What problems did you find with the Racket Web server in the process?
|
|
Please list bug report numbers.
|
|
@~ Which wheels did you inadvertently reinvent?
|
|
@~ Do you prefer your calculi Classic or Featherweight?
|
|
@~ Should types be intervals or ideals?
|
|
@~ In your opinion, which Barendregt proof has the highest hours spent
|
|
understanding-to-symbols ratio?
|
|
@~ Which is your favorite combinator?
|
|
@~ Thank you for your interest. Don't be a cat squandering the popcorn.

@p{Seriously, we @em{do} enjoy working with graduate students. If you are

inspired by the PLT project and want to drive the next generation of

innovation, you should strongly consider graduate study with us. We

look forward to hearing from you. All of us, no matter where we may
