I saw it via Reddit. Since the dlang.org website has been under 
discussion on this forum, I thought I would bring it up:

https://www.rust-lang.org/faq.html
https://www.rust-lang.org/

I admire the clean, modern look, simple colours and focus on 
what's important. The content is very good and "full". Arguably, 
this is better than even Python's website. I think they've taken 
the "run code here" idea from dlang.org though :)

The redesigned dlang.org website by "anonymous" is a huge step 
forward, so much praise and honour to her/him for doing that.

I agree. I said: I think the homepage should be clean, with few 
text and a big button to download.

I think on dlang homepage (both proposed and old) there are too 
much things ("informations") that disorient visitors. And they 
scare them. You should not to confuse them  with a lot of 
informations.

OK. How do I contribute to the design? I will run away if I have 
to go through a long process b4 i can do that:) Such simple 
design can be done in a day and even make it responsive.

In the end someone will have to make a successful pull request against 
the dlang.org git repository. That means cloning the repository, 
applying your changes, and pushing through review. When the changes are 
non-trivial, it means being/getting familiar with Ddoc and the other 
stuff that's used in the dlang.org code.

There's a wiki page about all that:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Contributing_to_dlang.org

You can very meaningfully contribute without doing all that yourself, 
though. An HTML+CSS mockup goes a long way. It can be discussed, 
approved/rejected, and if you're not willing/able to do the actual 
dlang.org code, maybe someone else takes it on. That's exactly how the 
current push for the red-top-bar redesign came about.
