Henrik, I am in complete agreement with John Klensin's three main
points. For me, though, the increased size of the page isn't the
problem. My issue with the new home page is that it is extremely
dense visually, and therefore it takes me a long time to cognitively
parse the screen in order to find what I'm looking for. The "dose"
frame completely overwhelms the left-hand frame with the tools link
that I want.
There is also the expectation that visiting 'tools.ietf.org' would
display the tools list.
I do like what the 'dose' page presents -- it's a very useful addition
-- but I think it is in the wrong location. It's my feeling that http://tools.ietf.org/
should display what is currently at http://tools.ietf.org/tools/ and
the Daily Dose e moved to http://news.ietf.org/.
Of course this can all be worked around with browser bookmarks, but
for a newcomer visiting tools.ietf.org for the first time, I very much
fear the current layout will simply drive them away when they don't
see anything close to what they were expecting to find.
