I think the new pharo website could be improved by the addition of two new pages.
Firstly, the site badly needs a "Success Stories" page. The old web site had one of these so presumably that can be added easily. You have to show newcomers that pharo can be used for something real. Look at the/ meteor/ website https://www.meteor.com/main. Meteor isn't even at version 1.0 yet but already boasts a impressive gallery of applications.
100% agreed. The first steps would be to harvest a list of success stories One visual + one paragraph
Secondly, a list of all the packages in the Configuration Browser with a proper description of what they do would be helpful. It would give newcomers the idea that pharo is a comprehensive solution to their development needs.
We started to build that https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoProjectCatalog/HTML_Report/? Now we requested fundings for building it and we did not get it.
it also would provide newcomers with some kind of guide to the pharo ecosystem - how is anybody supposed to know what Aconacqua or Chalten is meant to do? Pharo has quite an impressive list of add-ons in the configuration browser but what's the point if no one knows what they do? Now ask yourself how you can help Pharo because we are really busy.
