[MITgcm-devel] new MITgcm website

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Jeff,

I agree with you, the testing page needs some work.

Otherwise, 
1) I think the "video" page is good (for those who are too lazy to search for).
2) I have few issues regarding the content of the "contact" page:
 a) I found the wording confusing: what is the "MITgcm mailing list" (at the top)
 and how different is it from the support list ?  
 b) I strongly recommend not to mention "MITgcm-support at mitgcm.org" without
 writing explicitly that one has to >>> SUBSCRIBE <<< before sending anything there
 (yes, I have to deal with all these messages). Right now, this is not very clear.
 c) What is the purpose of this short list of people for "MITgcm development team" ?
 Just ot have the most (and by far) helpful guy in the business 
 to get frustrated not to be in ? I meant Martin, of course.
3) I would like to get more feedback regarding how to cite MITgcm.
 It's good that you pointed to the zenodo ref (in doc page) for the manual,
 but may be we could improve a bit this part ? needs feedback here.
4) The main and major issue (from my point of view): I thought that by hitting "PUBS" 
 I would get directly to CBC ! very, very disappointed !
 
Cheers,
Jean-Michel
