I made a basic website for Open Turing and the Turing language in general. It doesn't have much content on it right now though.

What else should it have? Any recommended changes?

Very nice website.

The only thing I can think of at the moment that could be added is a method of contacting you (i.e. your email address or a separate email address) or a comments section where people can post their questions/comments. I realise that you have a link to this forum, but personally I think it would be good if people could contact you through the website alone (don't remove the link to Computer Science Canada though).

Other than that, the site looks complete for the most part.

Nice site! Looks like you took my suggestion after all Very Happy
I think the site is nice, simple, and adequate to get your message across.

EDIT: Did you make the whole site yourself? Some of the commenting looks generated (and the CSS). Still a nice site though!

Looks like Twitter's Bootstrap framework.

Bootstrap 2.0 in fact! I started using it one day before it was released. I live on the bleeding edge Razz

Well thanks! I have been living on Notepad++ and reading countless lines of code on sites that look good until today. Sad

Before bootstrap I had to Google "free css templates" before making a site. The other thing I learned about design is http://zachholman.com/posts/slide-design-for-developers/

In meme standard form:
I used to be a bad designer, but then I took a Yanone Kafeesatz to the typography.
