Features

Good features:

• we can add groups
• we can add projects
• we can assign project to groups
• we can assign groups to project
• we can create custom pages
• we can make a group / project be hyperlink to another website (linkout)
• we cannot make sub-groups or sub-project (I think that makes our life much easier!)

Features that seem missing:

• can I customize logo per project/group?
• can I filter News and Output when inside project/group (I would expect: using group / project name as preset tag-filter)?
• are groups / projects also tags?

Layout

Major:

• The background is scrolling at a different speed than the text is very disoriating and it makes it this makes it difficult / annoying to read the text.

Normal:

• Why are 'news' and 'output' not the same. I would propose Output should be the 'blog'; news are blog items tagged as 'news'.
• Site is sluggish on iPad
• I don't really like the flashy video and black background, looks like a hacker website instead of a research portal (+3)
• The title video does not work on my iPad. Would be nice if there is some static alternative instead of a big black bar
• The background when using an iPad only updates half a second after stopping with scrolling.
• The title movie could be a bit more subtle. i.e. the particle things floating around could do this more slowly same holds for movements of the text
• A lot of scrolling is needed to view the page, even on high-res displays
• 'Video text' feels unnecessary, takes 30% CPU (of an i5) to render which slows down scrolling considerably
• Black/white contrast in header-middle-footer feels crude, as if the components don't belong together

Minor:

• Responsive layout is a bit 'schokkerig'
