[Haskell-community] Design Proposal for Haskell.org

[David Deutsch]

Replying to myself here - Since Gershom kindly went ahead with pushing 
the release live, I thought I'd open another issue on github concerning 
outstanding issues that the new design might have introduced: 
https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/issues/165

I would prefer it if people could either post further 
findings/suggestions there or at least reference replies they've made 
here in a comment so I can keep track of them.

best regards,
David
