A nominal landing page is now up at:
http://www.jalview.org/jalview-js/
I’ve added a (somewhat) discreet link on the website’s menu which I’ll advertise more widely when we’re all happy with the content.
Comments please !

Comments:
- should the first paragraph pitch this as the replacement for the Jalview applet - (nearly) full Jalview functionality without the need for Java?
- the big screenshot is a bit low res, could it be made clickable for a hi res image?
- not sure that the ‘history’ paragraph is needed here
- ‘active development’ might sound more cheerful than ‘heavy development’
- typo: mprogress for progress
- it confuses me that the links don’t look like links
- launch times look pretty good to me
- worth some words to describe what ‘Desktop’ and ‘Embedded’ signify?
- can we lose the verbose debug logging esp. “JSPopupMenuUI processing …”?
Why are we showing that console at all? Yes, those are out. I also fixed the issue with MenuListener, but have had time only to test that in my test suite. Will port that to Jalview and test today.
- “will appear here momentarily…” - is US usage that grates on me, I guess others may not care
Interesting. How about:
shall appear hear in a twinkling…
?

Thanks for the comments. Page rewritten.
Please bear in mind that this is basically a placeholder. As soon as we have a stable documented package, everything on this page will be about how to go about downloading, installing and developing JalviewJS.
I’ve carefully avoided talking about the Jalview applet in great detail. It’s really of only historical interest since this isn’t the applet. Saying ‘it runs in JavaScript in your browser’ says it all in my opinion. I do think it is important to explain the history of how JalviewJS has come about, though - but moved it to the bottom for Ben’s tl;dr; revision.
Bob - I have no idea how to get rid of the verbose log output. Obviously both the Desktop and Embedded pages need some work to make them more user-friendly - please fix everything up on the Jalview-JS/develop / demo branches.
Jim.
