Nice suggestions. Thanks. I especially like the suggestion to group courses.

My logo is actually from Seth Godin's ebook on Tribes.

I plan to add more free book links. Would like to request HN readers to suggest some.

Study groups is a wonderful idea. I have thought about this, but could not figure out, what I can add to a study group, which does not already exist in a mailing list. Can you give some suggestions please?

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions. I totally agree about the bad design. Actually this is my improved design :-)

I will continue to work on the design and make it better...

Thanks for your suggestions. I really appreciate them.

I wanted to do this project from scratch (instead of using WordPress or Drupal), because I felt that down the line, it would be easier to add features which might not align well with an existing CMS type of system. Right now this website is implemented in Django and Python.

Another motivation was, it would help me learn some design skills.

I agree that while re setting everything to WordPress will give the website a much more professional look, I would still like to do it myself, if only for the learning experience.
