I agree. The only thing he says about Mercurial is "I've used it some, and found it to be incredibly pleasant." That doesn't tell me anything. This could potentially be quite interesting to someone like me who has used a DVCS, Git in my case, only a handful of times, but instead it ends up as anecdotal.

I agree. It definitely needs to get down to one page. I'm not sure if it was by design, but the page I saw was just a bunch of plain text on the screen with no text wrapping. The service might be great, but to an uninformed user it might look like there's something wrong with the site, causing him to leave without reading. Based on the title alone, I expected to have some sort of interaction with the site itself, I didn't realize that my only interaction would be via email. Great idea, and a great home page will help it appeal a wider audience.

I think the purpose is pretty clear, but it would be nice to have an actual demo instead of just screen shots. One thing that seemed a bit off to me was inconsistent capitalization: "missionary" is sometimes capitalized and sometimes not (I would suggest that it not be capitalized) and the sentence at the top (Share your Missionary's Photos, Experiences and More with your Friends and Family!) seems like it it's too long to have most of the words capitalized. I think it'd be easier to read in all lowercase.

I agree with patio11 on the lightbox effect, but I still think it needs some sort of tour or demo instead of just screenshots. I visited a similar site recently (not for missionaries, but for high school graduating classes), and I'm leery of creating an account here just because that site had poor usability and about ten pages for registration.

I agree. While I like that YouTube EDU has lots of classes, it just doesn't match Academic Earth for the organization. YouTube EDU seems to rely more on search, but Academic Earth has a well-structured taxonomy that makes more sense to me in an academic setting. With more sites out there like this, this should only increase the bar so that we end up with better resources.

It can do a dual display setup. Click on "compare" then on "complete specs" (2/3 of the way down) on the page for the Mac Mini here:
