I think the Web site's page on research/publications could use improvement.

I just went to point a PL researcher to PLT publications, after we were
talking about selecting a platform for PL research, and it sounded like
they thought Racket was mostly an educational platform. (I know that
PLT is well-regarded within PL research circles, but maybe not known
universally, to all new-ish researchers.)

The "research" links on the Web site home page lead to:
http://racket-lang.org/learning.html

Suggestions for that page:

* Maybe move "PLT Technical Reports" from the top of the list, to the
bottom. Or separate it out from refereed publications list(s).

* Consider having the Web site include a list of featured publications:
most noteworthy overall, and possibly also latest and/or selected ones
for each author.

* Consider having the Web site serve a unified database of publications
from all the PLT universities.
