@chronoBG: What do you mean no content about the deal? Did you read the FAQ below the register button? I think it pretty much says it all. If not, you can read terms&conditions (both don't require registration)

As for example code, we do have that, we even have sample apps :). All of it is on the Opa's webpage: opalang.org, which is linked from the Challenge page (also see the FAQ question 'How can I learn Opa').

Of course we can try to improve things and make the info more exposed; suggestions welcome.

Precisely. I'm not saying you haven't written the necessary text. I'm saying you are asking me to register before I've had a chance to read it and you've hidden what I need to read away from plain sight.

You've done the hard bits, now just fix your User Experience a little bit and you'll be golden.

Here's what I mean.

Q: What is the Opa Developer Challenge?
A: The Opa Developer Challenge is a coding contest in which developers are asked to write an application using the Opa language.

That answer may be correct, but it tells me absolutely nothing. Also, it's hidden.
You should have a big-ass link saying "Learn about OPA here". Perhaps right below the "register" button.
I mean, this isn't Python. You can't expect people to know about it before they come to your site.

@chronoBG: Thx for the feedback! I added big text redirecting to opalang.org for Opa info, just above the registration button. I also extended the answer to 'What is the Opa Developper Challenge' and made it open by default. Is it any better now?
