1) Text are in image and in html if you see the code. Text in image is good for general aspect since standard web fonts are poor (I'm waiting for css3). This is really common to do this. Typography is the key / Aliased text display depends on your screen (jpeg). This the small price to pay to compress the image. I think to improve it later . Jpeg : 10ko full quality : 16ko. Any help is appreciated anyway :) 2) We had indeed same design as archlinux.org. We also used part of the code (and we still used). But to be honest this design isn't very attractiv nor modern. A little too rigid. I thought to give some fresh air to this look. So I keep archlinux colors and then put this new look. Some fixes need to be done yet, but first reactions to this look are quite good and I don't think to go back except if good argument is given of course :) Why do all the country website have to keep the same design ? Or maybe they have ? Maybe there should be one website translated in different languages. ? I don't know . I think it could be the perfect time to discuss about it between all archlinux language community website (http://archlinux.org/moreforums/), isn't it ? Maybe we could find a better way to organize themselves to spread archlinux around. Are you ok to organize a meeting some day on irc (or jabber) ? Please, tell me.
