Hi Geoff,
I think it looks really good - nice and clean, and easy to navigate.
Having said I think the front page is possibly a little too sparse and some
more pictures showing avogadro in action, or just some flashy rendering
would probably add something.
I noticed one issue. On the tutorials page (
http://avogadro.github.io/tutorials/) if I hover over the first
"Tutorials:Getting started" link, clicking on it (it links
to"tutorials:Getting started") doesn't do anything. There's another
Tutorials:Getting started" link further down which does work and links to
http://avogadro.github.io/tutorials/getting_started.html
I also don't get to the paper when I click on the "The Avogadro Paper" link
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1758-2946-4-17).
Best wishes,
Jens
