Flat navigation (a list of styles) is known to work well for docs. Wikis and "high level trees" eventually turn into something that is very hard to navigate. One extra click may make a different for an online store but for an OSS project documentation site it's OK to have it. That said, we are open to hearing from people who are actual interaction designers. > > 2. The advertisement page to me, has two purposes: > I. Provide motivation for the CDS > II.

We can change font size or line heights and see how it goes, as long as things are still readable on smaller screens. In general, styling *right now* is way less important than adding content. -- MK http://github.com/michaelklishin http://twitter.com/michaelklishin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
