A couple minor observations:

Trac frequently crashes for me with a Python stack-trace when I click 
the "Development" link. (Unfortunately, this is not uncommon with the 
live CS Trac either.) When it works, though, it is nice having Trac so 
well integrated with the rest of the site.

After clicking on a screenshot on the main page, and then clicking on 
the actual image on the following page, a page is presented saying "You 
are not authorized to access this page". (I am not signed in.)

Somewhat serious: The Home / About / Download / Documentation / 
Community menu overwrites the Wiki / Forums / Development menu at the 
top of the page when viewed in the browser in "normal" window mode (not 
"maximized"). Perhaps the menu line should be placed below the site 
logo, thus moving the Home / ... / Community menu to the left. 
Alternately, perhaps one or the other menu can wrap to a second line as 
needed? Alternately, perhaps the Wiki / ... / Development menu can be 
moved up a bit?

Andres should be able to provide you with a login.

One note: The existing website has tens of thousands of bogus users 
created by spambots. We don't want to transfer all those users to the 
new site. Perhaps it would make sense to query the existing forum 
database and only transfer users who have made actual forum posts. On 
the other hand, we also have had a significant number of spam posts in 
the forum. Perhaps starting the user database from scratch would make sense.

The previous discussion ended with some sort of consensus [1][2] that 
the umbrella project would be called "Crystal Space 3D". The so-called 
engine is then best represented as "Crystal Space SDK", and CEL remains 
CEL "Crystal Entity Layer".
