I think this is great. I think we should go live with this.

Ok, now I'm done. Because I didn't want to work on our live site, I've
done the latest modifications in
http://argouml-sequence.tigris.org
<http://argouml-sequence.tigris.org/>.
Features:
- 'Intelligent' download. Different downloads for each system. If
javascript is disabled, take the user to the downloads page.
- Smaller font size for news.
- Changed table layout for div based layout.
- Showing a link to the news if javascript is disabled (because the
widget needs javascript).
- Removed 'Commercial tools' section.
Layout tested in FF3, Chrome, Safari and IE7 under Windows, with
resolutions of 1280x800, 1024x768.
Download detector tested on Linux (Konqueror, FF), Windows (same as
above) and Mac (Safari).
Can we go live in http://argouml.tigris.org
<http://argouml.tigris.org/>? Any suggestion?
