I made it orange to highlight it.  Based on some conversations I had with
some UX folks, we made the assumption that most people coming to the site
either want to download the latest build, or find out what the heck Flex
is.  Highlighting the download menu in orange draws the eye there, and the
big rotating banner draws people to it to find out what Flex is about.

Didn't think about that, but sure.  Should be pretty easy to do.

Should we?  Yes.  Can we?  That is a good question.  The CMS that we have
to use through Apache is VERY limited.  You can't do shared or common
resources, you can't do replacement strings, and we are limited to
pre-compiled pages only.  We could make a complete copy of the site to
internationalize it, but we would then be keeping multiple copies of all
the text around.  US English was chosen because that is my native tongue.
 If anybody wants to contribute (in SVN) ways to make it a bit more
"standard" that would be great.

We are relying on the RSS feed Twitter provides and a JavaScript library
that they provide to bring them in and display them on the page.

All of the fonts and sizes are responsive, so users can increase or
decrease the size with no penalty to the experience.  I choose 1em for most
areas, and .9ems for the rest of the text.

On purpose.  At one time, it faded in when you moused over it, but I may
have broken that.  I'll check it out.

Fixed.

Not easily.  It kinda bothers me too, but in order for them to be
responsive and look right everywhere (including font size changes), they
need to be floating...

De-emphasized them so they are regular links again.

That is primary because they are also headers.

Yes.

Forgot about those.  Fixed.

Fixed.

This came from the bootstrap stylesheet, and is consistent with the other
pages too.  Let me see what I can do to fix it.

Same font, just bigger.

I think we can keep the generic mug shots, but we may want to change the
profile.  I want to keep some text there so people know what to edit,
but....

Style Sheet issue

I think that is because I used the default h4 tag from the CMS rather than
the custom one from the style sheet.  Should be fixed now.

Yup.  When I was putting this together, the archives were messed up.  Do
you happen to know the direct link I can use?

I think Om put that on there.  I don't think it's bad, but the highlight
should be the old SDK versions, I think.
