Hi Lenya devs,

here's another suggestion for the website layout (tested only on Firefox and Safari yet):

http://lenya.zones.apache.org/docu-preview-2/

This is great - I like the new layout.


A few feedbacks - just my personal taste.

A spontaneous action I just did (although I should have known better) was to click on "cross media publishing".

Yes, me too :)
I know this is a problem.

The Byline (a nice one - that points out lenyas strengths in the shortest possible way...) looked to me like a top navigation - possibly it's because I often layout like that myself (splitting top / sub navigations). Maybe it would help to less separate the byline from the logo?

Good idea. Another option might be to use bullets instead of pipes as separators.


The TOC on the right side is very handy - enhances the usability and optics. And the header / text moves starts right on top :-)


Colours:

A bit hard to tell what they really look like (my notebooks colours depend a bit on the angle I'm looking at the screen - grrr.).

The header is a kind of green-blue. I'm a bit color-blind, so I rather work with the numbers than with my eyes. Maybe someone else could take care of selecting the colors.

In general I prefer the blue tones over the light green ones

- navigation bgr could be a light blue-grey (e.g. #EFF6FF) (the one triggered by #main) and TOC background something similar
  (or even a light grey (e.g. #EEEEEE)
- The link colours to my taste drop out of the colour scheme (unstyled) - could be a darker blue variant for a:link and a even darker for a:visited

If possible, I'd suggest to adhere to the web standard colours here.

Layout in general:

I like the centered layout and the fine shadow.

I was wondering, if a fixed width (of ca 1000px) could make sense - it would give us more control over text flow - and might in some aspects be easier to handle too. WDYT?

I also thought about this, but it hurts a bit because all usability books I know say that a fixed with should be avoided whenever possible. OTOH, it really helps re. the images. What do the others think?
