+1 Another visual issue (IMO) is that our current tutorial seems pretty squished due to the right hand column taking up a lot of space. http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html A quick measure shows that the content is only getting about 59% of the width of the page (on my monitor w/ chrome at least). I assume maybe it needs to take up a lot of space because of the Latest SVN, Latest JIRA, Latest Dev, Latest Solr User, #solr sections? Ignoring the fact that those sections don't even work on the tutorial page, I'm not sure they should be on the front page either. They look kind of visually messy, with much of the content overflowing into the gray area. Those things could be confined to the news page perhaps... Another minor improvement would be to make the link text stand out more (brighter blue). On my monitor, the tutorial links are pretty hard to pick out. -Yonik lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
