Sorry for the rather late reply - but I personally find the new page
more confusing than the old one (surely this is mainly because I was
more familiar with the old structure, but partly because all the links
look the same in the new page)

What I miss:
* I could not find the links to the Issue-to-EIS page. 
* I really miss the issue-workflow chart(s)
  The new one doesn't really explain the states of the issue, the
  difference between "Fixed", "Verified" and "closed"

I dislike the component-specific pages. The main page has linksto
writer, calc, framework, etc.. These links don't have any info, just
make the entry-page longer and threw out the "really useful" (IMHO)
links. When you follow the Application-Links, all in turn look the same
again.

Structuring these sites the opposite way (not per Application, but by
Topic) would make much more sense to me.

(Have one "Responsibilities", "Open Issues", "Mission Statement"
category that lists the individual projects, instead of having "Writer",
"Spreadsheet", etc. that all list the same links - hope it is clear what
I'm trying to say)

I dislike as well: There is no "backward-navigation path". There's no
way to go "up" to the Write page starting from
http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/WriterTeamsite/ooQA-TeamWriterMS.html

(if you manually browsed to the site, you could use the browser's "back"
button, but that won't work if you got there by following a link or by
using site-search)

All-in-all I don't like the "list of links" style where you have to
follow three or four links to get to the real contents and have to start
over three or four times, because the pages you first visited did not
contain the info you were looking for.

ciao
Christian
