Hi Matthew, Looks good. Making good progress.
> I DO think that the developer version should be accessible from the > front page. But this page won't come up until we're close to the 2.0 release anyways. There won't *be* a developer version. Instead there will be 2.0 and "legacy". At least, that's what I've been assuming while I made the site. Now, I have some suggestions for improvement: 1) Remove the "Contributing work" link from the Developers box. Replace it by a link to the ToDo list, which is geared specifically at developers. 2) The search.png icon is gone. 3) Make the download image a link. 4) The download box looks a bit too big now I think. Compare it with the previous one I had. The News section is kinda hidden now. On some browsers (Opera) it'll be below the screen. I think the earlier one is big enough to be dominant and impossible to miss. 5) This one will be harder to explain. I'm acting on the assumption that this page will be used for the 2.0 release (which is a fair assumption). Look at the big download box at the centre of the page. Visually the box is divided into 3 distinct regions (top, bottom-right, bottom-left). But in reality there are only 2 distinct choices (2.0 and "legacy"). This causes confusion, and doesn't "look right". The 2.0 link at the bottom-left is the logical one to take out. It's redundant since the top region is already dedicated to it. Now, I understand the visual need for balance and symmetry. So, maybe we can have one long pink bar accross the bottom of the square, dedicated to the "legacy" release. So, visually the box would be divided into two regions: "top" (dominant) and "bottom" (secondary). Sidenote: Notice how the edits are getting more minor on each round. I think we're converging to a very good site we'll all like. Cheers, Daniel.
