Okay, some quick critiques and points: * The design structure is nice. That said, I must say I prefer the earlier one, mark 5 because it was simpler. But I really like the nice spacing on the left navbar. But I am wondering about the left navbar. It is requisite on SourceCast--but not technologically necessary. It can be removed, as a one-off for OOo. The reason to remove it and have a double tab bar: To locate all key information in one area. Right now, visitors going to the site will see the left navbar, good, but may miss the top navbar. We could enlarge the fonts, or area for the top navbar--it still seems a little crammed to me on XP (firefox) and OS X (safari), anyway--or locate the key information in a double top navbar, with one, the top, being tabbed, the bottom not. *. I am moving the Coming Events to MP. It won't be on the homepage any more. There are too many now, as it is, and the page cannot support all of them. *. Media Attention, which should be renamed, "news" should just be a link. It will take people to the newsletter and list of news stories that Deepkankar and others compile. So, that removes two big and to my mind fairly distracting boxes, Coming Events and Media Attention, replacing them with two links that can fit on the left navbar. *. We do need a short blurb about what OOo the product and project is. This can be one sentence or two, eg, "OpenOffice.org is the leading free office suite compatible with other suites; and it is also an open community project." *. The footer is still too large on XP and Safari. It needs to be smaller. -- Let's say we do have a double top navbar. Top could be tabbed, for really important things; bottom for nearly as important links, those currently on left navbar. This gives us room, under the central graphic for announcements, top news, whatever, all without distracting the visitor from learning about OOo and how to download it. My model is the apple website of course, but also others'. Cheers Louis * The icon for NLC projects is good, as is the minimal language, but let's eliminate the "English": it is confusing there. Or does it change per language? I would, as suggested, replace it with no language at all and just have, in the button, "Your Language." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
