Hi all, It's radically shorter now. I removed everything that seemed unimportant, some were also fixed. There isn't much to do anymore design-wise (if anything).
_ISSUELIST_ [ ] Do something for the gray horizontal line in the middle of the page. It's too dominating and looks untidy. [This actually means the background of the news block, "shadow.gif"] [ ] Consider adding title texts (shown as tooltips) to the top navigation links. [This would mean on all pages] [Can someone verify the validity of this issue?] [ ] A blue button on the homepage (default state) has 2 different shades of blue that don't fit together and break each other. [This is somewhat trivial, Maarten has verified this though] [ ] More compact CSS, maybe through combining declarations and using shorthand properties. [There is always room for improvement] ***** The following issues were removed or marked invalid (a long list): [I] DIVs containing only whitespace exist on homepage. For example one with id="contextualinformation". [SourceCast needs these and fills them with content] [I] "Skip to contents" links for ALL pages. Both "id" and "name" attributes for level 1 headings (on every page) to make this work. [Not enough control over other pages] [I] The "HTML Tidy" program suggests removing many of the indentations in the XHTML code to decrease filesize and download times. [Kills readability] [I] Content-Language definition (META) and xml:lang attribute (HTML) should be added for better internationalization. [Can't control] [I] Way too many unnecessary and nested DIVs. Replace with P tags with the same class or id. Remove those not needed. [Not important] [I] Egg image: Test different images on the homepage to see if they do good for the design. [Not important] [I] Shorter class and ID names. Prefer "topnav", but "forscreenreadersonly" and "contextualinformation" are unnecessarily long. [Not important enough] [I] Decrease the filesize of all images and backgrounds to as painfully small as possible. [Resolved, they are painfully small already] [I] Accesskeys for links and a comprehensive list of them in site help. [Very good idea, but once again not enough control over other pages] [I] There are two paragraphs (P) in the search field. One would do, with a BR separating the texts. [Not important] [I] META descriptions on at least some of the major index pages (Projects, Support, About...). [They already have "OpenOffice.org: The Open Office Suite"] [I] "In the Media" on the homepage and left nav headings on others need a bit more styling (I suggest a border). [They are good enough] The following have been fixed: [x] TITLE of the homepage must be something else than "Home". Suggesting "OpenOffice.org". [x] Description (META) for the homepage (Note: displayed in Google - search for "W3C" for example and look at the first result). [I don't know if this was added or if it was there already] [x] Increase text size of the left-hand navigation bars to make them stand out more.
