Sure, but the JRE is still quite a bit of a download... And those who already have a JRE don't need it, so why not making it more obvious? Having it at the bottom more or less adds the impression, that this option refers to the "other versions" only. > >>* The NL notes have been combined.

My major critique was not the wording, it was the presentation.

Because those are not available on bouncer/on the main mirror network. (at least not until QA'd - and since QA is not done by Sun like for the other platfroms, this means that there usually is a delay until the other versions get their "Go" by community QA) and thus have their own download-pages. > >>* Make contribution of monetary donations more prominent > >> > >I don't think it is "agressively" presented.

Yes, of course. There only is some picture that looks only like a "beautification" element, nothing that attracts your attention, nothing that makes you click on it (you can, but that's not obvious IMHO) And in the text, it is till a link like the others... ciao Christian -- NP: Kid Rock - Black Chick, White Guy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
