Hi André, Personally, I would really like to see the new why page go live - it's so much more alive than the one online now (which has a single gif image eating up 200KB). If the goal of this redesign is to increase downloads, and it is, then the why.openoffice.org pages are very important!

Help! ;-) Basically, the problem is which tab will be highlighted on the page that is linked in from the "I want to download OpenOffice.org" action statement. Since there is no 'download' tab, we can't highlight that (the current website has a download navbar item, but the new proposed design doesn't). If you can make better tabs, I'd welcome that. I sent an email a while ago asking if someone might be able to make better tabs, since these were done very quickly. The navbar is 25px high, and it uses the CSS rollover technique (all 3 states - active, mouseover and selected in one PNG image) and there are 2 of these images - one for the left part of the tab and one for the right part. More importantly IMO is getting it validated. I wrote: > Currently, the design does not validate simply because h1 and > paragraph tags cannot be enclosed in a link.

I tried making the keywords in each action statement more prominent by making them a darker color, but this looked weird - a kind of unsettling feeling that there was something wrong with the page - someone might like to try this with different color combinations.
