Overall very nicely done!

However, the Search, Log In, and Change Language section on the main
page fails standard Accessability color requirement.

An easy test is available here:
http://www.accesskeys.org/tools/color-contrast.html
Enter http://www.openoffice.org/ in the Web Address & tick 'Only Errors'
and 'Show Source'.

I am not color blind, and even I had difficulty finding & noticing the
selection area.
