Nice! Even though Native-Lang projects are forced to struggle every time
with the CollabNet templates, so every time there is an update we fear
our CSS tricks might break.

Could it be possible to make massive usage of "id" attributes so that it
is easier to manage them in CSS/JS? At least the main logo, its
associated link and the site slogan should have their own id. See

+1. Favorite icon for community:

+1 but I would put key words in a darker -not lighter- color.

Nice. I don't know why I'm offered OOo 2.4.0 in Italian instead of 2.4.1
like the true homepage does.

I see it blinking in Firefox 2. No major annoyance though.

Hmmm, this makes me think you haven't access to the HTML so you cannot
satisfy my first request. I hope the right person come across it, even
though it has been in IZ, untouched, for months.

+1. The Italian project might drop its JavaScript effects (see
http://it.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList ) in favor of
this.

I don't thik a:visited is necessary. We have enough different colors
already.
