Just a remark : there is no "home" link in the menu. The logo is a link, but I don't think it's sufficient. Also, I paste here a message I sent to the ml satursday iirc, but it never showed up. Hopefully this one will hit the target : > How about: > > Home > - Home > - What is Freenet? > - Download Freenet > Download Freenet should definitely be a top link, it gives it more visibility. The all point of the site is to make the user download freenet, so we should make it clear, on all pages, where to download it Home should link to the homepage and be a simple menu : that's how it is on all sites afaik, and consistency with "standards" is very important. We could move the What is Freenet? link under the About menu, since meanings are close, so the user will instinctively search under the about menu, and we already said to the user what freenet was. The What is Freenet? section is here if he wants more details. Also, there already is a second level link on the homepage pointing to the what is freenet page (Learn more). So it would be : Home Download About -What is Freenet? -... > About: > - Philosophy > - Papers > - People > Agreed.

Well, that's how I hear it. Besides that, it doesn't give the donation links the visibility it may need.

The CSS is still very basic, and maybe not well done for submenus, so maybe right now it wouldn't fit, but it's not really difficult to change that. > Actually, I'm not convinced we want to keep the documentation pages: > - Install only applies to the java installer, needs some typo fixes and a > new final screenshot, and some guidance on the post-install wizard. - > Connect: needs updating but is basically acceptable. > - Content: dunno, isn't this more About? but i'm not sure we want to move > it there... - Understand: maybe keep > - Freemail: probably keep, is sort of official > - Frost: dunno, we don't ship it, and we don't review it, but at the moment > we recommend it ... - jSite: keep > - Thaw: see Frost > - FAQ: should be at a higher level > - Wiki: should be at a higher level If we get rid of the documentation pages, we could rename the wiki link in docs. We probably also want to change the homepage of the wiki, since right now it's a bit confusing (lot and lot of links). _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
