There are some javascript related fixes to handle the new HTML5 tags

issues with like transparent pngs and such for older versions of IE
(less than 9), which is worse in severity for 5 and 6 (which nobody
uses) and particularly in the case of IE5 there is no javascript. I'm
certain these issues apply to even the current version of your site.
Sounds sensible.
I'm very much in support of your proposal. Given the Freenet userbase
I'd estimate (just from the top of my head) that these are `relevant'
considerations:
- graceful degradation when JavaScript support is disabled, but I think
it's even preferred to do everything without any JavaScript at all.
- Support for modest requirements and outdated browsers (I wouldn't go
as far as try an support IE5 though :) )
- Simplified use of the English language to accommodate non-native speakers
Before we end up with endless discussions on functional design
requirements I'd say to just give it a go and provide a mockup which
focuses on a new user which (1) tries to understand what Freenet is and
whether he/she should install it and (2) How to install it and where to
move from there.
Thanks for taking the initiative, I'm looking forward to a mockup.
