Hi, Thank you all for your comments.
- Regarding font-size: The resolution problem is not just for this design but for all the pages that are on xwiki.org and even on any other page on the web. Using a big resolution mean that you will have small icons, small fonts, etc. Using @media queries is very easy to adapt the resolution and make it bigger, but is this what the user wants? He uses a big resolution on purpose, so maybe he doesn't want people to mess up with his preferences. Another nice thing about this proposal is that is uses a relative unit for the font size. The user can use the zoom option of his browser and adjust to the size he wants. - Regarding a fixed width for the content: It would have been so much easy for me to have a fixed width layout for the whole site, so many extensibility problems (regarding sizes, layout, flow, alignment, images) would have been solved much easier for me. First of all you can't have a fixed width just for the Homepage because it would look awkward. Second, xwiki.org contains lots of documentation pages that have lots of text and allowing this text to take all the space it needs is a good thing. Also especially since there are so many resolutions available now it would be a pity to have just a 980px container of documentation text and the rest to be just white space. When I'm saying this I am referring especially to xwiki.org scope as a documentation site. - Regarding the "Download XWiki" visibility: a solution would be to have Slide2 as the first slide in the carousel, making it more visible this way.
