That's only obvious, people! You can't create a website for a large project, no matter what the project is, and have it appear messed up in the most used browser in the world! Saying things like: only Linux people or opensource community people will want to see this site is only ridiculous. And this is a dangerous thinking too. It means you only want the project to be liked by very very few people no matter what. And you don't care about anyone else who may, instead, like the project very much and even become a linux user, an e17 user or even a developer. It's very simple to understand that the site must be shown correctly on any major browser, but I'm sure it will soon be fixed, of course, it would be a scandal if it wouldn't ;) Note that I don't use IE since when I switched to Linux and Mac, so, since years. I didn't know absolutely of this issue before this post but that's absolutely important. It's a priority I suggest. Because when people know about E17 they first look the webpage of course (it happens for any project, naturally) and when they visit our webpage, it's messed up. Well, the obvious reasoning is that the project is messed up too. Toma brings us an absolutely obvious and significative example. Greets everyone!
