I heard Google will rename our planet soon in GoogleEarth....;-) I admit to Curt in a lot of points here. The only advantage is there is no advertisement, which makes the current page look really bad. On the other side I like the clear structure of this new concept, the NOTAM is a great idea! I like that it makes use of a newer and fresh logo as the current one is from the last century. Only small things which could maybe improved: -the visual appearence needs still a little "kick"- maybe This logo: http://wiki.flightgear.org/images/3/3b/Wiki_logo.png with more different aircrafts as the A10 as header bar - a simple, good looking button "2.0.0" with a link straight link to the Download page -I miss the fact that we are OpenSource on the main page. Still a lot of people thinks we are commercial and all developers are salaried workers for "FlightGear" which leds to confusion.... Is this style and Design of this concept proteced by any licence? If not We could just take it over and find a place for the advertisement... Or maybe better: make a package of FGFS with the whole Scenery, sell it for less than 30Dollars for those who doesn't want and can't to download all stuff. That would probably help against FPS and keep the page running without advertisement.... Cheers Heiko __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
