I just made another self test, looking for current FLTK version:

First I clicked on "FLTK Library" - seems logical, isn't it? Oh yes - 
there is a new release and I clicked on "FLTK 1.1.9rc2 released". 
"Article #817"? No library!

Okay, must be "Download":
Häh, so much Sourcecode? Subversion Access? Oh, oh, don't know about it, 
I only want the current library to become acquainted with FLTK!
Going on to figure out:
[FLTK Apps] -> Source Code, Subversion Access - oh that seems to be 
necessary? F***, whats Subversion Access? ;o(
[FLTK Library] we had before.
[Forum], [Links] and [Login] - obviously no library.
[Home] okay, I started with it. [Articles & FAQs] [Bugs & Features], 
[Documentation], [Screenshots] - nothing where I would anticipate the 
library! No library found!
But wait, maybe [Links]? Normally there are links to related themes, but 
I make a try. Nothing that makes a sense.

Now I really need to think! Hah, yes, I need to compile the library for 
myself! It had been the source! What a sophisticated FLTK user I am! :o)

But think of a beginner, who just wants to make a try...
There should be a small initiation, telling the visitor, how to get a 
"Hello World" quickly and how to use the source.

Also I often looked for the widgets. Now I know it's [Links] -> 
[Software] -> [Widgets], but I think, it should be more accentuated, 
because it is a huge advantage of FLTK, that there are existing so much 
related solutions.

Besides that, I think the page is okay. Fast and light without 
decorations. Maybe some people don't like the colour, but it doesn't 
hurt the eyes.
