Notes on the blue-and-orange web design:


About a month ago, I updated the FreeDOS web site to use the
blue-and-orange bar design. At the same time, a bunch of links got
moved to the orange bar at the top of the page. Here's some history
behind that:

We have a bunch of apps hosted for us by SourceForge (bug tracker,
subversion, wiki, ...) This is great, because it means SF does all the
updates for us. The down-side is that we can't modify their
orange-and-grey web design.

The links in the orange bar all point to a hosted app, provided by
SourceForge. (The only exception is "Home".) So when you click on a
link in the orange nav bar, you aren't too confused when you next see
a page with an orange-and-grey design.

Most of the links in the left-hand navigation bar are now internal
links, pages which use the standard FreeDOS web design.

Eric keeps asking if I can put a copy of these links in the left-hand
navigation bar on the FreeDOS web site. I haven't done that because I
felt it was important to keep them in the top orange bar, so users
weren't confused by navigating to a SF-hosted app.  It was always
confusing to me to have the navigation links be mixed internal,
external, and SF-hosted. (In fact, I've been thinking about adding "»"
next to all the external links, just to make it clear ... but haven't
really had the spare time to do this.)
